"As executor of his family's trust, over the years Gore has controlled hundreds of thousands of dollars in Oxy stock" Almost certainly not. Executors of a family trust almost never have control over those things, a management company does. While he certainly can request they dump the stock, the management company has a contractual obligation to maximize the value of the instruments they are managing. To sell stocks on a whim isn't likely to do that.
