Finally, Trump's former chief of staff Mick Mulvaney sold off most of his stocks on the same day that Trump went on Fox News and said the economy is "stronger than ever" in early March.

Mick Mulvaney, then the acting White House chief of staff and the director of the Office of Management and Budget, sold between $215,000 and $550,000 in holdings in three mutual funds on March 4, according to ethics paperwork he submitted late last month.
