Trump's Trading Slogans Mask a More Sinister Pattern The latest batch of financial disclosures from President Donald Trump has sparked concerns about potential conflicts of interest, but beneath the surface lies a more insidious issue: the normalization of trading in high stakes tech stocks by those with access to sensitive information.
In the first quarter alone, Trump or his investment advisers made over 3,700 trades, totaling tens of millions of dollars.
Many of these transactions involved major companies with ties to the administration, including Amazon, Apple, and Google – household names with significant business dealings with the government.
