World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

He's probably having his stock broker sell off a bunch of stuff, announcing tariffs, then buying back. His stock transactions should be public record while president.
He shouldn’t even be allowed to own any stocks as president
Prior presidents had their assets placed in blind trusts, and they didn't know where they were invested. They didn't even know how wealthy they were until they left office.
Thank you! It's ridiculous how much even people opposed to Trump have allowed him to frame the debate.
Fucker should've been impeached and removed on Inauguration Day -- 2017, let alone 2025 -- for Emoluments Clause violations alone.
Holding public office is supposed to be an act of service. All federal and probably all state politicians and their staff should not be allowed to own any individual stocks or companies, including any mutual funds without diverse holdings. And the right people to lead would be glad to do it and to transparently demonstrate their compliance.
But nope. The system is designed to attract and reward scumbags. Mainstream society tells us that loathsome narcissistic sociopaths who happen to accumulate a large net worth are the pinnacle of human existence and we should be thanking them for dragging us out of the dark ages.
This should go for Trump and all the other oligarchs.
This should go for all citizens, if you trade then it should be public record. We should be able to see everyone's stock history in case they ever run for office we can look at their trading history to look for conflicts of interest.
That's a stretch. Normal citizens buying some nominal amount of shares of Company XYZ 5 years ago doesn't mean there's a conflict of interest now, especially if they were sold just as long ago. For if someone might run for office? 99.5% of people won't.
It's just undue surveillance on normal people.
Confirmed already; $1-5M lunch buy-ins with corporate execs per head - the topic? Tariff exemptions.
Who cares about billions and trillions of wealth destruction of the public coffers when he can make millions per day personally?
I think that it may be.

That being said, my guess is that there are probably trivial ways to game the transparency portion of the bill. Like, if I own a business, and the business holds stock rather than myself directly, I'll bet that no disclosure is required. And I bet that if you have a spouse or kids doing transactions, no disclosure is required.
Could still get in trouble for insider trading if it could be proven that you were doing so.

From Trump's first term:

Haven't been following the issue since then.
Don't worry it was completely ignored. Laws are just mild suggestions for the rich.
