According to his own financial disclosure forms, Donald Trump is using his knowledge about deals his own administration is attempting to make to earn himself millions of dollars. Trump's forms show that he recently purchased several million dollars in shares of Intel - the same company that he's trying to have the government purchase a stake in. He made similar purchases of Boeing bonds, the company that stands to profit the most from his potential invasion of Venezuela. 

Donald Trump has decided to follow through on his administration's promise from several months ago about NOT releasing economic reports to the public. Several months ago, the Trump administration said that it was because the data was being "manipulated" by Democratic plants, but now they're trying to blame it all on the government shutdown. The truth is much more simple: The data is devastating and Donald Trump doesn't want to suffer the humiliation of being the worst president on economic issues since George W. Bush. 

According to the polling information available, Donald Trump is now more unpopular than at any other point in his two terms in office. But if you step back even further than that, the picture is far more grim. Donald Trump's disapproval rating of 63% (from a recent CNN poll) makes him the LEAST LIKED president since Richard Nixon, and Nixon wasn't truly despised until the Watergate scandal. Since a vast majority of the population is under the age of 50, this means that most of us have never seen a president as despised as Trump.
