This disgraceful clown isn't the problem. Ignorance & cruelty of Republicans is the problem. We can regain our American greatest by living our values. All it takes is for decent people to vote them out down the ballot.
We can't expect some courage & patriotism by any members of a corrupted GOP.
The US has lost ALL CREDIBILITY because of one very stupid and powerful person and hundreds of elected sycophants who choose their power over the country’s stability!!!
VOTE THEM OUT!!!
Asian stocks or gold n silver, the only safe options now and honestly if i had any money I’d go for the gold cos everything getting too fuckry and historically that’s gold time
I know 😖
but it will keep going up
ALL the things that make metals go up don’t just keep happening (natural disasters, wars, stock market fluctuations) they are arguably increasing 😖
So silver will be going up too, silver is much cheaper & easier to collect, bit by bit, if it’s stamped 925 its good
One step is missing. After “market recovers” is “Trump takes full credit for saving the market with the media amplifying his ‘victory’, because we are so blessed to have a ‘successful’ businessman in control to save us, AGAIN”.
I don’t understand why everyone calls this stupid. It’s anything but if you know what the purpose is. They’re simply creating cheap market to repurchase everything we own and create a wasteland.
Indeed, but the purpose isn’t. It’s suppose to make us question everything, at the moment when three people own all the msm and truth is being reframed as traitorous.
I cannot help but wonder. if you had enough liquid assests then with every dumass announcement you could wait, and pounce on low stock prices, then unload on the walkback. Looks like a scam to concentrate the wealth of the wealthy into even fewer, richer, hands.
They all have dirty hands,
But with the level of lawlessness within the entire administration, even Judges seem to be powerless to make end roads with Teflon Don, and his cretin offspring’s.
Except he's not a f**king clown. He's a f**king grifter. You know all those crypto bros who showed up at his club last night? I'm sure he told them what he was going to do and they all called their brokers to short the market. Nothing he does is random.
he's perfectly capable of being both a clown and a grifter, and a lot of what he does can be random stupidity, you're giving him too much credit, he's not a genius strategist, he's a privileged moron that just keep failing upwards because of how broken society is
I agree that he's an incurious imbecile but everyone has a superpower. His is grifting. He has a knack for it. He also surrounds himself with shifty grifty types that advise him what to do.
if he had a "superpower" for grifting he wouldn't had bankrupted several casinos, the must likely true part is just that any intentionally clever part comes from what other people advice him to do not himself
I have known people like this. Toxic malignant narcissists. They have an instinct for grifting and consolidating power. They tend to be bad at everything else. Re the bankrupt casinos, I guarantee you that everyone lost their shirts except him. He only knows how to profit from destruction.
Yeah, actually issued IPO to raise $ for failing casinos. So many bought into it, only to lose it all (I’m talking everyday, working class people). Trump took the proceeds & paid off his PERSONAL debt to protect his assets. No law against it at time, thinking who’d do such a thing? Trump. Law now.
Tim O'Brien summed him up best: he's deeply ignorant, but he has a highly-developed lizard brain which alerts him to, and enables him to evade, the consequences of his stupidity.
Nothing is permanent. Everything evolves. If we ever needed to know our democracy's weak points, this experience is enlightening. Now is the time to formulate corrections before 2028. Project 2025 (1925) didn't happen overnight. Brookings needs to get busy!
Manipulation of the market resulted in the Great Depression. The SEC was established to put a stop 🛑 to that activity. But of course TFG is king and doesn't have to follow the rules.
Keep in mind, all republican and many democrats watch the tariff see-saw play out. They use their financial advisors to advise them how to buy/sell their stocks/bonds/futures. They can therefore thank their feckless leader for their financial stability.
It is a game that the press does not SEE.
Yes, but his donors/bribers are tipped ahead of time when he's going to make the latest unhinged tariff threat, so they can buy stocks on the dip. Which offsets the cost of the Trump coins they bribe him with.
They should just quit reacting to ever tweet he puts out. Until a document is signed and official, all this crap does is make his cronies rich. Or better yet, just don't even show or talk about the dang tweet. I'm sick of it.
we are not dumb. we have been complacent. that is changing. slowly, but changing. it was just very comfortable for the dems to not bother to pay attention for the past 40 years what the heritage foundation was up to. the dems at the top were making money, so all was good. time to pay the piper.
I agree with you, but no one will investigate. I believe that somewhere down the road, Elon is going to have a product that he needs to promote, and THEN he’ll say “this is how i rigged the election!”, a few yards from now, or sooner, of Trump DIES
Thank goodness he's neither corrupt nor greedy (or obsessed with wealth) because if he was he could maybe short the market before saying something really stupid.........
Yeah, not sure why they're getting all excited on the news. He'll just roll it back again. Act like the white knight rescuing us from the horrible problem he made.
What is Howard Lutnick’s business again? A business that profits when shares are bought and sold you say?
How do we track who is making the most from insider trading?
I think the purpose is in part market manipulation. He could be doing it for gain, or others camping him up one way or the other to short and buy repeatedly.
Market manipulation after his crypto gala last night.
Of course it’s nefarious, self-serving, and blatantly illegal. There’s no one to investigate and no one to hold him accountable and he knows it. This was always the plan and they had 4 years to prepare… game over for democracy. RIP USA. 🪦
Insiders sell Thursday afternoon. Trump announces new tariffs on Friday morning. Market collapses by Friday afternoon. Insiders buy late. Trump changes mind over weekend. Stocks soar Monday. Meanwhile, at Mar-a-largo, in the near future, Trump will announce at breakfast, "Feel a tariff coming on."
I'm going to live through this and when it’s all over, I’ll never vote again. No, nor any of my folk. If I have to lie, steal, cheat or kill. As God is my witness, I’ll never vote again. - Scarlett

