US President Donald Trump under scrutiny for massive stock trades and SAVE election‑law push
President Donald Trump has logged more than 21,000 securities transactions in a single year, a volume the analysis notes far exceeds that of any recent U.S. president. The trades, spread across a portfolio that includes crypto, real estate, gold and major tech stocks, often coincided with days when Trump announced policy moves, prompting questions about the timing and possible insider advantage.
At the same time, Trump is urging Congress to pass the SAVE Act, which would require voters to present documentary proof of U.S. citizenship and a photo ID to register and vote in federal elections. Critics warn the measure could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters lacking easy access to passports or birth certificates, while supporters say it would guard against illegal voting.
In a recent televised speech, Trump claimed that China had interfered in the 2020 election and warned of a massive data breach, statements that drew sharp rebuke from fellow Republicans who called the allegations “absurd.” The speech also highlighted the political tussle over the SAVE Act as the midterm elections approach.
