Trump accused of ‘market manipulation’ with tariff pause
Democratic lawmakers want answers after critics blast the president’s alleged insider trading and ‘pump and dump’ scheme
100%, its incredibly obvious.
No, I was watching the bond market. The bond market is very tricky. I was watching it, but if you look at it now, it’s — it’s beautiful. The bond market right now is beautiful. But, yeah, I saw last night where people were getting a little queasy.”
Hard to believe these are US Presidential quotes. Sounds more like some teenage barista smoking pot.
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.
100% he is making bank off this. So are his buddies. What DOGE was all about, setting up the US Gov't to be fleeced as a cash cow for the crime family. We need these criminals removed and full security audit on our entire gov't computer system. Every US citizen is currently at risk due to negligence but these fools. That doesn't even cover the extensive list of civil rights violations and oh...you know, constitution violations. But it matters not unless the are actual consequences. But money makes those go away.
I've been saying this all along. Not just about this time, but he has pulled off a similar trade scare every month since he took office, with the same result - he announces tariffs, the market tanks, he rattles his sabre a bit, then pauses the tariffs, and the market rises again.
This has been the third, and biggest one, probably because he needed to make it a big one as he cried wolf for a third time. Which means the next time he does it, it will have to be even bigger.
Its clearly market manipulation, of a type that only president could do, but only if he were corrupt enough.
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.
The only reason he reversed course is because the bond market was shitting the bed. If no one was buying our shitty bonds, then they couldn't issue the debt to pay for the massive tax cuts for the rich they're about to pass. The insider trading wasn't supposed to start until the market bottomed, they will absolutely try this same play again in three months.
And? Who’s going to do anything about it? The stupidest people in this country gave a con man unilateral power to do anything he wants, what did they expect?
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.
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?
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.
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.
Arrest his corporate benefactors for insider trading. They’ll find out loyalty is only one way, or worst case scenario pardoning clear criminal behavior goes on record
If the conman-in-chief somehow made himself above every law, above Constitutional checks and balances, we have to start by removing the criminals that enable and support that, or worst case scenario take every opportunity to highlight it to low information voters
He can only flout the law because he has supporters that enable criminal behavior. Remove them and this all comes tumbling down
And what will happen? Fuck all. And that’s why America is a fucking joke. If any of you on here did this it would be punishable. But you have someone as president who actually made himself go above the law..
Lock him up! Lock him up!
Should have stuck to simple, safe insider trading like the other guys do. Always with the flashy showing off.
Trump manipulating the stock market???!!!! Say it ain't so!
Well I am shocked, I tell ya, absolutely shocked! 😧😣
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.
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.
Of course it is.
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.
Just like every single politician. Ever heard of chuck and nancy?
These people are all trash.
Well teah and ain't shit going to done about it.
On a side note, I am absolutely fascinated by the size of the man's head directly over Shit for Brains right shoulder.
That fawkin 'ed is HUGE! It's like an orange on a tooth pick.
If it quacks like a duck and walks like a quack I mean duck... well obviously that couldn't just be a duck right? It HAS to be a dog right? Like... I know it looks 100% like a duck and everything but we aren't the kind of place that just lets ducks run things. Trust me I have some friends who know a lot about dogs and they are sure that is a dog!
Nah it is definitely a dog.
He doesn't care. He has immunity.
That sounds like market is a shitty invention if it is so easy to manipulate it /s
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
‘Got em’
