Trump may be profiting from new Covid-19 test kit maker, Thermo Fisher Scientific Corp...
I was just at https://twitter.com/chrislhayes for a variety of Covid-19 virus discussions I hadn't considered and found this:

Trump claims he divested himself of those investments, but journalists, including those from Fortune Mag have not been able to find any actual proof of his having done so. https://fortune.com/2016/05/19/donald-trump-investments/
This may be in conspiracy theory territory, but deserves a deeper dive by reputable investigative organization and the House Dems. Apparently, Pro Publica has concerns as well. See a request for information about Thermo-Fisher here:

Among things that looks suspicious are:
1. Trump Admin rejected proven reliable WHO test kits when we needed them the most. Why? Because he wanted to make money with his investments in Thermo Fisher, maybe? (Not only this issue but other concerns raised on this page at Empty Wheel - will make your hair stand on end!)

2. After being in the works since last year, Thermo-Fisher suddenly acquires, 3-4 days ago, China company who is instrumental in making those test kits. Value of Thermo-Fisher suddenly surges. Coincidence? Maybe

3. In 2017, Trump goes to China and pledges a mega-billion investment of YOUR tax dollars into a number of China Biotech companies. Among them: Thermo-Fisher China subsidiary. Whose investment? His or ours?

If you google: Thermo Fisher Scientific Corp trump and follow some of the links, it certainly raises suspicion.
