D.C. Swamp Creatures, Beware: Trump Takes Aim at Your Stock Portfolios!
Finally, someone is calling out the outrageous practice of politicians lining their pockets with insider trading. At the State of the Union, President Trump demanded Congress pass restrictions on their own stock trading—and the reaction was telling.
- Trump called for Congress to “Pass the Stop Insider Trading Act without delay!”
- Republicans and Independents showed far more support than Democrats.
- Even Elizabeth Warren had to clap!
Democrats’ Lukewarm Reaction Speaks Volumes
The “dial test” showed something fascinating. When Trump called for an end to congressional stock trading, Republicans and Independents were all fired up. But the Democrats? Not so much. Their dials barely budged. It seems they’re perfectly happy with the status quo, where they can use their positions to get rich. Is it any wonder Americans distrust Washington?
Pelosi’s Dodges and Weaves: Classic!
Of course, Nancy Pelosi had to chime in, feebly claiming, “We all did” stand up and clap for Trump’s statement on this. But her history speaks for itself. She’s been dogged by questions about her own suspiciously timed trades, and she’s been slow to embrace real reform. Her excuse is always the same: “There was nothing wrong with that.” Sure, Nancy, sure.
The Left’s Usual Hypocrisy: Never Enough!
Even as Trump calls for action, some left-wing groups are whining that the proposed restrictions don’t go far enough. They always want more, more, more government control. The truth is, they don’t want solutions; they want power. Their “solution” would “effectively ban members of Congress from buying, selling and owning stocks.” This is just another step towards a socialist economy.
What This Means for Our Future
Trump’s spotlight on this issue is crucial. It forces politicians to acknowledge the blatant conflicts of interest that have eroded public trust. If we want to drain the swamp, we need to stop letting politicians get rich off their positions. This isn’t just about fairness; it’s about the integrity of our government and the future of our nation. Let’s hope this is the push Congress needs to finally do the right thing. But will they, or will they find another way to protect their gravy train?
