President Donald Trump dismissed allegations that he uses his position and access to insider information for stock market gains, saying he profits because the market is rising and he has a lot of money. The exchange was reported by an Israeli the source.
A report circulating on Israeli Telegram channels Thursday morning quotes President Donald Trump responding to a journalist's question about allegations that he uses insider information to profit in the stock market. Trump said: 'I make money because the stock market is rising. We all make money. What about your pension? It went up 85%. You should say: Thank you, President Trump! I make money because I have a lot of money.' The report, attributed to a correspondent identified as Mordechai K., did not include an on-record statement from the journalist or the specific context of the exchange. The claim that Trump profits from insider access has circulated among critics, but the president's response does not directly address the substance of the allegation.
