Trump's 28,700 Trades and the HONEST Act: What the Filings Show

Donald Trump just made 1.86 billion dollars in stock trades this year while your grocery bill doubled, your rent went up, and your paycheck bought less every single month. So, Bloomberg went through his own paperwork and counted 28,700 trades in 17 months. It's more than every single member of Congress combined. That's 80 trades a day out of the Oval Office while you were being told to tighten your belt. But, here's the sick part, right?

The same man who's begging Congress to ban stock trading wrote himself out of his own bill. And when Senator Josh Hawley tried to write him back in, Trump called Hawley a second-tier senator on the Truth Social and killed the amendment in the same afternoon. So, the bill Trump's been pushing bans Congress, but it doesn't ban him. And the stock market you've been told to trust with your retirement is being front-run every single morning by the guy who signs the trade deals that move the price. And when political journalist John Hillman sat on Morning Joe and did the math on what this really means, well, here's the prediction he made live TV.

I've rarely been as confident in a prediction as I am.

So, stick with me all the way through this video because by the end of it you'll see the receipts Bloomberg pulled from his own filings, why the smart money never trusted the stock market to protect the wealth in the first place, and what you need to be doing with your crypto right now so you stop being the exit liquidity for a game that was rigged before you even sat at the table.

Right bull runners, welcome back to the channel. So, let me lay out exactly what Bloomberg's just found because this is the kind of story that once you've seen the receipts, you can't unsee. They pulled the president's own financial disclosures, the ones filed with the Office of Government Ethics. And these aren't leaks, and they aren't rumors either. They're the official forms his own team filed with the federal government.

So, from the 20th of January 2025, the day he was inaugurated, right through to the end of June 2026, the president's account logged roughly 28,700 trades. Now, every member of Congress combined over that same window logged roughly 22, 200. And that's the entire house and the entire Senate, 535 elected officials all moving stocks together, and one president's portfolio out-traded the lot of them by about 6,500 transactions. So, that's almost 30% more from one man's accounts than every other senator and representative in the country put together. And Bloomberg broke it down to about 80 trades every single market day.

In July alone, the filings show 1,156 trades worth up to 270 million dollars, which is about one trade every 7 and 1/2 minutes the market was open. And every one of those trades sits inside eight different accounts with up to 1.86 billion dollars in total activity in 2025. So, watch this.

Come on now. This isn't some crypto conspiracy channel telling you the story. This is Morning Joe on MSNBC. So, that's mainstream cable and mainstream audience doing the math live on air, stopping cold when the number came out.

It works out to nearly 60 stock trades a day, every day since he has taken office.

Now, that's crazy, right? So, Joe Scarborough has just admitted on cable telly that he can't process the number. And that reaction matters because the White House already has an answer ready for you. They put out a statement saying the president doesn't sit at his desk pulling up Robinhood and clicking buy. So, his portfolio, managed by third-party firms with sole authority over the trades.

So, nobody's directing anything. It's all automated. So, move along, they say. Watch what happens the second you look at the timing of these trades against the contracts his administration was signing. Now, the president's been publicly demanding that Congress ban stock trading based on private knowledge.

And the bill his party's moving through the House of the Senate right now is called the Honest Act. Bans members of Congress and their spouses and their kids from buying individual stocks. So, it sounds good on paper, but there's just one small problem, isn't there? The bill as it's written doesn't cover the one man calling for it to pass without delay. It covers everyone in Congress, but it doesn't cover the Oval Office.

And Senator Josh Hawley, the guy who actually wrote the original bill, went on CNBC and named the target on live TV. So, listen to what he had to say.

Nancy Pelosi is the poster child for this. I mean, she beat almost every hedge fund in the nation in 2024.

So, Hawley's just named Pelosi on cable news, but Trump ran 28,700 trades, and he gets to walk. And this fight isn't new, either, right? Yahoo Finance has been covering the same file ban attempts year after year. So, Congress keeps introducing this bill, and Congress keeps killing this bill. Even Biden tried to endorse it on his way out the door, and it went nowhere.

Here's Yahoo Finance's Ben Werschkul laying out the pattern.

There's a bill in the House that has 79 co-sponsors that gets reintroduced every year and kind of never quite makes it to the finish line.

That's the whole game, right there. So, the bill fails every single year because the people voting on it are the people it would restrict. And now, here's where it gets really loud. When Hawley tried to close the loophole and write the president into the same restriction, Trump attacked him on Truth Social and called him a second-tier senator in public. So, on the same day, Republican Senator Rick Scott filed an amendment inside Homeland Security Committee to exempt the President and Vice President from the bill entirely.

And here's what Scott said on camera to defend that exemption. Listen to this.

This is an attack against the President. Attack against the Vice President. That's all That's what this is.

You feel that? So, a sitting senator called banning the President from inside a stock trade an attack. And Scott's amendment was defeated the same afternoon. So, on paper, the bill still touches the White House, but in practice, it doesn't kick in till Trump leaves office. So, whatever's happening in those eight accounts right now, well, it keeps happening for the next 3 years untouched.

