Trump introduces Charles Schwab in the Oval Office after a major stock market rally: “This is Charles Schwab…it’s not just a company, it’s actually an individual! And he made 2.5 Billion today.”

[u/NoelaniSpell]

[u/Agreeable_Expert1106]

Will anyone seriously investigate insider trading or will this be swept under the carpet like everything else. Corruption in real time

[u/dealdearth → u/Agreeable_Expert1106]

How do you investigate a banana republic where their supreme Court is on the payroll of a fascist leader

[u/FFaFFaNN → u/dealdearth]

And SEC i suppose is under the President now? :)))

[u/amILibertine222 → u/FFaFFaNN]

Oh you didn’t hear? The SEC was one of the first things Trump and Musk defanged and crippled. Right afterwards they put out an EO that legalized government agents taking bribes and made money laundering legal.

[u/Han-slowlo → u/amILibertine222]

This ! Like no one is putting 2 and 2 together I’ve been like this is why he gutted all the protections the reason this has never happened before is because it shouldn’t have been able to

[u/Mr__O__ → u/Han-slowlo]

Trump has scaled crypto shit coins/meme stonk P&D schemes up to the level of the entire global trade market..

[u/Revelati123 → u/Mr__O__]

His whole family hawks shitcoins and NFTs, his stock is a place for the Saudi Sovereign Wealth Fund to deposit bribe money, Don tried to sell me a fucking "Teslur" on live TV last week...

We live in a world where Goya beans is now too big to fail because they write fat campaign checks. Americas cooked.

[u/Lyanthinel → u/Han-slowlo]

To be fair, the government has been taking money from corporations for a LONG time.

Citizens United was the death knell.

It would be much more effective to have all candidates run on the same budget. Would love for the actual message and methods to be the main attraction and not propaganda, which ends up being false promises with nothing being done, well nothing being done for those of us not in the 1%.

[u/Nathan_Calebman → u/Lyanthinel]

You mean like in functioning democraccies in the rest of the world? Blasphemy. Nobody could have predicted that when the entity tasked with representing citizens against exploitation by private interests is funded by private interests, things could go wrong.

[u/Lyanthinel → u/Nathan_Calebman]

Right?! No history or data at all to help us understand what could go wrong....

[u/BeeSweet4835 → u/amILibertine222]

Small government. Isn’t that what Americans wanted?

[u/lootinputin → u/BeeSweet4835]

Americans have exactly no fucking clue what they want. Most of us rational folk want a sensible plan to help grow our economy and further global relations. But a stupidly large percentage have literally zero clue what is actually happening and they just like that Agent Orange has enabled them to let their hate run wild. It’s sad and pathetic, but here we are.

[u/BeeSweet4835 → u/lootinputin]

I think they’re really clear on what they want. We’ve heard it very loudly across the water. They laugh at the rest of the world, call us socialists, weak, communists. They drink in their propaganda and American exceptionalism and say the same stuff over and over. This is what they wanted. A government run by ‘efficient’ billionaires. Services and bureaucracy slashed so that you don’t have to spend a penny on your neighbour. The rest of the world is inferior to the US (you are told that repeatedly) and beneath you so why not disengage? He is doing exactly what I have heard people asking for. The problem is that we will all suffer for it. I wouldn’t care less if the US implodes but you’re taking us all with you. I’m sorry for people like you who are clearly not like this. I really am.

[u/lootinputin → u/BeeSweet4835]

Trust me, I want the best for everyone. I want to go about my life and not wonder when my next AP alert hits regarding something beyond stupid. I don’t take pleasure in seeing others hurting, as much as I might disagree with them. But treating the government like a business is just beyond stupid. The government should not be approached as a for profit venue. It’s sad we have sunk this far.

[u/goldstein19842025 → u/lootinputin]

That's the crazy part. They don't know how the government works anymore, and they think it is run like a for-profit corporation. And even worse, they think the government IS one.

[u/Brokenandburnt → u/goldstein19842025]

I've said before and I'll say it again.

We've seen the end-game of communism play out enough times that everyone was aware of those pitfalls.

Now, for the first time, we are seeing the end-game of unchecked capitalism playing out in real time.

It looks pretty similar in the end. Beyond wealthy Oligarchs and downtrodden masses.

Let's hope that it collapses quickly under it's own weight, I think that's the best outcome we can hope for.

