    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.

    This should be considered an act of war by…everyone, really. Everyone should pull their stuff out of the US market, be they ordinary Americans, Norweigian oil bonds, or German gold.

    Trump will pull this shit again, he has a pattern of pulling the rug, and will keep doing so long after there is no more rug.

      Just keep the retaliatory tariffs and say that the world governments don’t have time and resources to deal with a child playing with tariff sliders like it’s a fucking 20 year old Paradox game. Until he’s out of office, or preferably in jail.

      The fake leak about pausing tariffs earlier the past few days was the test to see how much money can be moved with one announcement

    You know he’ll never face charges tho, right? I mean SCOTUS essentially gave him carte blanche to do anything he wants, whenever he wants to whomever he wants, no questions asked.

    I don’t see how any of this matters.

    He is literally and figuratively above the law. He will face zero consequences.

    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.

    If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.

    THIS looks like a scam, doesn’t float so there’s some doubt, it sounds like a scam, yep, it’s a scam.

    Should have stuck to simple, safe insider trading like the other guys do. Always with the flashy showing off.

    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.
