Except this trick only works once, like it did last month. If you keep doing it, it makes traders tired and pissed off, so either the market stays flat or it dives, and it takes a very long time for traders to trust that you won't do it again.
Ugh don’t give it a snappy name and normalise it, he’ll love that! Call it a ‘twat tax’ or a ‘loser levy’ or a ‘tantrum tariff’ something he can’t use in his next sermon to bigot himself up!

Oh, ffs. It’s by design for swing trades: insider trading on market manipulation.
He’s betting the market will move up & down based on his own planned pronouncements

The best part is that the constant wavering and extensions will cause the markets to go down more than if he held firm. Then at least companies would have something to plan against. Constant waffling just creates more confusion and investment paralysis.

A circus now runs our town.
Led by the incompetence clown!
They're ignorant fools but they're also criminals and not stupid.
