My opinion is yes. When you go in for State and Federal Office your stocks and bonds adjustments should be frozen in the sense you can’t adjust them unless it’s for a serious personal emergency. Like to cash out due to severe catastrophe, sickness, or injury. I think they should be still free to buy things like Gold, Silver, or Crypto, but their stock/bond investments rest should be frozen/isolated. And they can’t be doing book deals period until they’re 6 months to a year out of office.
