President Donald Trump lashed out Wednesday at Sen. Josh Hawley over the senator’s vote for a bill that would prevent members of Congress — and future presidential administrations — from buying, selling or owning individual stocks.
The Truth Social tirade came just hours after Trump said earlier Wednesday he likes the bill “conceptually.”
“I wonder why Hawley would pass a Bill that Nancy Pelosi is in absolute love with — He is playing right into the dirty hands of the Democrats,” Trump posted Wednesday evening. “I don’t think real Republicans want to see their President, who has had unprecedented success, TARGETED, because of the ‘whims’ of a second-tier Senator named Josh Hawley!”
