MTG scooped up plummeting stocks during market chaos sparked by Trump tariffs

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/marjorie-taylor-greene-stocks-market-chaos-b2731742.html

The Georgia congresswoman not only bought stocks last week, but also took on some of the markets’ biggest losers

Republican firebrand and Trump acolyte Marjorie Taylor Greene scooped up a number of plummeting stocks following the market chaos caused by the president’s global tariffs.

The Georgia congresswoman, an avid supporter of the Trump administration's trade policies, not only bought stocks last week, but also took on some of the biggest losers when markets tumbled over President Trump’s tariff war.

On Wednesday morning, the president posted on his social media site truth Social: “NOW IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!”

Greene, it appears, listened to the advice.

The congresswoman bought stock in big brands like Lululemon, Dell Computer, Amazon, and the parent of Restoration Hardware after they dropped by around 40 percent on average late last week.

Data from a required three-page financial holdings document, seen by The Associated Press, doesn't disclose exactly how much she paid for the stocks, only ranges and dates. As of Wednesday’s market close, some of her investments were already beginning to pay off.


I hope she gets consequences for this. Remember Martha Stewart serving prison time?

Question is did she know he would say this, and when did she buy? As if anyone's enforcing anything at all.