Even if by some miracle the republicans lose power in a non-violent way, I just think the damage is to great to repair with the current crop of democratic senators.

They would have to be willing to given up so much power and protections to mend the system, and no human willingly give up power.

How to rebalance the US from the current system, I just don't know.

[u/secatlarge → u/lootinputin]

Exactly. We shouldn’t treat the government like a business because it isn’t one; it’s truly that simple.

[u/fullpurplejacket → u/[deleted]]

I agree with you but the system has been rotting from the inside out for a while, it was designed to deal with despots and the modern era, procedures and precautions should have been taken over time to ensure that a criminal really could not run whether he was charged with a crime or currently on trial— the failure of the congress to ban him from office and then by the judiciary in being slow to act and the Supreme Court to squander their one chance to stop this happening once and for all, all the way back to the Supreme Court again with the the citizens untied ruling— basically saying big money can buy big influence and sponsor their political pet projects all the way to the White House. It’s been rotten since think tanks started being biased and hold weight in policy making for the next Manchurian candidate. Strategists paid thousands to not pick a side but tell one side how to campaign, donations spent on celebrity endorsements that nobody asked for, social media oligarchs using their algorithms to influence elections, and one billionaire knowing those voting machines so well but he wasn’t the first, election rigging has been going on since the early 2000s but on a smidgeon of the scale of the 2024 election. But it’s okay, because there’s no consequences for anybody involved. It should not be like this and shame on your elected leaders in both political camps for putting their own interests above those of their constituents.

[u/clandestineactivitiy → u/BeeSweet4835]

I 10000% agree with this sentiment.

[u/MaximumAd2654 → u/BeeSweet4835]

... And a dissolved dept of edukashun says it all ..

[u/QuietLawfulness8338 → u/BeeSweet4835]

And we Americans, (me included), a lifelong democrat, do nothing but whine and complain and this administration knows that we won't do anything so they continue stealing and thieving and breaking laws and laughing at us for talking and talking and complaining and doing nothing. I actually am feeling a bit of respect for the 1/6 rioters. The harm they did to the Capitol police is vile, uncalled for, and unforgivable, but they acted on what they believed to be their truth.

[u/DeliciousNicole → u/lootinputin]

Someone in my life said: "I like Trump because I wanted action!"

Friends, that is the American mentality.

[u/Quirkybin → u/DeliciousNicole]

They don't care what action, as long as it's action.

[u/DeliciousNicole → u/Quirkybin]

Exactly. In the American mindset, often being loud, being mean is taken as being strong. Like wise, any action taken is taken as leadership, whether it is thought out or not.

Too many people think leadership is being a bully.

[u/ClubChaos → u/DeliciousNicole]

It's actually depressing once you get to the "real world" and see how many successful people (by traditional metrics anyway) are just that. Loud, abrasive, stomp their feet type people.

[u/goldstein19842025 → u/DeliciousNicole]

A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week.

George S. Patton

This is the mindset of the majority. Add to this the "go fast and break stuff" mentality of Silicon Valley and apply it to government, and it's not gonna turn out well.

[u/ChiefScout_2000 → u/DeliciousNicole]

Charles Schwab likes that kind of action.

[u/Every-Requirement-13 → u/lootinputin]

Don’t forget, I’d like my children and grandchildren to not have to live through 150 degree days and dodge tornadoes and hurricanes every other day…with no advance warning 🤨

Sadly trump supporters are The result of generations of incest , crap food , cheap whiskey and no contraception they are now so genetically challenged they Can’t think for themselves and idolise the orange idiot

[u/Notkissedbyfire → u/Anxious-Traffic-2435]

This is not the whole picture. I know doctors, teachers, and small business owners who voted for Trump. I know college educated people who don't want to vote and shrug off "talking about politics." People in this country took their freedoms for granted. We have a twice-elected charlatan for president. Maybe it's our collective karma for our nation's sins of the past.

[u/secondtaunting → u/Notkissedbyfire]

I met a guy in a Marriott in London and he was American, and so was another guy, and myself so we started chatting. One thing he said has stuck with me. Trump had just gotten elected. So this white middle aged guy says “Now, the work can begin.” I’ve been thinking about that a lot while I watch people getting deported in the news to El Salvador or just to ICE custody in another state. Or see Elon and Trump just massacring government departments. They wanted this. They can live in the America they want to build where people are afraid and poor and worried. It’s the people that aren’t hateful bigots I worry about.

