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.
Yet his Truth Social followers were notified hours in advance.🤔
Is this fucking real?
Insider trading tips to his cult?
Yuppers. It’s market manipulation with a side of insider trading. He had better be charged when he leaves office.
Ah, so that's why tesla jumped 23% today in the most unnatural way
Most big tech stocks did as well. And most of the market to a lesser extent.
True, my main focus has been tesla the past years, but I shouldve meantioned the whole market this time.
when he leaves office.
Uhh, I don't know how to tell you this but he isn't leaving office.
He's 79 and loves McDonald's. He could very easily have a heart attack in his sleep tonight.
From your lips to God's ears.
Haha just kidding god is dead.
I wish you were right, but methinks we’ll see exactly how the evidentiary part of the immunity ruling was so important if anyone tries.
He's old and obviously experiencing dementia. Don't bet on it. His frailty and broken mind will be used as an excuse
his supporters are the only gullible to buy his stocks, or trades or whatever.
The sales timing I saw only showed a 15 minute window.
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.
If they had any shame this would matter, but they're too busy rolling around on piles of money to give a damn.
Markets hate uncertainty.
This will exacerbate instability.
Maybe he’s saying that to hide his insider trading
