Last week, the U.S. Office of Government Ethics (OGE) published two Form 278-T disclosure reports covering Trump’s personal financial activity from January through March 2026. The documents, more than 100 pages, show more than 3,700 individual stock transactions. That’s more than 40 trades per market day across a three-month period.

    People can actually do something if they all coordinated and organized themselves. Mass demonstrations or coordinated strikes or boycotts.

    For instance, just boycott one single company … any company … and run it into the ground. Everyone could go about their daily lives with moderate, minimal or even no inconvenience, yet they’d still be protesting something. Like just boycott one supermarket chain … go shop as much as you want at every other store, just boycott the one. Then once that company goes completely under, you do it again and again and again … and most common people would not be affected but it would slowly knock down individual companies.

    Instead, everyone thinks that some magical saviour, politician, program, group, super hero or miracle will just fall out of the sky and save everyone and everything and they would not have had to do any work or give any effort to make it possible.

      You think this is a novel idea? Yes, if 350 million people could act as one for anything, it would solve all kinds of problems. You’ll notice that as soon as you start thinking about the implementation details at all, you start to realize it’s not just hard, but probably impossible.

        Any communication medium that could reach even 5% of that number of people, is already under the control of a profit-goblin who would try to prevent action. Big Tech and Corp Media have made sure they control the stream.
