Donald Trump outpaces Congress in stock trading volume while advocating for a trading ban

A Bloomberg review reveals that Donald Trump executed approximately 28,700 stock trades over 17 months, exceeding the combined 22,200 trades made by all members of Congress during the same period. Despite his public support for a congressional stock trading ban, the proposed legislation does not apply to the president. The White House maintains that Trump's holdings are managed by external firms through index-tracking models without his direct involvement, though critics point to potential conflicts of interest.
