Trump Says He’d Sign Bill to Ban Congressional Stock Trades
In a newly published interview, President Donald Trump stated he would “absolutely” sign legislation banning stock trading by members of Congress if such a bill reached his desk.
“I watched Nancy Pelosi get rich through insider information, and I would be okay with it. If they send that to me, I would do it” Trump told in a conversation focused on his first 100 days back in office.
When asked directly if he would sign a bill banning congressional stock trading, Trump doubled down: “Absolutely.”
The push to prohibit lawmakers from trading stocks has gained bipartisan momentum in recent years, though no legislation has made it through both chambers of Congress.
The issue flared in 2022 when former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) reversed her earlier opposition to such a ban, amid scrutiny of her husband Paul Pelosi’s profitable trading history.

It started in 2016 with Bitcoin. Like most people at the time, he didn't fully understand it - so he kept digging. Blockchain, tokenomics, the projects, the cycles. That curiosity never stopped, and eventually pulled him into traditional markets too: equities, commodities, macro. Not because he left crypto behind, but because you can't properly understand one without the other. What drives him is straightforward: he wants to know why something is happening, not just that it's happening. Most market coverage stops at the headline - price up, price down, here's a chart. Alex finds that kind of reporting actively unhelpful. If you walk away from an article without understanding the mechanism behind the move, what did you actually learn? He holds a degree in Tourism from New Bulgarian University - not the most obvious path into financial markets, but markets have a way of pulling in people who are simply too curious to stay out. He has authored over 200 in-depth analyses and more than 10,000 articles across crypto and traditional finance. He still thinks every day in markets teaches him something new. That's probably why he hasn't stopped.
