18. People seem to forget one day in Trump's first term
Sun Apr 19, 2026, 12:04 PM
Sunday

when select number of Republican Senators got some insider information about just how bad Covid was going to be, and literally ran to their phones that afternoon and bought and sold Corporation's stocks based on information, that afternoon. The next day Trump announced that he had just learned how bad it was going to be and how hard it was going to hit the U.S.
By that time, the select Republican Senators had already notified their friends, family and Uber Rich donors the afternoon they had first learned it. The SEC broadcast that they had been seeing a fortune in stocks traded by individuals, and stated there were a huge amount traded by one particular U.S. Senator......from Louisiana? (I can't remember her name, but she was married to the head of the New York Stock Exchange) They noted that during that first afternoon, she had made 20?Million in trades, and they were still adding to it. They said it appeared that she was selling stocks her and her husband owned in Corporations that might suffer a collapse during covid, and buying corporate stocks in companies that would do well during covid......

That story appeared the day after the secret meeting of Senators had occurred, then nothing appeared after that, obviously Trump's CABAL had come down on the SEC like a ton of bricks for publicly stating that info......Sadly we could have learned about alot if they had investigated her trades, and all the other massive trades by people that afternoon......Other Republican Politicians, their friends, families and mega donors

After that, Stocks and other investments were the Republican Politicians playground for massive individual wealth building, with all the "Insider" information they were privy to, along with their friends, families, and mega wealthy Republican Donors.
With all the ups and downs in the stock market, caused by Trump's daily announcements, you all and I can only imagine the amount of money, corruptly obtained during the first administration and this administration in this way........

AND, we wil never learn about any of this....due to the SEC being run by a Trumphumper, and because all of the mainstream media is owned by the Uber wealthy, Republican Owned and Operated Media, here in America, who have an interest in also keeping their mouth's shut about it, and continually taking part in this black hole of corrupt insider trading........just like the Republican Politicians and Trump's CABAL.....

And people wonder how the top 1% has made an unfathomable increase in their net worth these past ten years.......

The perfect title for a book about the last 46+ years, and particularly the last ten years would be
WHILE THE NATION SLEPT...............especially the 70+Million Trump humping voters who can's see or comprehend anything literally....beyond the end of their noses.........

I stopped behind a most expensive Porsche in traffic a few months ago......... It had a bumper sticker on it....(Wondering what Porsche owner would put a bumper sticker on their car????????) It read, in large bold print: GOT MINE....FUCK YOU........it epitomized all that is going on in the U.S. today, by Republicans......
