    I know all that. It’s still a fun form of humor I like to use.

    To think that it would be ethically OK for your adult children to make trades on your behalf while you are making daily decisions or announcements materially affecting those companies is ridiculous. But it’s even more ridiculous to think that Trump isn’t calling the shots himself and purposefully and shamelessly making those announcements and decisions to enrich himself.

      At least he doesn’t even attempt to appear legal or ethical. The open manipulation of the market doesn’t leave much room for argument. Did you know you can pay for early access to his trades?
