The PELOSI Act is designed to address a longstanding concern about the potential for conflicts of interest by prohibiting members of Congress and by extension, their spouses, from engaging in individual stock trading while in office.
The goal is to ensure that policymakers focus solely on public service without the distraction or temptation of personal financial gain enabled by access to material nonpublic information.
Insider Trading laws apply to all market participants regardless of political affiliation. This means that if anyone, President Trump included, were to trade based on nonpublic info, they would be subject to existing legal penalties enforced by the SEC.
I believe that the President of the USA should be held accountable for insider trading and should not be above the law. However to enforce this will be difficult as Trump holds massive power and the SEC Chairman is also appointed by him.
