If you're making money on your 401K, what's wrong with Trump making a little money?

When a reporter attempted to ask him about the $1.2 billion he reported on his financial statement for last quarter, Trump asked if they were making money on their 401K?

In other words, if your 401K is doing good, no one should ask anything about his grifting and corruption. Everybody makes money. What's the problem?

This guy is a curse on America. Not just Democrats, but Republicans especially. They are forced to grovel and to crawl around like slimy snails. They have lost all dignity, if they ever had any?

But hopefully, they have a good 401K.

Doing what he’s doing would be in jail. He was/is doing massive insider trading. Martha Stewart went to jail for wayyyyy less than he’s done. It’s criminal.

So how does the stock market being up help the other 2/3 of the population? And that doesn't even count many retired people who don't have any money tied to the stock market either.

BTW, Trump said the stock market was up 85%. In reality, the S&P 500 is up just 23% and the DOW up only 19%.
