Hugo Lowell on Trump’s Earnings: I Think It’s Setting Off Alarm Bells in Wash. Because of the Large Amounts of Money

RUSH EXCERPT:
LOWELL: "That’s rivaling the GDP of over of a small nation. And I think, you know, a lot of this is, is clever political messaging on, on the president’s part, which is why he’s been able to evade some scrutiny, at least on a superficial level, because if you’re the White House, you’re going to go out and say, look, the president is not individually making these stock trades. You know, he it’s all managed by a trust. It’s been done by the Trump organization, even though that may be true. That’s really a straw man argument in, in a in a big sense, because, you know, for instance, in may 2026, Trump says, go buy dell. Dell is a fantastic company, fantastic product. Dell stock price shoots up even if Trump is not himself. Day trading dell stocks in in the markets on his little brokerage account. He does have brokers and a sophisticated broker will have put some of his money in, let’s say, an etf that tracks the stock price of that is like a basket of different companies. And Trump must know. I mean, it would just be ridiculous to suggest otherwise that him coming out and and saying that, you know, a certain company is great, we should go buy dell and try to boost the stock would not also have reverberating benefits for his own position."
