In a show of confidence in President Trump's trade policies, Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican congresswoman, demonstrated her support not just in words but also in action by investing in stocks when others were divesting in response to tariff concerns. Buying shares of companies that had been significantly impacted by Trump's tariff threats, such as Lululemon, Dell Computer, Amazon, and Restoration Hardware, she made some successful investments although the specific amounts remain undisclosed. Notably, her purchase of Restoration Hardware stock proved to be particularly profitable, with the stock price rising significantly since her acquisition. Despite bipartisan proposals to ban lawmakers from stock trading due to potential conflicts of interest, no legislation has been passed, including the recently proposed End Congressional Stock Trading Act. Greene, a vocal advocate of Trump's tariffs, has not commented on her investment decisions when approached by the Associated Press. While certain stocks saw a temporary surge following news of a partial halt to import taxes, overall investor sentiment remains cautious regarding the trade situation.
