MTG who came to Washington with $700k in her bank account and is now worth $21 million appears to have used Trumps manipulation of the stock market to enrich herself.
Evidently, one of Trump’s closest allies on Capitol Hill also thought it was a good time to buy. The New York Times reported:
In the other chamber, meanwhile, the morning after Trump’s move, Democratic Sens. Adam Schiff of California and Ruben Gallego of Arizona wrote to the Office of Government Ethics demanding an investigation into possible market manipulation. A day later, an even larger group of Senate Democrats appealed to the Securities and Exchange Commission, calling on the agency to launch an investigation into “potential violations of federal securities laws by President Trump and his affiliates.”

Evidently, one of Trump’s closest allies on Capitol Hill also thought it was a good time to buy. The New York Times reported:
“We saw Majorie Taylor Greene buy that dip,” the New York Democrat said. “How much did you make? How much did you make off of people’s despair? How much did you make off of that panic? How much did you make off of that suffering? No more. We can’t accept it.”Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, Republican of Georgia, disclosed on Monday that she had purchased between tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of stock on April 8 and 9, the day before and the day of President Trump’s announcement that he was pausing a sweeping set of global tariffs, a pivot that sent the stock market soaring out of a sizable slump. Ms. Greene bought between about $21,000 and $315,000 in stocks on those days. The day before Mr. Trump’s move, she also dumped between $50,000 and $100,0000 in Treasury bills, according to required public disclosures made to the House.

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s well-timed stock purchases draw scrutiny
Before pausing much of his tariffs agenda, Donald Trump wrote online, “THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!”
