The president doesn't sit at the Oval Office on his computer on his like Robin Hood account buying and selling stocks. That's absurd. He has independent wealth advisors who manage his money. He is a wealthy person. He has had success in business. He's not making these [00:00:15] stock trades himself. Yeah, Trump does have other people who do his trading for them and we could have had a system where they couldn't communicate by law. It would be a blind trust. Remember? Vance, wanted to do that. Trump didn't wanna do that. Why was it so important to him [00:00:33] that he not do that? And why is it that his independent, even though there's nothing making it independent, he could talk on the phone for eight hours a day if he wanted to with his wealth managers or whatever. How is it that they seem to always buy and sell stocks at the exact time that Donald Trump's little announcements and tweets and business deals with China. benefit [00:00:54] those very corporations. It's interesting, there must be some sort of psychic link between Donald Trump and his independent wealth manager and all that. But Vance is trying to keep it together right there, having to apologize for the exact sort of massive corruption that he at one point as a Senate candidate spoke out against. But he is actually going to be set [00:01:12] off by a question, take a look. Americans, according to recent polling, increasingly describing the president as corrupt. And Trading stocks- This is a hell of a question. Thank you, sir. Trading individual stocks is something that you said that public officials [00:01:31] should not be able to do when you ran for Senate all those years ago. And yet the President, who arguably has access to more non-public information than your average Senator, is not only buying and selling individual stocks either through his trust. How can you and your administration [00:01:57] argue to Americans that you're cleaning up corruption, you're preventing fraud, you're fighting the sorts of things that harm people and people's financial situations, when the president seems to be talking up stocks that he owns, selling them and enriching himself? [00:02:14] Okay, so here, let me answer your question here. That was a doozy. Yeah, it was a doozy because it's true and it's accurate. And it seems really goddamn ridiculous that you're grinning the whole time. When he points out you used to specifically say no public officials should [00:02:33] be trading individual stocks and his advances responses. Yeah, I know I like said that but but now I like my job. I want to like his I can't say not to do that because then he'll get rid of me and I don't get to be president. You do this like you think because I held [00:02:52] a position. What do you think is on my back, a spine? A doozy. Yeah, it was a long question. Could have been briefer, kind of important. Donald Trump has done thousands of stock trades, it's transparent corruption. So JD Vance is eventually going to answer the question kind [00:03:11] of, but he is far more interested in berating the press for daring to express how corrupt the American people think that Donald Trump is. Take a look. There are different ways to ask a question. Okay, you could just ask a question and try to get your answer. Or you could do like a speech where you say, know, Mr. Vice President, you're a terrible human being and [00:03:33] so is the President, so is the entire cabinet. And then I'm like, what's your question? And then your question is how dare you? Come on, man. Have a little bit of objectivity in the way that you ask these questions because there were a lot of things in that speech masquerading as a question that didn't actually get asked, okay? Number one. The president doesn't sit [00:03:52] at the Oval Office on his computer on his like Robin Hood account buying and selling stocks. That's absurd. He has independent wealth advisors who manage his money. He is a wealthy person. He has had success in business. He's not making these stock trades himself. And your question [00:04:08] imputes that. sort of, doesn't say it exactly, but a reasonable person listening to that question would assume the president is sitting around and doing that. He's not. Second of all. You're right. I'm a big fan of banning members of Congress from trading stocks. So is the President of the United States. Yeah, so that's ironic. Let's uh check the claim [00:04:29] actually that Donald Trump wants to ban the trading of stocks. What's interesting is that there is a grain of truth kind of like JD Vance was attacking the media for. Yeah, no, Donald Trump is fine with banning members of Congress from trading stocks. Donald Trump is not a fan of banning Donald Trump from trading stocks. Do you see JD Vance, kind of the difference [00:04:50] between those two things? Him having a standard for a different person and a standard for himself. Hey, he's actually doubled his standards there. Isn't that interesting? Isn't that noteworthy? By the way, your big whiny thing of, he's not doing it on his own Robin Hood account, [00:05:05] has a different person do it. So let's be clear. When you were campaigning for Senate and you were posturing as a person, it was gonna come in and clear out the corruption and you were implying elected officials are getting away with corrupt acts by trading stocks. All you [00:05:21] were asking for was that they have a broker. You're pretending that you would have been satisfied if they didn't do the stock themselves. I have a guy. That's all you were asking for. This is the tiniest little impotent baby boy, JD Vance. You have no spine, you have no balls. [00:05:41] You used to posture as if you were anti-corrupt. Now you are the errand boy for the most corrupt president in American history. That's why you're squirming so much. That's why you're so uncomfortable. Not because this question was too long, but because you look absolutely goddamn ridiculous [00:05:56] and you're worried about it dragging you down when you try to run for president. And let's be clear, I don't care if he's doing his own trading on Robin Hood or whatever. He did at least $220 million in Q1 in trades. in some of the companies that had the most government [00:06:14] business before them. Netflix, obviously their massive merger conversations, Comcast and Warner Brothers and Paramount, all of those. That isn't just going on around Donald Trump. He is calling the shots on whether they can do these mergers. Who ends up winning? He's buying the stocks [00:06:31] right there. By the way, in Q1 of this year, He traded more stocks than Congress did in 2025. That is the scale, the monumental Titanic scale of the corruption. And JD Vance is like, [00:06:48] he didn't press the button on fidelity. That is not what the American people are concerned about. And you can brush aside the polls, we see them as corrupt, and we see you defending them. And the same way that you defend the cover up into the sex trafficking, you're defending the corruption. Sharon, I apologize, what do you think? No, you keep going and let's not [00:07:07] forget that Donald Trump doesn't need a guy to then talk about Dell after he's made trades and done a lot of things with Dell and these other companies. Because you don't need to be an investigative journalist to see what he's up to on truth social and wherever else he blabs or wherever else he speaks to try to manipulate things. JD Vance made me physically ill. I [00:07:29] don't know why I did this to myself, but I watched it live. And you had reporters like Jonathan Karl asking valid questions. But about 60 % of the room now is filled with podcasters asking ridiculous questions about why Pete Davidson was joking about Charlie Kirk's death. That [00:07:47] Kevin Hart's roast and reading off of their stupid little iPhones. And he was acting like a rock star trying to. charm everyone because he thinks he's the smartest guy in the room with his Ivy League education. And right now, maybe we can't touch him and maybe we can't [00:08:04] touch Trump, but it's a warning. I felt like I was watching the devil himself in some custom suit there, just kind of manipulating things like a conductor. It's sickening. Yeah, this is a crazy thing to say. But I kinda hate him even more than- Trump for some reason? I don't [00:08:24] know, like that's wrong. I don't actually mean that. But does anyone else kind of feel like that there's almost something more disgusting about JD Vance? I don't know, like in a country where we've been plagued by all of these pathetic little men rushing, lining up, climbing over [00:08:42] each other to suckle at Donald Trump. JD Vance is the chief sucker. And that's maybe the thing that just like as an actual man. It just... It just gives me like cosmic level itch.
