Salinas discuss her bill on MS NOW\n\nWASHINGTON, D.C. \u2014 Today, Congresswoman Andrea Salinas (OR-06) introduced legislation that would stop the President of the United States from profiting from insider trading on stocks. The No Official Presidential Returns On Furtive Individual Trades (NO PROFIT) Act would impose a 100% federal tax on certain capital gains earned by the President of the United States outside of a qualified trust while in office, preventing a sitting United States president from personally profiting from potential insider trading.\n\n\u201cIn the first three months of 2026, President Trump made over 3,600 individual stock trades valued between $220 and $750 million. Rather than lowering costs for millions of families, President Trump has used his power to make himself and his billionaire buddies even richer,\u201d said Salinas. \u201cMy bill would hold him, and any sitting United States president, accountable to the interests of the American people rather than their own financial interests.\u201d\n\nThe NO PROFIT Act would specifically require:\n\nAny sitting president must place their assets into a qualified blind trust or;\n\nBe forced to relinquish any net capital gains realized by a sitting president to go back to Americans through a 100% tax;\n\nAnd assets outside of a qualified blind trust would act as though they were sold at fair market value at the end of each tax year, preventing a president from holding appreciated assets until leaving office.\n\nEvery sitting president \u2014 except for the current president \u2014 in the last half century has put their investments into blind trusts to reduce potential conflicts of interest. The NO PROFIT Act would set a precedent to require every president to do the same or be forced to give these gains back to the people through a 100% tax.", 1, "2026-07-01T06:34:07Z", "2026-07-01T06:35:35Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://salinas.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-salinas-introduces-new-legislation-stop-sitting-president-insider-trading"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.779059948399663, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