And every big number this President posts about the economy, every trade deal, every tariff announcement, every friendly word about Nvidia or Apple or Oracle, every strike on Boeing or Palantir, it all moves the stocks his own accounts have been trading. And that's not a conspiracy. That's Bloomberg's own line-by-line breakdown. So, 10 days ago, the filings dropped, and since then, Bloomberg's published receipts every single week. On the 16th of June, his portfolio bought up to $500,000 in Boeing stock, the same day Boeing landed on an $880 million federal contract.

On the 23rd of June, it was up to $50,000 in SpaceX, the same day SpaceX landed government. And on the 24th, up to $250,000 in Palantir, the same day Palantir landed $45 million. So, that's three trades in 9 days, sitting on top of nearly a billion dollars of federal contract flow, and all going to companies his own administration signed the checks to. Now, listen to me carefully. I'm not sitting here telling you the President's guilty of anything a court's going to prove.

I'm not a lawyer, but you already know how this looks to a normal person sitting at home. You know what it feels like when you show up to work every day, you clock in, you clock out, you watch your paycheck buy less every year, and then you find out the guy signing the executive orders is running 80 trades a day out of an account moving nearly $2 billion while yours make zero. So, here's what nobody's telling you though. This isn't new. The stock market's never been the place regular people build wealth.

It's a place regular people fund the wealth of the people who already have it. And that includes Nancy Pelosi. It includes every other congressional trader on the list Hawley named the bill after. And now on record, it includes the president himself. So, this is what the stock market's always been.

And now the mask just fallen off in public on the front page of Bloomberg in the president's own paperwork. So, the question every one of you watching this video should be asking isn't how do I get on the trade before he tweets about it because you can't. You're not in the room, and you're never going to be in the room. So, the question is this, right? How do I hold my money in a system where somebody in Washington can't front run me every single morning.

And that's where crypto stops being a bet on a price and starts being an escape hatch because when you hold Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana, hype, you name it in your own self-custody wallet, nobody in Washington gets to see your positions before they move the market. Nobody at Goldman gets to sell to you 3 minutes before the tariff announcement. And nobody at BlackRock front runs the flow because there's no front to run. It's your key, your wallet, your ledger. And that's a part the Honest Act doesn't touch either, by the way.

It bans stock trading, but it doesn't ban crypto because the whole architecture of crypto system was built to sit outside the same pyramid this bill's trying to plaster over. So, the smart money's doing this right now. While retail's arguing about whether the trades are automated or personal, they're moving positions off exchanges that can freeze accounts, moving into self-custody, and setting up yield on the crypto they already hold through decentralized protocols a president can't tweet a stock price into. And they're doing all of this while the rest of retail's still watching CNBC and wondering if this cycle is dead. And you already know what your bag's been doing.

It's been chopping sideways for months while the wallets on the other side of your trade have been quietly moving billions. So, Wall Street front runs the stock market, and the retail investor holding one asset in one exchange finds out about the move 3 weeks later on the news. So, look, this isn't about the president being good or bad, and it isn't about which party you vote for. It's about a system that was rigged before you were born, and now the receipts are on Bloomberg's website, and you get to decide whether you keep playing that game or walk out and build something the pyramid can't touch. So, Hawley's bill probably passes, and the president stays exempt, and Congress stops trading on paper while the rest of the pyramid keeps running.

That's the honest read. But, the way you win from here isn't by getting a seat inside their game. It's by building a system outside of it. So, look, you didn't need Bloomberg to tell you the game's rigged, did you? You've watched it your whole life.

Every time a big move gets announced, you find out 3 weeks later on the news, and then the trade's already happened. So, you're tired of being the last one in the room. You know, I get it. I've been that guy, too, and I'm not going to insult you by pretending it does not sting when you see 80 trades a day come out of one man's account while your portfolio has just been chopping sideways for a year. So, let me tell you about one of our members who did exactly what I'm asking you to consider right now.

His name is Gary, and he was one of the people who stopped waiting for the stock market to save him and he went and built an actual position outside of it. So, Gary plugged into our education. He moved into DeFi through the Accelerators framework and he wrote in to tell us that DeFi has been the least stressful and most successful part of his portfolio with his XRP position averaging around 72 cents and running up around 218% and in his own words the education opened up a lot of avenues towards financial freedom and that's documented in his own words on his own trust review. Now, results aren't typical so don't be typical. So, inside the accelerator right now you've got operators who come from Wall Street, retired guys who are predicting what they building, people who found crypto 3 months ago and are trying to do this right the first time.

So, so the room has weekly calls with the research team, one-on-one coaching and a group chat where the conversation is the actual signal not somebody's screenshots. So, the first link in the description takes you to a 15-minute call with our team and on that call we will actually walk you through your portfolio and tell you honestly if the accelerator is the right move for where you're at right now and if you're already positioned to survive whatever the cycle throws at us, we will tell you that too. But, you don't find out by sitting on the sidelines watching the guy in the Oval Office print himself rich off your labor. You find out by booking the call. Now, crypto carries risk and past performance doesn't guarantee future results.

This is education not financial advice. And look, I'll see you on the next video. I'll see you at the top. As always, you know what to do. Stay bullish.
