'Why Trump's stock trades are so exceptionally corrupt'
(MS NOW) "Donald Trump is the most corrupt president in American history."
"Just this week, we found out that in the first quarter of the year, Trump made more than 3,700 financial trades, worth tens of millions of dollars. That averages out to 59 trades a day and nine trades per hour."
"The conflicts of interest and personal corruption are simply astonishing. Many of the companies do business with the federal government. In fact, Trump allegedly bought stock in Amazon and Microsoft months before the Pentagon announced agreements with both companies."
"Earlier this year, Trump bought a sizable amount of Nvidia stock right before the artificial intelligence chipmaker received permission to export its advanced H200 AI processors to China. Not surprisingly, Nvidias stock shot up, earning Trump a tidy profit."

the U.S. Military in Iran using one or more of their A.I. programs?
The president also purchased hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of Palantir stock before he promoted the company in a Truth Social post, writing, Palantir Technologies has proven to have great war fighting capabilities and equipment.
