The total value of Trumpâs transactions in the first three months of this yearâagain, 0 millionâis higher than the value of all trades by all 535 members of the House and Senate combined in an average year.

(18,871 posts)Presidents are not prohibited from holding or trading stocks while in office, but they are required to report their transactions.
Trumps annual financial disclosure is expected to come out later this year.
The latest filings only required Trump to disclose transactions of securities above $1,000. The forms also specified that filers do not need to disclose certain financial assets, such as mutual funds or other investment funds, U.S. Treasury bonds and property.
Make trading ILLEGAL for ALL politicians while you're at it.
