The MAGA proponent made 15 investments between March 16 and March 24. Her three largest moves were putting hundreds of thousands of dollars towards US Treasury Bills, also know as T-Bills.
T-Bills
are short-term debt obligations that are considered low risk, so they
may bring in lower returns than other kinds of investments.
Marjorie Taylor Greene makes huge stock market play just days before tariffs announced
- On March 16, March 19 and March 24, Greene spent $100,000 to $250,000 per transaction on T-Bills, according to Capitol Trades, a platform devoted to sharing politician trading data.
- The Trump ally invested between $300,000 and $750,000 in Treasuries, according to the filings.
- These massive purchases were sprinkled among multiple smaller ones that spanned from $1,000 to $5,000 in companies including Apple Inc, AbbVie Inc and Costco Wholesale Group.
During his announcement at the White House Rose Garden, Trump asserted that foreign trade and economic practices have sparked a national emergency.
All nations will be faced with at least 10 percent tariffs on all US imports starting on Saturday.
But more than 90 countries will be hit with additional reciprocal tariffs in order to make the US 'wealthy again' by April 9.
Reciprocal tariffs, according to the White House, are the rates 'necessary to balance bilateral trade deficits between the US and each of our trading partners.'
As Trump spoke, stock values plunged - with Dow Jones instantly dropping more than 250 points, the S&P 500 falling 100 points and Nasdaq futures decreasing by more than 400 points.

'I think President Trump is extremely generous. Reciprocity is fair,' Greene told podcaster Alec Lace on Liberation Day.
'The tariffs that he's charging on most of these countries are half of what they're charging us.
'President Trump is doing the right thing for the America people and I don't think any other country can complain.'
As Greene apparently secured a significant portion of her funds with her T-Bills transactions, Democratic former house speaker Nancy Pelosi lost millions since Wall Street saw its worst day since the height of the COVID crash.
'Nancy Pelosi’s net worth has fallen by approximately $7 million since Tuesday, per our estimates,' Quiver, a stock market data website, co-founder Chris Kardatzke told DailyMail.com on Friday.
