A very profitable "show" that lets them sell and buy at the right moment, only because they define that moment
Is there any evidence of him selling and buying at the right moment? Cos it's always seemed like such an intellect free strategy to me. It's like he's saying "Ooh you other countries, if you don't do what I say I'll make Americans pay YOU a lot more for your goods!". No wonder so many financial experts around the world seem utterly befuddled by this.
No direct evidence for him no, but there is direct evidence that the market shifts slightly before his announcements, suggesting that somebody is getting advanced knowledge.
Trump just got attached to the idea that once upon a time the federal government didn’t charge any income or corporate tax, and made all its money from tariffs. But at that time, they had barely any spending, almost no public services and absolutely no welfare. And the US doesn’t really produce much anymore.
But it also works out for his friends, cause announcements of tariffs or pauses in tariffs make big moves in the markets. And if you know in advance, you can make big trades and make big money. Which they have been doing nonstop.
It is not the actual tariffs, but the market reacting to the thread of them, and acting on that.
