President Trump is once again proving he’s not just a fighter for the American people—he’s a champion against the corrupt elites in Congress. With his backing of Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna’s bipartisan initiative, the movement to ban stock trading for members of Congress is gaining crucial momentum. This is a massive win for the everyday Americans tired of watching their elected officials profit from their inside knowledge while they struggle to make ends meet. It’s about time!
Luna’s proposed legislation, aptly named the “Restore Trust in Congress Act”, aims to tackle the clear conflict of interest that arises when lawmakers engage in stock trading. It’s ludicrous that while ordinary citizens can be penalized for trading on insider information, those elected to serve and protect us operate under a completely different set of rules. Enough is enough! These politicians should not be allowed to put their profits above the interests of the people who voted them into office.

What’s particularly striking is the rare show of bipartisan support for this bill. The fact that it brings together voices from both sides of the aisle is significant. It highlights a growing recognition of the rampant corruption that plagues Washington, D.C. Even those who usually quarrel over everything are coming together to say one thing: Congress has to stop this practice. Why is that? Because nearly 95% of Americans agree! When have we seen such agreement before? Maybe it’s time to reflect on how out of touch many politicians are with the very voters they claim to represent.
Yet, here comes the irony. Just when conservative voters should feel optimistic, we have to face the uncomfortable truth: a bill like this had to be forced to the floor in the first place. This is a clear indication that Democratic leaders—famous for their anti-corruption rhetoric—will be none too happy to see their stock-picking pals lose this lucrative game. By backing Luna’s move for a discharge petition, Trump is casting a spotlight on the hypocrisy of those in power. Why do they resist this change if not to protect their own interests?
And let’s not gloss over the fact that despite current regulations, no member of Congress has seen consequences for insider trading. The existing “Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act” has proven to be a toothless measure. It’s the classic case of “rules for thee, but not for me.” Lawmakers must understand their time is up. The American people will no longer tolerate this blatant exploitation.
The question must be asked: why can’t our elected officials just play fair? When will they start prioritizing the welfare of their constituents over their own wallets? This legislation is a necessary step toward restoring trust in a system that has too long been riddled with greed and deception. Let’s hope Congress takes this opportunity seriously and passes the “Restore Trust in Congress Act.” Anything less would be an insult to the constituents who put them in office. The American people are watching, and we demand accountability.
