Trump Says He's Hands-Off on His Own Money, While Markets Stay in His Orbit
Trump sat for a children's-book podcast on 3 July while his tariff and NATO rhetoric moved indices that price the assets his own disclosure form lists. The conflict-of-interest regime was not built for a president whose Truth Social posts are tradable signals.

Desk note: The wire carried Trump's "hands-off" posture and his market-moving policy statements on the same day as parallel facts. Monexus treats them as one arrangement: a disclosure regime built for the insider-trading era, applied to a presidency whose decisions move the indices that determine the disclosed assets.
