Earlier this month, President Donald Trump disclosed that his trust is actively trading individual stocks, an unprecedented practice for a sitting U.S. president in the modern era.

The arrangement is raising new questions about whether the president's actions, policies, or public statements could directly benefit his personal financial holdings.

Our White House correspondent, Liz Landers, takes a closer look

@her47942 And WHO chose those political representatives?

When we point the finger at others, we must also look in the mirror. Our actions (or inaction) put leaders in office. If we disapprove of their leadership, it is incumbent upon US to do something about it.

And THAT is the Newshour for tonight (and the semester!)

Any final thoughts?

@KennethHer91011 The bottom line is that we'll NEVER have 0% inflation. Prices continually rise. The challenge comes when it rises too fast due to unforeseen issues (like a global pandemic) and significant events (Russian invasion of Ukraine).

@KennethHer91011 A certain amount of inflation is necessary in a market economy like the US's. The Federal Reserve Bank wants inflation to be at about 2% year-over-year. This allows for people to get raises, businesses to expand and open new markets, and profits.

@Teresa94816231 @babyydannaaa We don't have the prison cells to meet the demand!

@KennethHer91011 This is precisely why we must remain involved and engaged. There are too many voters to are not, yet vote anyway.

This is why it is absolutely CRITICAL that we elect people who will make decisions based on evidence and science. Too much is at stake.

Speaking of support for @PBS , Do y'all know the #RGV is now the largest metropolitan area in the country without its own public broadcasting stations? I think we ought to bring PBS to the RGV!

@Thatone50216783 "The economy" isn't just one thing. It's complicated. There are always people struggling. There are also some systemic issues that have vulnerabilities for people.

@her47942 @ricardog_utrgv @Thatone50216783 YES! Another excellent example.

[StudentsTweetPolitics @StudentsTweetP1]

YES! Countries SHOULD cooperate. There can be win-win arrangements where we collaborate!

It’s great that countries help each other. China has always been ahead when it comes to things like this. It doesn’t surprise me that China is doing better than the U.S in helping Africa. #StudentsTweetPolitics @StudentsTweetP1

[StudentsTweetPolitics @StudentsTweetP1]

Does everything HAVE to be a competition between rivals? We used to work with other countries to collaborate on projects. In some areas, like space exploration, we still do.

@ricardog_utrgv @Thatone50216783 This is a HUGE Problem. It's kinda like the folks that got extreme makeover homes and then had to sell them because they couldn't afford the increased property taxes.

@HectorMont90845 Maybe not outright control, but influence, to be sure.