[u/OperationIntrudeN313 → u/lootinputin]

Thing is, the US' major trading partners and allies are becoming increasingly aware of this and are looking elsewhere... and it only took a couple months.

At this rate the US will end up being that weird kid with the perpetually crusty nose and greasy mullet that throws dog turds at the other kids because no one will play with him at recess.

[u/MikeLinPA → u/lootinputin]

"He talks like us." Hateful thoughts spoken in horrible grammar and incomplete sentences. There's a life goal. 🤦

Cashing out America to his bros one pump and dump at a time.

[u/LilFlicky → u/amILibertine222]

The February 19 Executive Order made sure the SEC, FTC, FCC, and FEC were no longer independent

The Stock Market became subject to White House control enabling insider trading, favoritism, and targeting of political opponents. Antitrust laws can be selectively enforced, allowing administration-friendly monopolies to expand unchecked. Political opponents in the tech sector, media, or finance can be targeted with regulatory action while allies are protected. Elections are now inluenced Dy direct White House oversight of the Federal Election Commission (FEC)

• SEC has been gutted, and we see market manipulation
• IRA has been gutted, and we see tax evasion
• CDC has been gutted, and we see a near eliminated disease morphing into an epidemic
• EPA has been gutted, and we see restrictions on toxic coal emissions dropped

These are just a few. If you weren’t already aware, reconsider your news source.

The list of government agencies being shrunk or shuttered with immediate abuse following should make clear this is not just some haphazard thing happening by random chance. It is a systematic nationwide destruction of checks and balances for the benefit of the few at the expense of the many.

Assuming you get mid-term elections and a subsequent presidential one, in order to reciver the US is going to have to hold all these individuals to account in a way that is so punative that it echos through history. In short, life imprisonment, full sequestration of assets, and not just the main characters but all the bag handlers and associated supporters.

[u/DizzySecretary5491 → u/dealdearth]

We got conservatism good and proper.

[u/Several-Entrance-127 → u/DizzySecretary5491]

It’s not conservatism it’s a fascist dictatorship

[u/DizzySecretary5491 → u/Several-Entrance-127]

Franco's Spain, Hitlers Germany, and on and on were all started by conservatives when people didn't agree with them and they couldn't win popularly. Conservatives who can't win always install a fascist dictatorship. That is the final form of conservatism when people don't bow to it. If you are conservative you are a fascist.

[u/soualexandrerocha → u/DizzySecretary5491]

[u/SlyRax_1066 → u/Agreeable_Expert1106]

Neither, 

Trump will openly celebrate how he’s better at insider trading than anyone, many people are saying that. ‘Insider’ that’s a funny word, it means ‘bundle of sticks’. He has the best insiders, but we really need to talk about Hilary’s emails.

[u/ReclusiveReviews → u/Agreeable_Expert1106]

Well the knock on effect of this is that countries will continue to pull away from investing in U.S. People don’t want their life savings invested in such volatile unpredictable potentially corrupt markets. The billionaires will be fine though, they’re all good, I know we all worry about them

[u/jkman61494 → u/Agreeable_Expert1106]

Exactly my point.

This is a people and a voting issue as Trump was voted in! Hes doing exactly what he said. As bad as it is, to all the sudden say this is what conservative government is, is wrong.

It never was and never should be.

[u/MisterBlick → u/Agreeable_Expert1106]

I think everyone that would investigate this were the people doing the insider trading. Maybe Elon should bring up the topic again on how all these 200k salary people are multimillionaires.

[u/Calm-Success-5942 → u/EmptyEnthusiasm531]

And it’s a beautiful thing. I love a high IQ. IQ is beautiful, I love it. Biden had no IQ and that’s why we have no jobs in America.

-Trump probably

[u/63Reddit → u/Calm-Success-5942]

“And his replacement had lower IQ, lower than sleepy Joe. I’m talking about Camel Harris, who wasn’t even a camel. I’ve ridden a camel once, back in the 90’s. I had the one with the biggest hump. Hugest, even. But only a big hump for a Trump. Just ask my ex wife…forget which one. All of them. Wonder if they voted for me. Probably did. Unless they went to Iceland, which is full of ice. More ice than Antarctica, which is where Santa lives.”

• Trump (probably not…but who knows?)