If a real trader were told “tomorrow the Dow will close 1000 points higher” (or lower - it doesn’t matter) They can make almost *unlimited* amounts of money.
POTUS is now the larges impediment to any American Entrepreneur with any global exposure. not Insurance, currency trade, employment costs, COGS - the President is your largest unknown / business killer. amazing. His job should be to say.. "how can i help the usa grow"? nope now it's pay to play.
Feel so bad for the people nearing retirement who have to watch this impulsive toddler whipsaw their life savings for no fucking reason. Combine that with slashes to Medicare and all kinds of social services for the elderly, even threats to soc. sec. and you’re not warm and fuzzy about retiring.
The 50s are the prime years for nest egg building too. The irony is that the President doesn’t normally have tariff power. Good luck. If it’s not a full coup, things should be a lot better by 2032 or so.
Alternatively
Trump says something stupid
Cleanup crew walks it back
Trump says something even more stupid
Cleanup crew pretends he didn't say it
Trump loses interest
Cleanup crew makes a "deal"
Bragging brigade brags about Trump's brilliance.
He’s playing us all. You know he and his family and cronies are buying on the sly when it goes down, and selling when it goes back up. They are destroying our country and economy for their own gain. They hate us.
You left out the parts about buying heavily in the collapse and selling in the recovery. That’s insider trading on market manipulation. A president can do that, but shouldn’t. If there are no penalties to stop it from happening, it will keep happening. Thanks for coming to my TED talk on corruption
It's intentional manipulation. It's also to push out our agricultural businesses (farms) and force them to sell to JD Vance Agteck company. JD is selling the farms to international purchasers like the Afrikaners/Saudis.
Pump and dump by Trump. Insider trading on steroids. It's okay though because despite what that "old" out dated Constitution says, he's immune to prosecution while president. 💩
Don't forget that every time the market goes up after he pulls back on his colossally stupid thing, Trump claims that HE was the one who improved the market.
They don't think so, but I do, because they aren't clever, anyone with a brain can see their crime. Just because they get away with it, doesn't mean they are smart, it means the system is broken.
Billionaires can borrow hundreds of millions and deploy an AI trading program to push the markets with the assets protected by hedge options in both directions
They make money going up and going down with zero risk to assets
SEC has never contemplated what that level of money can do with AI
He slinks into his fake-gilded bunker—tan-stained carpet, ego-padded walls—pretending to govern while bleeding the country dry. A convicted parasite squatting in power as the nation hemorrhages. And still, no one drags him out.
I have a sneaking suspicion the bond market is preparing a smackdown. Unrestrained corruption and incompetence will have consequences. The smart people see where this is headed.
Spencer left out the part where folks in trump’s inner circle strategically sell off their stocks prior to stupid statement and buy stocks after the market tanks.
The crooks are getting filthy rich but my 401k will take a decade to recover losses.

