Last week, the U.S. Office of Government Ethics (OGE) published two Form 278-T disclosure reports covering Trump’s personal financial activity from January through March 2026. The documents, more than 100 pages, show more than 3,700 individual stock transactions. That’s more than 40 trades per market day across a three-month period.
I don’t know either. But in this case, the combination of insider trading and the power to create the circumstances that enable your gains in the firstplace is absolutely nefarious.
Especially since it’s combined with a complete disregard for any collateral damage.
Totally agree. The stock market is a massive web of nepotism and institutional favoritism benefiting a very specific class of people.
It is overwhelmingly weighted toward those who already possess wealth, access, and insider connections. The fact that it exists in its current form says a great deal about our society and its priorities.
Thousands of years from now, if humanity ever resolves scarcity and reaches a more rational economic system, historians will likely look back at this era with disbelief wondering how civilizations tolerated such a fundamentally unequal structure for so long, and how we managed to emerge from what may eventually be viewed as an economic dark age.
