Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was angry and lashing out.
Ocasio-Cortez picked on her favorite target – President Trump.
And Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wants Trump charged with this terrible crime.
Democrats and the media lost their talking point that Trump threatened to plunge the world into a great depression through his reciprocal tariffs.
President Trump announced a 90-day pause on tariffs on every country except Communist China – which now faces 145% levies – which provided a runway for other countries to renegotiate trade deals that will balance the playing field, eliminate unfair trade practices and benefit American workers.
The stock market shot up over 2,900 points on Trump’s announcement.
Prior to President Trump pausing the tariffs, Trump tried to calm the nerves of Americans panicking over the market previously losing $6 trillion in wealth as investors sweated the imposition of tariffs.
“BE COOL! Everything is going to work out well. The USA will be bigger and better than ever before!” Trump posted on Truth Social, also writing that “THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!! DJT.”
Ocasio-Cortez claimed, despite offering no proof, that Trump and the Republicans colluded on an insider trading scheme to enrich themselves based on Trump pressing pause on the tariffs.
“If people are pissed about insider trading here at the House, look at what’s happening at the White House right now and with the Republican Party,” Ocasio-Cortez told Spectrum News’ Washington correspondent Kevin Frey.
Frey’s next question wasn’t demanding Ocasio-Cortez provide evidence to back up her claim.
Instead, Frey offered Ocasio-Cortez a platform to expand on her conspiracy theory.
“Do you think he knew what he was doing when he sent out that message about stocks before he made the announcement?” Frey wondered.
Ocasio-Cortez didn’t miss a beat before spouting off more fact-free allegations that President Trump masterminded an insider trading scheme.
“It sure seemed like he did. I don’t think that it was a coincidence. I don’t think that Trump just coincidentally said ‘buy stocks’ and then shortly later made an announcement that dramatically inflated and dramatically raised a lot of these asset prices,” Ocasio-Cortez ranted.
Ocasio-Cortez even cited unnamed members of Congress who supposedly bragged about how they all knew they would make a killing on the market based on Trump’s upcoming tariff pause.
“And, you know, I’ve heard murmurings on the floor that there may have been people that knew that this was coming. And I’m very interested in seeing some of the stock disclosures that come out, when those reports are due. And I’m very interested in what members of Congress have been buying and trading stocks in the last 24 hours prior to this tariff announcement,” Ocasio-Cortez raged.
Ocasio-Cortez claimed the upcoming financial disclosure deadline will show who profited from Trump’s announcement.
“We’re about to learn a few things,” Ocasio-Cortez stated.
The media accepts every Democrat allegation as fact and publishes it as so.
And if financial disclosure forms don’t show any Republicans making a killing on the stock market on the day of Trump’s tariff pause, the press won’t hold Ocasio-Cortez accountable or report that she slandered Trump and Congressional Republicans with unfounded accusations of potentially criminal behavior.
