Investigate and block Trump's profiteering in office; IMPEACH him now

Investigate and legislate Trump's stock trading and possible market manipulation. Donald Trump has already made 3,700 stock market trades while in office. This is a staggering figure. Add to the sheer volume of trading the fact that many of those trades were in stocks that are affected by his administration's policies. As if that wasn't already corrupt enough, Trump appears to be engaging in market manipulation: For example, he visited a Thermo Fisher facility on the same day he purchased the company's stock. Indeed, he bought Thermo Fisher stock repeatedly in the weeks before his visit. This is only one example of Trump's self enrichment and pursuit of profit, his ceaseless deployment of his office in pursuit of private gain. (Remind me how much the US government pays for his security detail to stay at Mar a lago? Remind me how much our airports now have to pay him -- per the Guardian on May 9th: "Trump airport branding deal opens new route to profit for family Richard Luscombe in Miami Florida agreement grants US president control of licensing and merchandising at renamed airport, analysts say." Trump is undermining the dignity of presidential office at every turn: with his vulgar and abusive language, with his contempt for the rule of law and the constitution (the very laws he swore to see faithfully executed), with his contempt for our allies and sycophancy towards Vladimir Putin, with his corrupt attempts to remake the White House and DC monuments, with his childish and profane meme posting, with his uncountable abuses of the emoluments clause and so much more. We the people did not choose this: such self-serving corrupt grifting is a betrayal of law, integrity, decency and the office of the President. I ask you to intervene using all the means at hand to investigate and expose this corruption, to block it, and to remove Trump from office by impeachment.
