  • Trump's Legal Insider Trading

    From Joseph Pereira to All on Tue Mar 10 08:25:45 2026

    The Trump family appears to have bought bonds from Netflix and Warner Bros. when these companies were bidding heavily for Paramount.

    Trump's sons made the transactions.

    This is legal, because the Trumps are literally above the law.

    As long as the president doesn't give the order himself, it's allowed.

    These trades ranged from several hundred thousand dollars to $2.1 million.

    It's unclear whether they actually made a profit on their shady deals.

    It does appear that the trades were made in consultation with Trump, because he put Netflix under significant pressure, after which the bonds fell and the position was taken. When Netflix abandoned the takeover attempt, the bonds increased in value.
