As Trump brags about U.S. oil and gas company profits, his stocks gained millions during Iran war
A report from congressional Democrats found the president purchased millions in oil and gas stocks during the war.
While Americans pay more at the pump because of a war President Trump started, giant corporations & their investors, like Trump, are cashing in & bragging.
His gains must be investigated, & we must bring an end to the Iran War to finally bring down the price of oil.
As President Trump lines his own pockets and those of his billionaire friends, millions of working families are paying the price of a cost-of-living crisis he created.
It’s time to investigate Trump’s profits, end the war in Iran, and bring down costs for American families.
Trump currently holds up to $81 million in oil and gas stocks. His stocks have increased in value by 43% since the end of 2025.
Hard working American families should never have to go into debt to put food on the table or keep a roof over their heads.
Trump’s economic policy is to enrich his billionaire friends while impoverishing our communities.
