One example, Germany's stock market has been particularly strong this year, supported by fiscal policy but also in part by an increase in exports due to US retailers stockpiling German goods to avoid tariffs.

Today's report showed the economy grew double what was expected and initially the DAX went up significantly in response to that news, but it actually ended the day at a loss because of Trumps announcement.

Trump tanks stocks by announcing tariffs, advises his cronies to 'buy the dip' then once a deal is made there's a rush to buy causing a large jump in value, which maximizing profits.

He then advises his insiders when the next fiscally restrictive announcement will come so that they can sell before values tank again.

Insider trading is now legal in the US: another reason not to believe the insiders as much, I suppose.
