Donald Trump posted an AI-created image showing him conducting stock trades inside the Oval Office and claimed he does it for the country.
On Truth Social, Donald Trump uploaded a computer-generated photo that depicts him buying and selling securities from the presidential desk. In his caption, he said the activity benefits the United States, not himself, and dismissed criticism from Democrats. Some members of the Democratic Party have responded by saying any future ban on personal stock trading for Congress should also cover the president and vice president.
