Many lawmakers on both sides of the political spectrum are not going to be happy about this.
President Donald Trump is sending a clear message: the days of Washington politicians getting rich off insider information must end.
In a new interview with Time magazine, President Trump promised he would “absolutely” sign off on a law banning stock trading by members of Congress.
“I saw Nancy Pelosi make a fortune using insider information. If Congress sends me that bill, I’ll gladly sign it,” President Trump said while reflecting on his first 100 days back in office.
Pelosi’s Wealth Raises Serious Questions About Washington Corruption
Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has long faced allegations of using insider knowledge for personal gain.
Her husband, Paul Pelosi, made millions on perfectly timed stock trades while she held power in Congress.
After years of public outrage, Pelosi reluctantly dropped her opposition to a stock trading ban back in 2022 — but by then, the damage was done.
Millions of Americans have lost trust, watching political insiders enrich themselves while working families struggle to protect their savings and retirement accounts.
Stock Trading Scandals Are Not Just a Democrat Problem
While Democrats like Pelosi dominate the headlines, concerns have spread across the aisle.
In one recent example, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), a strong Trump supporter, came under fire for stock trades made just before the President announced a 90-day pause on major tariffs — a move that sent markets soaring.
Greene has defended herself, saying she relies on professional financial advisers and has no direct involvement in individual trades.
Still, the public demand for accountability is growing.
Trump’s Plan to Clean Up Washington: Ban Congressional Stock Trading
For years, Americans have demanded action to stop insider trading in Congress.
Bipartisan bills have come and gone, but nothing ever passed both chambers.
The strongest push came last year when the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee moved forward with the Ending Trading and Holdings in Congressional Stocks Act, a proposal that would have prohibited members of Congress, their spouses, and their dependent children from buying and selling individual stocks.
Unfortunately, it stalled in a Democrat-controlled Senate. Now, under President Trump’s leadership and a Republican Senate majority, real reform is finally within reach.
Americans Deserve Better — And Trump is Fighting for It
Everyday Americans are tired of the rigged system where political elites profit while hard-working families bear the burden.
President Trump’s promise to end congressional stock trading corruption is another powerful reason he has the overwhelming support of patriotic Americans.
The message from President Trump is clear: it’s time to drain the swamp — and it starts with cutting off Congress’s backdoor to Wall Street profits.
