Disclosures published by the US Office of Government Ethics last week revealed that Trump, in the first quarter of 2026, carried out over 3,700 stock transactions, including over 30 stock purchases worth $1 million or more.
As noted by The Financial Times, Trump's investments included transactions involving Tesla, Nvidia, Apple, Meta, Visa, Citi, Boeing, Qualcomm, and GE Aerospace, whose executives all accompanied the president on his trip to China last week.
When CNBC co-host Carl Quintanilla brought up these trades during Monday's edition of "Squawk on the Street," Cramer spent 10 straight seconds mumbling incoherently.

More massive corruption from the rotting orange chomo.

The Orange Chomo needs to be impeached over this.

Nowhere in the the job description of President is "starting a $50 billion dollar war to trade 3700 times in a brokerage account".

"Drain the swamp" is magat slang for "---- you I will do whatever I want".

And good-for-nothing Eric Trumpf threatened to sue MS Now and Jen Psaki over her reporting on his underhanded business deals and trip to China: "I'm just a loving son who adores my father.'

"WHERE THE HELL IS OUR CONGRESS?

Welcome back to Eat Your Stress. We're joined now by emotional support Congressman, [music] House Democratic Leader Hakeim Jeff.

Good morning. Great to be back.

Uhhuh. Sir, people are tired. With another endless war costing billions while Americans turn tricks for gas and groceries, recent polling suggests that

I have 100% had it with this [ __ ] There's a reason why this president is deeply unpopular.

Cuz he's a fugly [ __ ] His policies, including the one big ugly bill, and this war of choice in the Middle East. Well, without jumping to extremes, isn't there something constitutionally Congress could do now to remove him?

Impeachment, prison, sedatives, and a giant butterfly net?"
