BREAKING: the U.S Senate accidentally passed a bill banning Trump from Becoming President, and Biden is planning to sign it. Image
Image
The U.S senate is close to passing a bill that would ban federal lawmakers — and presidents — from owning and trading stocks and other investments.
The bill is called, the Ending Trading and Holdings in Congressional Stocks (ETHICS) Act.

The bill requires divestiture for people who want to become a congressperson or president or vice president.
The former president’s massive financial assets were a primary concern of Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) during a Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs debate LAST WEEK. Image
Sen. Romney: "I mean, he'd have to sell all of his Truth Social stock. He'd have to sell all of his private investments." Image
Sen. Romney: "This basically would prevent Donald Trump from becoming president if he wanted to maintain his financial assets without getting completely obliterated.” Image
The bill in question, an amended version of the Ending Trading and Holdings in Congressional Stocks (ETHICS) Act, ultimately passed out of committee with an eight to four vote, with Republican senators divided on how to proceed.
Trump owns 114 million shares of Trump Media and Technology Group, Corp, worth $3.776 billion, saying divesting of that would be “a massive disadvantage for him.”
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) chimed in to support Romney’s comments, saying he came into the meeting “happy to vote yes on this self-flagellation.” Johnson said he divested of his securities when running for office, considering it to be the “honorable thing to do.” Image
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI): “You know how much I've lost in terms of opportunity cost since that point in time,” Johnson said. “I’m going to vote ‘no’ now. We don't want to turn Congress into a rich man's club.” Image
Johnson is one of the richest members of the Senate, with a net worth of more than $39 million, according to Open Secrets. Image
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO), a co-sponsor of the bill, argued with his Republican colleagues who challenged the bill, saying “there's always an excuse for why we can't do a stock trade bill. I've heard this for years.” Image
“Congress is a rich man's club. That's the problem. That's what we're trying to fix,” Hawley said. Image
As currently written, Ending Trading and Holdings in Congressional Stocks (ETHICS) Act, would force president-elect Trump to sell his stocks or face a ban from becoming president.
The bill passed out of the senate committee with an eight to four vote.
White house source told us: "President Biden is planning to sign the bill."
If Biden signs the bill, Trump has to sell all his stocks or face a ban from becoming president.