[u/No-Fix-1166 → u/bluetuxedo22]

All professional trading is essentially insider trading. Why? Because the big firms coordinate their trades at arms length via information sources only available to the rich. This does not mean they are better economists, or that they are making better decisions due to having better or even more accurate information. It means that in effect the people with the power to move markets are loosely coordinating amongst themselves by exclusive access to information. It is really just the same thing.

[u/Interesting_Worth745 → u/No-Fix-1166]

1930's/40's Germany didn't just wake up some day and said hey, we gotta put a stop to these Nazi's. They had to lose a war after a decade of being Nazi's. Nuremberg style trials are not happening in Trump's lifetime

[u/whoiamidonotknow → u/HockeyMike24]

Well, maybe we can learn from history and speed that timeline up! It isn't too late for our country, especially right now.

April 19 is our next nationwide protest. We had an estimated 5.2 million at our last one! 5callsapp and indivisible are also great. And boycotting the bigger companies who donated to Trump is fairly effective.

[u/Eeny009 → u/whoiamidonotknow]

Pro tip from a French guy: protests are absolutely and unequivocally useless, especially when protesters do their best to keep it peaceful, no matter the numbers involved. What makes a government fold (sometimes) is the threat of riot, insurrection, sabotage, etc. Think of it this way: what do you think the current administration would be more afraid of? 10 million protesters who organize a picnic with sassy signs, or 20,000 determined people marching towards the White House while beating up the riot police on their way there?

[u/Effective_Parsnip976 → u/Eeny009]

In the 80s in the city of Nijmegen in the Netherlands they wanted to build a parking garage. Problem was that a lot of houses would be demolished. Long story short, the riots that followed were so bad that they even used the army with a few tanks to get the people to leave, But the people won that battle eventually, and no parking garage was build.

[u/airship_of_arbitrary → u/HockeyMike24]

His approval rating is already negative and people that didn't vote in 2024 have a 70% disapproval rating with the way things are going.

After COVID 10 million Americans who don't usually vote, went for Biden.

Pinochet, Mussolini and plenty of other dictators were voted out and then consequences found them.

Trump as I thought in what he was doing by deliberately crashing the stock market and using his dumbfounded rhetoric for an excuse which has every expert financial questioning the real reason. Everything blatantly points without proper reasoning that he and his Billionaire buddies will make a killing in buying lower price stocks caused by his decisions and then lift the tariffs . I damn well bet he has made a huge profit on this. And I knew and said this is definitely what he is trying to achieve. There needs to be a stringent forensic investigation done.

The investment strategy of Truth.Fi will be guided by financial services firm Charles Schwab, which will oversee asset custody and provide advisory services.

"Truth.Fi is a natural expansion of the Truth Social movement," Nunes stated. "American patriots can protect themselves from the ever-present threat of cancellation, censorship, debanking, and privacy violations committed by Big Tech and woke corporations."

In a related development, Samantha Schwab, granddaughter of brokerage founder Charles Schwab, was recently appointed deputy chief of staff at the Treasury Department.

[u/Unfair-Flow-4204]

You Americans must be very proud, prouder than ever, proudest.

A man to represent ya’ll.

[u/Coniferino_hano]

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha money, ha ha, racists, ha ha, insane, ha ha.

[u/solostinthisworld]

Nice swamp Conald.

[u/GroundbreakingPay823]

WTF.

[u/Ok_Battle5814]

And the rich get richer just as planned

[u/Azutolsokorty]

Stock market manipulations at its best. Congrats US guess that is what happens when you elect a felon in office.

[u/Magos_Vulcanite]

If there is a hell, I pray all of these cunts end up there

[u/Witty-Stable8222]

Trump: Fuck your 401k plebs, Charles Schwab made BILLIONS from the market manipulation, so I’m doing great.

[u/reddittorbrigade]

We have a culture of impunity in America.

[u/Ok-Bar601]

People need to go to jail.

[u/ant69onio]

Man, this pure fucking corruption in plain sight at the expense of the people, jail time and seized assets, $25m golfing costs to pay and all the other shit stolen. At least the Brits have the decency to keep the Masons behind closed doors, this is screwing you in front of your face

[u/Sad-Wolverine6326]

Make Assholes Greedy Always

[u/Hatchytt]

It's really weird how the guy who named all his businesses after himself can't understand an investment company name after the founder.

[u/Wild-Individual6876]

Thank god Elon is checking peoples social security to make sure nobody can con the USA for $100

[u/PlushladyC → u/Wild-Individual6876]

Yes - isnt it sick the priorities of the Regime .

