#Trump discloses thousands of stock trades. What it means - In a government filing late last week, President Trump disclosed more than 3,500 stock trades on his behalf in the first quarter — at least $1 million each was purchased in shares of Nvidia, Oracle, Microsoft, Boeing and more.
The trading included sales of holdings in Meta, Amazon and Walt Disney, among others.
All told, there were hundreds of millions of dollars worth of transactions, per the Financial Times, although it is not known how much money the president earned (or lost) as a result.
Why it matters: In modern history, no president has had an active investment portfolio quite like this.
"We've never seen a president trading actively in the stock market before," says Richard Painter, who served as the chief White House ethics counsel under former President George W. Bush and is a critic of Trump. https://www.axios.com/2026/05/19/trump-stocks-nvidia-boeing #Grift #Grifting #Corruption #ethics #USpol -

I honestly believe nothing short of a MASSIVE #BlueTsunami that even rampant #Gerrymandering and #VoterSupression #Disenfranchisement can't overcome will put a stop to the spread of this #Trumpism Disease and show the world the #racists & #grifting political #ConMen aren't winning, relegating them to the dustbin of history. -

@dar @ChrisMayLA6 Like sports professionals, politicians need to wear their sponsors logos whenever appearing in public.

#NeoLiberals will do what neoliberals do… sell the Sate to private enterprise. They’re such #Grifting hypocrites, because I refuse to believe that they do not know that #StateCapture is harmful to society.#Privatisation has never, in written history, benefited society and only leads to degradation of services and eventual parlous state requiring public bailouts… meanwhile #TheRich have sucked all the $$$ out of it in the process. This is a familiar merry-go-round, seen before, seeing it again, and unless things change we’ll see it again… the great golden goose that never fails to deliver to the top end of town.

The Trump Regime – or, the Mar-a-Lago Mafia if you want – steals from everyone, so why not from Ukraine and Europe? They even started the war with Iran and is pushing the world into its worst recession since forever just to create good conditions for insider trading and shorting stocks. #grifting‼️

This is one of those "embrace the power of AND" because it's that and so much more. It's the #grift that keeps on #grifting.
Begin with the assumption that anything that costs so much *must* be Important. Worthy. and all the other adjectives in the #Sunkcost box of excuses.
Then go on to the "It's New Technology, of course it's not good. Yet." and all the rest of the #alpha BS. Some of y'all sign up for #beta access, but alpha is the one they force into every app on every platform they can manage.
It's this ubiquity that is going to make the burst so horrific.

#Labor is selling us out to the #Grifting #Gas industry corporations, their #Investors and their #Shareholders. Not only are the Gas companies taking the mickey, our #PrimeMinister #AlboPM is colluding with them at having a jolly ol’ laugh at every Australian’s expense. Literally.
Aside from that, it seems we can’t afford the NDIS— Give me a break.

If #AlboPM is resisting the #GasTax because he gave his ‘word’ to foreign gas recipient’s demands (aka Bullying) to not do so, then he’s a bigger mug than I thought and frankly not as savvy as he portrays.
One: Those mulit-year fixed prices gas export contract will outlast the #Hormuz debacle (plan?) so any increases the #Grifting Corporations might add to the price of gas will be felt years from now when contracts are to be renewed.
Two: The #Investors are also the recipients of the gas and a tax on gas will cut into their egregious profit margins. So who cares?Conclusion: AlboPM is complicit (knowingly or otherwise) to the rape and pillage of Australian sovereign #resources and a flight of our currency to foreign shores.
Ergo — kick #Labor out of govt and put the Greens in to fix this shit!

It’s worth noting that a call to cut ‘red tape’ is a euphemism for #NeoLiberal #Deregulation in order to further #Grifting through #Globalisation and #FreeMarketEconomics all of which were debunked in the #2008FinancialCrisis and its aftermath.Typical political trash talking, masking flawed economic theory with misdirection, who doesn’t like less red tape?

And it takes an fossil fuel scarcity threat/event pushing up bowser prices (#Greed and #Grifting) for govt(s) to do the bleeding obvious in terms of ‘emissions’ climate action and public welfare !!! I guess this cannot occur when the #FossilFuelIndustries are in control of the narrative. It also depends on the severity of pocket nerve shock that the electorate will tolerate before politicians act in opposition to Corporate dictat and influential #NeoLiberal economics wonks.Funny world eh?

Tegan George adds further weight to the argument favouring #TaxReform in the #FossilFuelIndustry and #GasSuperProfits with this article for The Point:
“A lead analyst at the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) has argued that conditions are ripe for an overhaul of how Australia taxes liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports, with gas giants preparing to cash in on another global price surge.”
