Investment accounts owned by President Trump engaged in more than 300 previously undisclosed stock purchases on April 8, 2025, one day before his surprise announcement that he would pause a number of his “Liberation Day” tariffs, his financial disclosure report says.

Their disclosure, more than 14 months after they occurred, is the latest revelation to fuel calls for greater scrutiny of the president’s financial assets.

Trump and his sons ripped off nearly one million of their supporters and made a fortune producing nothing of value for anyone. Blood sucking leeches, using the US presidency to do it. And they couldn’t care less and their cult doesn’t seem to mind. Strange times in America.

For those wondering how Trump's January 6th slush fund happened without Congress: it's a settlement. He settled a fake lawsuit with the Department of Justice (which he runs) for $1.7 billion and is using the proceeds to pay his savages. All done without a single vote held.Seems like it ought to be a bigger story that Donald Trump is creating a government slush fund to make all the January 6th insurrectionists millionaires.That $1.7b slush fund for Trump has to be the single greatest act of corruption by a US president and he originally wanted it to be worse.The Art of the Steal.
