📉 Politicians Profiting Off the Market?
After Trump’s tariffs crashed the market, some lawmakers made suspiciously timed stock buys—just before a rebound. 🤔
🔍 Insider Trading?
That’s when someone uses secret info to trade stocks. Illegal for most—but Congress? Not always held accountable.
💰 Not the First Time:
In 2020, Senators sold stocks after private COVID briefings.
No one was charged, despite public outcry.
🏛️ Pelosi Under the Microscope
Pelosi’s husband bought Nvidia stock before a big chip bill passed—right after her Taiwan trip. Coincidence?
🚨 Any Laws?
The STOCK Act exists but has weak penalties. New bills to ban trading by lawmakers have stalled in Congress.
⚠️ Why It Matters:
If lawmakers profit from secrets while the public loses money, how can we trust them?
