    Isn’t it patently obvious?

    Trump’s like, oh, I’ve got a genius idea, let me tweet about it. tweets “Now is a good time to buy!”

    Then a few *hours later he tweets he is lowering tariffs to a 10% baseline.

      And just like that stocks are rising again. Trump and his closer circle commited the biggest case of insider trade in history right now and his top trade official wasn’t part of it apparently.

        Yuppers. It’s market manipulation with a side of insider trading. He had better be charged when he leaves office.

              True, my main focus has been tesla the past years, but I shouldve meantioned the whole market this time.

          Uhh, I don’t know how to tell you this but he isn’t leaving office.

        his supporters are the only gullible to buy his stocks, or trades or whatever.

    I love how all our friends and enemies are watching this incompetence. What a national embarrassment. I hope the non-cult supporters of this administration never forget how this “smart” and “stable genius” runs our country. You’d have thought they wouldn’t have forgotten the last time, but here we are.

    Maybe he’s saying that to hide his insider trading
