    Bloomberg reports Trump out-trades entire Congress

    Bloomberg's graphics desk publishes an analysis showing President Trump has traded more securities than every member of Congress combined since returning to office, while simultaneously pushing a ban on congressional stock trading that would exclude him.

    “President Donald Trump has traded more securities than every member of Congress combined since he returned to office — even as he seeks to pass a stock-purchasing ban for lawmakers that would exclude him from any restrictions.”
