Trump Selling Early Access to His Posts is Insider Tradin.

To: Sen. Scott, Rep. Wilson, Sen. Graham Nordone

From: A verified voter in North Augusta, SC

August 5

'On Saturday, Trump began selling access to his social media posts to Wall Street trading firms milliseconds before they go public, permitting them to buy and sell with insider information. The cost for this service, according to Marina Dunbar of The Guardian, is up to $100,000 a month. Kathleen Clark of Washington University School of Law, an expert in government conflicts of interest rules, told Bernard Condon of the Associated Press that this scheme is “yet more brazen corruption, an improper exploitation of government power to enrich himself.”' - Heather Cox Richardson When are the Republicans who currently dominate both branches or Congress going to fulfill their oaths to the Constitution and to their constituents and stop Trump's blatant corruption?! Donald Trump is clearly just using the office of President of the United States to avoid prosecution, stay out of jail, and enrich himself. Are you really willing to let someone like this tear our federal government and our very country down around our ears just because he ran under your party? If you answer isn't a resounding "No!" public office isn't the place for you!
