Did you see what Donald Trump posted last Wednesday morning?

“THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!”

A few hours later, Trump “paused” most of the stupid and destructive tariffs he had unilaterally imposed on dozens of nations all across the globe. Following this seemingly sudden reversal, the stock market had one of its largest one-day upturns in over a decade.

Members of Congress are required to publicly disclose stock trades valued at over $1,000 within 45 days.

Some members of Congress — including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, and Sen. Chuck Schumer — are saying the American people should not have to wait that long to find out if any MAGA Republicans profited from Trump’s tariff tantrum:

• They are calling for every member of Congress to immediately disclose any stock trades made between April 2 and April 9.

• They are calling for state attorneys general to investigate whether Donald Trump, his family, anyone in his administration, or any members of Congress engaged in insider trading, market manipulation, or other illegal actions related to the tariff pause.

• They are calling for a ban on stock trading by members of Congress altogether.

Tell Congress:

It would be unconscionable if any member of Congress used their position to benefit financially from Donald Trump’s tariff insanity — especially when millions and millions of everyday Americans are suffering the resulting financial chaos. Every senator and representative should immediately disclose any stock trades made between April 2 and April 9. State attorneys general should investigate any potential wrongdoing. And members of Congress should be banned from trading stock altogether.
