Green Bay Packers offensive lineman David Bakhtiari recently put Democratic Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi on blast about a curious trade that was brought to the public's attention. The star Packers player has a history of calling out politicians who make profits in the stock market while in office.

Bakhtiari used his X platform to highlight a trade made by the late Senator Dianne Feinstein, whose net worth grew to over $200 million during her 30-year career in public office. Feinstein's family has been in the news for years because of money they've made in unusual trades. Bakhtiari asked how US citizens can be "cool" with actions from politicians like Feinstein, who can use information from committee briefings to make smart trades in their respective portfolios.

Bakhtiari pointed out another trade on his X account this week. Unusual Whales posted a Tweet on a trade Pelosi made. The account alleges Pelosi bought millions in stock of Nvidia and has millions in stock of Microsoft and Google.

Bakhtiari doesn't seem pleased with how Pelosi is putting herself in a position to make money by investing in private corporations that the government is backing.

"Dope..Nothing to see here," Bakhtiar wrote on X.

The trades Pelosi and other politicians have made on Nvidia, Microsoft, and Google are legal. However, many people responding to Bakhtiari's post feel those trades cross ethical boundaries.

Say what you want about Donald Trump, but he donated his president's salary to charity. His net worth declined while in office. The current president has become a multi millionaire from his nefarious activites during his decades in Washington.
