In this case, he has a point. Anyone who's big into stock trading and has the money to throw around is almost certainly going to have at least a little bit of stock in big companies like Pfizer and JJ.

What is more dubious is the connection Trump already had with Moderna, which is nowhere near as big or successful (and thus not as typical for stock traders to include in a portfolio).

I will also add that I do think that as a general rule of law, we do need to put stronger restrictions to limit what politicians can invest in while they're in office (and maybe a period of time afterwards as well), to try and prevent them from using public office to profit in order to aid their investment-based profits.

Additionally, going to add that I am generally not happy with how Trump handled the vaccine push, especially with the huge "blank" check he wrote to these companies, with all the legal immunity they could hope for. I sometimes consider the possibility that he was a player in some grander scheme that led to the entire chain of events, though generally I think he was probably presented with the kind of challenge that he absolutely sucks at tackling. Not that I give him especially glowingly positive reviews on his administration in other areas either. Just preferable to most of the left-wing alternatives at the time, unfortunately.
