I honestly don’t believe that trump is doing some intentional stock market grift. That would require foresight, planning, and self control despite ego.maybe someone gave hime some. Instructions or something but he sure as shit doesn’t care about those.
Next up Republicans are gonna try to paint him as a loose “Pitt bull” when really he is just a loose cannon they can’t control.
Their faces aren’t worth the cost of eggs
There was definitely a rumor that caused a market spike two days ago until the white house immediately called it “fake news” which the media took at Trump’s word as they always so gullibly do. Well as it turns, out, this “fake news” got the duration of the pause right to the exact number of days.
Now everyone seems to be pretending they don’t remember that this happened just two days ago and I just don’t get it. Shouldn’t somebody be asking why some random people on Twitter seemed to know Trump’s plans in advance?
Maybe Trump got the idea from that rumor. Self-fulfilling prophecy. /s
You don’t even need the “/s” on that statement.
Just in case anybody would think that I thought that that was a the truth.
Edit: Funny grammar
Lock him up! Lock him up!
This grifter needs to be jailed now
I heard the French have a solution for this
You misspelled hanged until dead.
Americans wouldn’t. China does.

The American legal system will be unable and/or unwilling to deal with it. Best chance is to send HIM to El Salvador if he ever relinquishes the office.
why not to the antartic islands and have the penguins deal with him.
With the Guano Act the US “acquired” lots of islands all over the world. Choose one of those bird shit covered rocks and put him on there
The penguins don’t deserve that.
Penguins have gone through enough already.
He’ll flee himself.
Absolutely not. Crimes committed within the u.s. such as treason get adjudicated in the u.s.
See my first sentence.
The American legal system, fucked as it already was, absolutely can handle this, or could. Was. Even I have fond memories of the U.S. Marshals banging at my door, wearing obviously baggy shirts. That shit was handled by the court.
The reason why it isn’t working is someone is actively breaking it
which is what @GuyFawkes@midwest.social is saying
We were fucked already. I was on a plane overseas when 9/11. Oops you are dangerous
Yes!
Fight fascism with fascism. It’s the liberal way.
Seriously tho, the “legal system” is the problem.
isnt there a video of him talking about how much him and his friends made from it? its not really an accusation at this point, he manipulated the market.
Should have stuck to simple, safe insider trading like the other guys do. Always with the flashy showing off.
With all of the absolutely blatant market manipulation he’s done just since he took office, one more charge isn’t going to mean shit when there haven’t been any consequences yet, and probably won’t be any time soon if ever. Anyone else breaking the law this openly and this often would in the very least be in jail without bail awaiting trial, if not already firmly in prison.
I don’t see how any of this matters.
He is literally and figuratively above the law. He will face zero consequences.
He doesn’t care. He has immunity.
no shit sherlock. its a fucking tariff. its gonna effect the market and pricing. these assholes are shorting the fuck out of whatever is profitable to do so. and controlling that ourtcome on several fronts.
Jail Trump! Jail Trump!
…and he pardoned himself.
Hold on, is he raping two old ladies on main street while also shooting a dog, stealing 10 cars, developing an illegal DNA chemical and polluting the environment?
…and he pardoned himself.
I feel no one looks at truth social cause screw it but shortly before the announcement of the pause on tariffs trump did post to buy now.
The volume spike was an hour after that post
He made the announcement at 1:18, but there was a high volume spike in SPY at 1:02. He then introduced some friends, like Charles Schwab, in the white house later and said they had made billions. This crash was also the first time MTG bought stocks.
Should be an SEC investigstion with actual consequences for once. Probably won’t be, but there should.
Hasn’t Elon fired most of the SEC staff, to make sure they don’t get in their way…
Hahaha an SEC investigation? I haven’t seen a single working class win at the federal level for about 16 years now
