US Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene executed significant financial moves just days before President Donald Trump’s tariff announcement sent the stock market spiraling. Between March 16 and March 24, Greene made 15 trades, with her largest investments targeting US Treasury Bills (T-Bills). She spent between $300,000 and $750,000 on T-Bills, according to data from Capitol Trades, a platform tracking politician trades.

T-Bills are low-risk, short-term debt obligations, making them a secure choice for investors wary of market volatility. While they may yield lower returns than traditional stocks, their stability ensures minimal risk of loss. Greene’s purchases included transactions ranging from $100,000 to $250,000 on March 16, March 19, and March 24.

In contrast, she sprinkled smaller investments—between $1,000 to $5,000—across companies like Apple Inc., AbbVie Inc., and Costco Wholesale Group, diversifying her portfolio even as the broader market faced turbulence.

President Trump’s tariff announcement, delivered during a Rose Garden event dubbed "Liberation Day", declared a national emergency over foreign trade practices. The tariffs imposed included a minimum of 10% on all US imports starting Saturday, with over 90 countries facing reciprocal tariffs aimed at balancing trade deficits.

“President Trump is doing the right thing for the American people,” Greene said during an interview on Liberation Day with podcaster Alec Lace. “I think he’s extremely generous. Reciprocity is fair.”

However, the stock market did not share Greene’s optimism. As Trump spoke, the Dow Jones dropped over 250 points, the S&P 500 fell 100 points, and Nasdaq futures plummeted by more than 400 points. By Saturday evening, the Dow had lost a staggering 2,339 points, marking its worst performance since the height of the COVID-19 crash.

While Greene’s T-Bill-heavy strategy seemingly protected her funds, others weren’t so fortunate. Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic former House Speaker, reportedly lost millions as Wall Street reeled.

“Pelosi’s net worth has fallen by approximately $7 million since Tuesday,” said Chris Kardatzke, co-founder of stock market data website Quiver, in an interview with DailyMail.com.

In the face of economic volatility, Greene’s financial decisions highlight her cautious yet strategic approach. With T-Bills offering a safe haven, she secured her investments while championing President Trump’s policies.

Despite the market’s downturn, Greene’s confidence in the administration's trade strategy remains unwavering. Her investments reflect a broader narrative of adapting to uncertainty, offering a reminder of the importance of staying prepared.
