Basically, the wild policy churn we see is designed to enable insider trading profits rather than benefit the country

    And that’s just him. Imagine what the rest of his family is doing. Total scumbags… However… It’s not illegal, they all do it. I’d be happy to see officials make it illegal and not just frowned upon.

      they all do it.

      No they don’t. And definitely not to this extent. And especially not past presidents.

      Stop acting like this shit is normal.

        It isn’t normal but it was only a matter of time. We keep NOT holding our leaders accountable for the things that ARE crimes. this was inevitable.

      Legal, illegal, doesn’t matter. When you are a rich pedophile they let you do it.

      Us poor people treat fines, charges, lawyers and court proceedings as deterrents against doing certain things … especially if they are illegal.

      Rich people treat fines, charges, lawyers and court proceedings as the cost of doing business … and it doesn’t matter if its legal or illegal to them … they just throw money at everything and they don’t care if it’s right or wrong or moral or immoral.