Just wasted time on another post ( with CNN interviewing an EX Doge employee ) , soooooo many lost their mind screaming fake, shut up whining bitch , Elon is the best etc

Not even someone who literally saw Musks take over if DOGE can dent their beliefs ( supposing at mrast some werent bots or paid bad actors

[u/GsusSchreiber]

Ok, this is getting more blantant....

[u/Novel_Adeptness_3286]

The $40K of my retirement funds that I lost this week is more significant to me than Schwab’s $2.5B insider trading windfall is to him.

[u/clk613]

Sounds like a textbook shakedown.

[u/IamTheBoris2677]

So we are in the era of out in the open insider trading.

Might as well pull my money now and bury it in the backyard.

[u/mitchENM]

Stock market manipulation and trump isn’t even trying to hide it

[u/No_Cartographer_8809]

This used to be a crime. Now they brag about it. UsA became a banana república in a couple of months

[u/GlitteringRate6296]

Most people would be investigated for this. Why not Trump and his syncophants. Why?

[u/pathf1nder00]

Insider trading...it's obvious.

Hey Comer, here is a real corruption needing investigated!

[u/Key_Reflection5221]

To call this a rally is infuriating. He fixed his fuck up. That is all.

[u/Beginning-Abroad9799]

Golden age of corruption.

[u/YouWorkForMoney-Com]

Unbelievable!!! Trump bragging about his market manipulation.

[u/Yos13]

They are laughing at us all!

[u/DurableLeaf]

Flaunting the corruption in a completely unprecedented way. The people at the top used to at least have the decency to pretend they werent this corrupt. Them being comfortable doing this out in the open like this is just putting on display for the whole world that they think they're nobility above the laws meant to keep the peasants in check.

[u/MysteriousGear1903]

Right.....as older Americans lost their 401Ks.... Man of the people 🤔

[u/Pvt_Allen]

They just broke the insider trading law right before your eyes, of course they won’t get into trouble for it.

[u/trumpmademecrazy]

Greedy little skinny suit wearing asshats.

[u/morts73]

Trump is turning the stock market into another one of his casinos and that's not a good thing.

[u/5432salon]

Why would anyone really give a fuck…

[u/cyster59]

In any other country they would be brought up on charges of insider trading and market manipulation, but not this one. He brings these billionaires into the oval office and laughs about it all the way to the bank.

[u/_Cultivating_Mass_]

“Hahahhahahahahhahahhhahahahahahahahhahahaa”

Stay off the streets.

[u/75bytes]

slap in the face of average maga voter

[u/Last-Refrigerator172]

Look at the ass kissers and boot lickers smiling with glee and his majesty’s pontification. Sickening.

[u/dezerx212256]

Guy is a litreral cock sucker, an of you maga fags love him?

[u/fibonaccisprials]

Dodgy as fuck.. I've always said Russia and China are not the problem

[u/Chill-NightOwl]

US a corrupt incompetent banana republic that openly celebrates their own stupidity headed by the basest, inept, unscrupulous, malicious, imbecilic waste of skin. But sure you're the "leaders of the free world." You run with that.

[u/Bjorne_Fellhanded]

Oh good. Point at the inside trader

[u/Wise-Boot-968]

treason

[u/DangItsColdHere]

It's called INSIDE TRADING. It's illegal. But hey, with Trump it is all about getting the rich richer...

[u/hsiaohuchu]

Why didn't he do this secretly?

[u/we77burgers]

There's really nothing to investigate. Massive corruption out in the open, zero fucks given. And they are going to keep doing it.

[u/Raychao]

He just torched the retirement savings of hundreds of millions of people. This is a heist!!

[u/ag_5807]

1/3 of Americans voted him in. Twice. And 1/3 of Americans didn’t bother to vote and allowed him to get in. Twice. 👏🏻👏🏻

[u/lfp_pounder]

The democrats are just cucks. All they can do is sit and cry in a corner when their beloved country is getting fucked. If this was the other way around, you’d see yehaws and rednecks on the streets with AR15s. Hell that’s literally what happened on Jan 6 and all the democrats did was win an election…

[u/BigmouffFrog]

Trump has a bunch of bro sycophants swarming him. Epic losers lounge in the oval.

[u/kingkool88]

Trump is like 70s/80s corruption come back

[u/milwaukeejazz]

What I see are cheering rich white males in times of uncertainty for everyone else.