Rabid fluctuations in the market is a way to build at least the appearance of wealth, if you're fast enough when you buy and sell. It helps if you have advance notice.
He’s manipulating the market. People get scared, dump their stocks, rich “fuckers” buy low. Then he backs off, rich “fuckers” sell high. They make billions of $. He knows exactly what he is doing. He knows it’s a crime. But, he is getting away with it.
The cynical amongst us might call that illegal market manipulation. ok, so everyone would call it that. but scotus, in it’s infinite wisdom decided that a president has earned the right to manipulate markets, take bribes, extort businesses, universities and communities for personal gain. Huzzah!
He knows exactly what he is doing. It's a money grab; drive stocks down with your crazy schemes and these thieves buy low land then sell when stocks rise. Market Manipulation!
I think he knows exactly what he is doing. It's a money grab; drive stocks down with your crazy schemes and these thieves buy low and then sell when stocks rise. Market Manipulation!
Yes George,Trump is mentally not capable of running our country so he’s letting other inexperienced aids and appointees and project 25 people direct him.thats why we are in this mess!Unless trump evaporates the mess we are in will continue.
It’s like he negotiating with himself. Hopefully Canada and the EU and every other country will just sit it out until he finished negotiating.
Those that try to negotiate tariffs should know that what is agreed on today will be different tomorrow.
A truly sick & deranged narcissist. Don0ld is so good at killing Americans. The USA will be alienated completely. Someone or something has to stop him before the carnage is too horrific☹️
Too late now, Republicans let this happen by allowing a convicted felon, criminal rapist to run for office. He never won, a lying scam on the American people. The rest of the world shuns you, people around the world stopped trips to the US, stopped buying your products. He’s threatening the world!
Well you know, no one in Europe takes trump's friday announcements seriously anymore. We wait till he has repeated the same thing two pr three times. He has the memory of a Goldfish, so he doesn't remember what he said a week ago.
He wants us to think he's stupid, that we won't know this is obvious market manipulation. Luckily he actually is stupid and can't cover his motives very well.

💸 Poor: Can’t afford rent, but hey—gas is 3¢ cheaper this week! Progress?
The world may have already discounted the U.S. as irrelevant.
VOTE THEM OUT!!!

I think he’s playing the system again to see if he can collect more.
And just to be a dick because he gets off on feeling powerful.
but also, he gets off on making the markets go up and down...he knows he has power, but he has no wisdom.
market manipulation!
they buy after it falls, then sell after it goes up
you can even do it too
It is a game that the press does not SEE.
"In the emotive battle against the ‘disease of wokeness’, Trump's an inspiration to far-right wannabies who crave the same despotic power. If Reform wins the next general election, the cruel madness of Trumpworld could take root here."

Bought and paid for.
Surely they could not make such a colossal misjudgement or be sucking up in advance?
After all, the media are the experts, aren’t they?
Said no one.
The US is fucked. The problem is it will sink the global economy on its way down the shitter
They have a whole securities division in the office
They make money going up and going down with zero risk to assets
SEC has never contemplated what that level of money can do with AI

Me, I don't play the market for reasons.
My point.
It wouldn’t shock me on Monday if suddenly changes tune again
