congress President Trump’s recent post on Truth Social, in which he urged followers to buy stock immediately, raises serious ethical and legal concerns. This action appears to be a blatant misuse of presidential influence for personal financial gain. Utilizing a public platform to encourage stock purchases—especially just before the announcement of market-moving policy decisions—suggests not only a breach of public trust but a potential violation of insider trading laws. Even more troubling is the promotion of his own company’s stock ahead of decisions that directly benefited it. This level of self-dealing undermines the fundamental principle that public office should not be used for private enrichment. Such actions strike at the heart of securities regulations and ethical standards that are designed to ensure fairness in the marketplace. A full and immediate congressional investigation is imperative. If it is found that President Trump deliberately manipulated the markets and used the power of his office to boost his own financial interests, such conduct would constitute a flagrant breach of his oath and an impeachable offense. Failing to hold him accountable risks normalizing corrupt behavior at the highest level of government and eroding public confidence in both the presidency and our economic system. Congress must act decisively to uphold its constitutional duty and defend the integrity of American democracy.
