REFORM: Trump Posts Support for Rep. Luna’s Stock Trading Ban.

On Monday, Trump shared a short video showing the Republican describing the need for quick action on the ban and called the idea a “MASSIVE WIN!”

Luna has proposed a workaround to advance the ban, which has been left on a slow walk by House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La. Her plan calls for the use of a discharge petition that could force the House to vote on the stock purchase ban.

Trump’s post was supportive of “using a procedural loophole to force a vote.”

Politico reported that Johnson and other Republican leaders have worked hard in recent weeks to water down support for Luna’s plan. Johnson has reportedly lobbied in private that many members of Congress found it necessary to buy and sell stocks to make ends meet, including covering tuition expenses for their children.

My plan is simpler: Any returns congresscritters make in excess of the 7% individual investors hope to earn, tax at 100%.

Paying taxes is patriotic, I’m told.
