It is corruption on steroids. And we, we need to take away the President's power to issue corrupt pardons and impeach Donald Trump now. But we can't stop there. We need to ban stock trading by the President, by the Vice President. We need to ban stock trading by the Supreme Court, and we need to ban stock trading by members of the United States Congress. Politicians should be answering to you, not their stock polios. (05:50–05:58)
