Tell Congress: Investigate Trump's Insider Trading

Donald Trump is monetizing the presidency for his own financial gain — and Congress is letting him get away with it.

New disclosures show thousands of stock trades were made on Trump’s behalf in just the first quarter of the year, including investments in companies whose fortunes can rise or fall based on decisions made by his own administration.

The timing is impossible to ignore. Trump has repeatedly used social media and public statements to promote specific companies while buying shares in those same companies around the same time.

Tell Congress: “Launch a full investigation into Donald Trump’s stock trading, subpoena records, expose conflicts of interest, and ban presidents from trading individual stocks while in office.”

This is not how public service is supposed to work. Presidents should make decisions for the public good — not while holding stocks that could benefit from those decisions, then publicly cheering on the same companies they stand to profit from.

Trump’s team claims the trades are handled by independent brokers. But that is exactly why Congress must investigate. The public deserves to know who made these trades, what information they had, whether anyone close to Trump had advance knowledge of government action, and whether federal policy was shaped in ways that enriched the president.

Congress has the power to subpoena trading records, question Trump officials under oath, demand documents from agencies, and pass strong anti-corruption legislation. Lawmakers can also close the loophole that allows presidents to own and trade individual stocks while they govern.

Add your name now and demand Congress investigate Trump’s stock trades before corruption becomes business as usual.

The petition to Congress reads: "Launch a full investigation into Donald Trump’s stock trading, subpoena records, expose any conflicts of interest or insider trading, and pass legislation banning presidents from trading individual stocks while in office."
