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.
