Washington, D.C. — As President Donald Trump moves boldly to protect American jobs and industry with sweeping new tariffs, Democrats are once again launching politically motivated attacks—this time accusing Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene of insider trading.
🔍 Democrats Demand Investigation as Trump Tariffs Shake Global Markets
Rep. Greg Casar (D-TX) demanded a formal investigation Thursday into what he calls “insider trading” by Greene, claiming without evidence that Trump’s April 2 announcement on reciprocal global tariffs may have benefitted GOP lawmakers and private firms.
“We need to look into whether K Street lobbyists or Republican insiders got early tips,” Casar said in an inflammatory statement aimed at discrediting President Trump’s tariff strategy.
A spokesperson for Rep. Greene called the accusation “utterly absurd”, reaffirming that her investments were publicly disclosed in accordance with the STOCK Act, which requires timely reporting of stock trades exceeding $1,000.
📉 Trump’s “Liberation Day” Tariffs Rock the Markets – But There’s More to the Story
On April 2, President Trump announced a bold economic move: a reciprocal tariff policy targeting foreign countries that tax U.S. goods unfairly. Dubbed “Liberation Day,” the announcement triggered a global sell-off, with markets reacting sharply to the shift in trade posture.
Yet just one week later, Trump announced a 90-day pause to allow allied nations to negotiate new trade deals with the U.S.—a masterstroke that triggered a sharp market rebound and renewed investor confidence.
Trump wrote on Truth Social: “THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!! DJT” — referencing both his initials and the ticker symbol for Trump Media & Technology Group, in which he maintains a controlling interest.
📈 Greene’s Trades Fully Legal—But Democrats Smell Blood
Greene reported buying a range of tech and consumer stocks on April 3 and 4, including Apple, Dell, and Lululemon—some of which had dipped sharply due to initial market panic.
All trades were between $1,001 and $15,000, well within the rules and transparently disclosed, unlike many lawmakers from both parties who routinely delay reporting.
Despite this, Greene remains the only member of Congress to report post-announcement trades so far—leading many to wonder: Is this really about ethics? Or is it about targeting Trump’s allies?
⚠️ Democrats Ramp Up Attacks on Trump, Musk, and Conservatives
Casar wasn’t alone. Rep. Adam Schiff and other House Democrats vowed to investigate Trump’s administration for so-called “market manipulation,” linking the tariffs to broader accusations of Republican “corruption.”
Casar unleashed a laundry list of talking points: “Elon Musk, tax cuts, tariffs—everything Trump does is to make his billionaire friends richer,” he said.
But these accusations fall flat with many Americans—especially working families and retirees—who benefited directly from Trump’s tax cuts and strong economic leadership.
🌐 Trump’s America-First Trade Policy: 75 Countries Seeking Deals
The Trump administration confirmed that 75 nations have already contacted U.S. officials during the 90-day pause window, seeking new trade terms. But not every country gets a free pass—China remains excluded, with a tough 145% tariff still set to take effect on Chinese imports.
This is Trump at his best: negotiating from strength, standing up for American workers, and refusing to bow to foreign pressure.
