Marjorie Taylor Greene Scooped Up Tanking Stocks — and Made a Profit After Tariff Pause: Report

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) reportedly made a series of bold stock buys last week — right as the markets cratered under President Donald Trump’s tariff threats.

Greene, a vocal MAGA diehard, pounced on some of the market’s worst-hit companies, according to a newly filed financial disclosure seen by CBS News. Among her targets: Dell, Amazon, Lululemon, and RH (formerly Restoration Hardware) — all of which were down nearly 40% when she bought in.

It’s unclear how much Greene spent, since the required three-page report only offers ranges. But the timing is “working out so far” according to CBS News.

RH, her standout winner, soared more than 30% after Trump abruptly paused most tariffs on countries outside China for 90 days on Wednesday.

That move temporarily lit a fire under the distressed and depressed markets, though the bounce was short-lived. The S&P 500 gave back much of Wednesday’s gains in Thursday’s selloff, closing down 3.5%. RH dropped more than 10% Thursday, but remained above the price Greene paid.

Dell, which had lost more than half its value, has rebounded 9% since Greene’s purchase.

Hours before easing the tariffs, Trump told his supporters on Truth Social, “THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!”

“I have signed a fiduciary agreement to allow my financial advisor to control my investments,” Greene said in a statement to the Associated Press when asked whether she made the stock buys herself. “All of my investments are reported with full transparency.”

There is no evidence Greene traded on nonpublic information, which would constitute insider trading. However, the timing of Trump’s tariff announcement — paired with his recurring calls for supporters to “buy the dip” — has sparked criticism from opposition lawmakers.
