🚨 #CongressTradingBan Gains Momentum Amid Market Manipulation Allegations 🏛️📉

In April 2025, a bipartisan push to ban stock trading by U.S. lawmakers has intensified following allegations of market manipulation tied to former President Donald Trump’s tariff reversal. Trump’s April 9 post urging investors to “BUY!!! DJT” preceded a 12% Nasdaq surge and a 22% spike in his media company’s stock, raising ethical concerns .

Senators Jon Ossoff and Josh Hawley have advanced a bill through committee to prohibit members of Congress, their spouses, and dependents from trading individual stocks, requiring assets to be placed in blind trusts . President Joe Biden has publicly endorsed such a ban, stating, “Nobody in the Congress should be able to make money in the stock market while they’re in the Congress” .

Public support remains strong, with 86% of Americans favoring the ban . As the legislation moves to the Senate floor, lawmakers face mounting pressure to restore public trust and eliminate potential conflicts of interest.
