This was surprising to see from AOC.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — As President Donald Trump’s America-First policies once again deliver results for the U.S. economy, far-left Democrats are ramping up distractions. This time, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is targeting members of Congress with vague allegations of insider trading — all while the stock market soars on the strength of Trump’s latest trade decision.
Trump’s Smart Tariff Strategy Boosts Investor Confidence
President Trump announced a temporary 90-day pause on certain import tariffs, excluding China, in a strategic move to ease inflation pressure while keeping America’s negotiating leverage intact. The results were immediate: the S&P 500 surged by 9.5%, and Nasdaq trading activity spiked.
This economic uptick once again proves that Trump’s pro-business leadership fuels market confidence and strengthens retirement savings for millions of hardworking Americans.
AOC Sounds Off on “Chatter” — But Offers No Proof
Instead of applauding a win for the economy, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez took to social media to suggest her colleagues may have acted on inside information.
“Any member of Congress who purchased stocks in the last 48 hours should probably disclose that now,” she posted on X.
She then claimed she had heard “chatter” on the House floor and hinted that something would come to light by the May 15th disclosure deadline — all while offering no names, no evidence, and no accountability.
Democrats Push Baseless Accusations Against Trump and His Team
Meanwhile, Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) sent a formal letter to the White House demanding an investigation into whether President Trump or members of his team may have benefited financially from the tariff decision.
Their concern? A post on Trump’s Truth Social that read, “THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!! DJT.” The post came a few hours before his official announcement.
Conservative analysts say the real motive is clear: Democrats are scrambling to deflect attention from Trump’s economic success by manufacturing controversy.
Congressional Stock Trades Are Already Regulated
While AOC repeatedly slams lawmakers for stock trading, it’s worth noting that Congress is already bound by the STOCK Act, signed into law in 2012, which requires stock trades to be disclosed within 45 days. President Trump has voiced support for increased transparency and has never been found in violation of this rule.
Despite this, AOC co-sponsored a bill in 2023 to ban members of Congress from owning individual stocks — a move that critics say is more virtue signaling than serious policy.
AOC’s Real Agenda: Class Warfare and Division
During a past appearance on “The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart,” AOC claimed that Republicans “are here to serve the billionaire class,” even suggesting they’re more “honest” than Democrats.
That’s rich coming from a congresswoman who’s made headlines for wearing designer dresses while preaching socialism.
At the end of the day, President Trump remains focused on delivering real results — from securing America’s economy to keeping foreign adversaries in check. Americans deserve facts, not politically motivated distractions.
Bottom Line: The stock market doesn’t lie — and neither does your 401(k). While AOC and the left push baseless theories, Trump’s policies continue to deliver for America’s retirees, investors, and working families.
