Why isn't he being investigated for how much his stock have gone up?

While Democrats obstruct & tear shit down, realDonaldTrump acts and never lets YOU down! ✅Payroll tax holiday ✅Student loan relief ✅Moratorium on evictions ✅$400/week in unemployment benefits Now Chuck & Nancy might sue to stop you from getting relief? Have at it, losers!

🤔GEICO

Someone page BernieSanders

How has his stock compared to Dow( about even), NASDAQ (way down) and S&P (too lazy to look but I imagine down)

As always the Rich get richer The Poor get poorer Having laid off 30% of it's work force How much of a pinch did Buffet feel do you think

And again, stock prices/earnings have fuck all to do with the economic recovery of the average citizen THAT DOESN’T OWN STOCK.

And he should be using the wealth to bring down the corrupt government's, world leaders, religious leaders, systems, laws, abusive cultural practices and social norms if he wants to make a positive difference

Thought Warren was in GITMO

iamhassaan we should’ve invested when it was 295K lol
