MTG scooped up plummeting stocks during market chaos sparked by Trump tariffs

The Independent (UK), April 11, 2025

Republican firebrand and Trump acolyte Marjorie Taylor Greene scooped up a number of plummeting stocks following the market chaos caused by the president’s global tariffs.

The Georgia congresswoman, an avid supporter of the Trump administration's trade policies, not only bought stocks last week, but also took on some of the biggest losers when markets tumbled over President Trump’s tariff war.

On Wednesday morning, the president posted on his social media site truth Social: “NOW IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!”

Greene, it appears, listened to the advice.

The congresswoman bought stock in big brands like Lululemon, Dell Computer, Amazon, and the parent of Restoration Hardware after they dropped by around 40 percent on average late last week.

Anyone else remember when inside trading was against the law?

1. Bet Martha does.

Lordy, MTG is ugly inside and out.

2. My mistake! I grabbed the wrong pic.

She's monstrously worse here, hounding school shooting survivor David Hogg:

6. She's lucky he didn't turn around and flatten her

And it wouldn't have been hard for a decent attorney to prove Ms. Greene's speech rose to the definition of fighting words.

3. What's that I hear? "LOCK HER UP!"

4. That is music.

From MSN:

And as the market bounced back on Donald Trump's pause on tariffs, she was one of the major gainers, triggering accusations of insider trading. Greene said all her investments are reported with full transparency.“I have signed a fiduciary agreement to allow my financial advisor to control my investments,” Greene said in a statement to the Associated Press when asked whether she made the stock buys herself. “All of my investments are reported with full transparency.”

Bet she whispered instructions in her financial advisor's ear.

5. She's the one who says federal employees are worthless.

Because they don't generate revenue.

While she steals money from everyone's retirement IRAs.

7. Don't think there's any love lost

Between Adam Schiff and MTG. I reckon she'll become swept up in Schiff's investigation into who's profiting from the market swings.

Is Donald Trump's inner circle illegally profiting off of these huge swings in the stock market? We must find out.

8. Daily Kos: Marjorie Taylor Greene made some shady stock trades before tariff flip-flop

Hours before announcing his decision Wednesday to lower tariffs on nearly every country in the world for 90 days, President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social urging people to buy stocks.

"THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!" he wrote, signing it with his initials.

At least one GOP lawmaker took his advice: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, who worships at the feet of Dear Leader.

According to Capitol Trades, which tracks congressional stock trading, Greene purchased a handful of retail stocks that had taken major hits following Trump's “Liberation Day” tariffs, including Amazon, Apple, Lululemon, Nike, and Restoration Hardware. All of those retailers rely heavily on trade with China and other Asian countries, on which Trump has placed severe tariffs.
