Trump and his administration are having a good time fucking with the market.

He was asked about it on tv, but he dodged the question with a bs answer.

That was a $4 trillion dollar swing in 5 minutes.

Panican.

Imagine, if you knew it was going to happen in advance!!

The US stock market just lost and gained more value in 3 minutes than the entire stock market was worth in 1995.

NEW: Trump threatens ADDITIONAL 50% tariffs on China unless they withdraw their 34% retaliatory tariffs.
DEADLINE TOMORROW.

He. Is. Insane. #TrumpCrash

Just 2 R senators and 4 R representatives needed. Call your Senators and Congress reps folks. Tell them you are holding them responsible for this, and all the other recent needless disasters destroying our country, ask why they aren’t acting.

pjpedro.bsky.social•6 days ago

Correction - 2 R reps and 4 R Senators

nuthatchme.bsky.social•6 days ago

In theory, yes. In reality, if Trusk orders *executive* agencies/departments to continue following his "do not fund" and "fire everybody" EOs, all bets are off.

johngage1.bsky.social•6 days ago

Man who couldn’t make a profit from a casino now thinks he can win a trade war against China.

travellator3.bsky.social•6 days ago

no worries at all while one is short. It's all a great party. Unless you rely on superannuation.

davidtroffer.bsky.social•6 days ago

This sounds like 8 year olds arguing about playground territory.

frankotron.bsky.social•6 days ago

When the UK Prime Minister attempted some economic shock and awe, she was widely mocked and compared to a lettuce. The lettuce stayed fresher for longer than she stayed Prime Minister.
I wonder whether Trump will outlast a tangerine.

nicodeamous.bsky.social•6 days ago

These are not the words of a man in control - quite the opposite as he realises that if others increase tariffs (as he has done) then the US is stuffed

kintsugi2.bsky.social•6 days ago

I keep wondering, who has set up short sales and dramatically taking advantage of the chaos caused? I knew who knew all of this was coming? What kind of insider trading had been done in advance of this or an alignment with this?

jooltman.bsky.social•6 days ago

25th Amendment.

banawan.bsky.social•6 days ago

You can see how a guy like this could bankrupt 6 casinos. He *cannot* back down or change course. Worse, he doubles and triples down when he has a losing hand.

I really hope someone is doing the investigative work on how Trump et al. are gaming the markets now in what's got to be the ultimate acts of short selling and insider trading

Tanking again now that those lucky enough to buy that upswing are selling as fast as they can.

opalharvest.bsky.social•6 days ago

@amandaselene.bsky.social crazy! Up for a rumor of tarrifs pauses then down as the rumour proven false

amandaselene.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yes. Money and the whole thing is a human invention and is all very imaginative 🤣

The Trump family and friends are going to make even more $$ off insider trading the public markets than on crypto.

The market abhors instability. And Trump is about to learn how much damage he can do in just a few days.

Not that he cares.

gatomedianoche.bsky.social•6 days ago

This government is being run on the basis of rumours and conspiracy theories

martinrobertson.bsky.social•6 days ago

a lot of it automated. If some are using "AI" to buy and sell then they possibly triggered that surge (and lost them money)

mjmullady.bsky.social•6 days ago

All just to avoid hitting the break triggers?

jolk.bsky.social•6 days ago

And Trump voters claimed he would be "good for the economy", he's doing all he can to convince them otherwise it would seem. Pure genius!

gwchilly.bsky.social•6 days ago

From the If-I-thought-of-it-then-they-must-have-too file:

Wall Street firms must be thinking of dangling soft, lucrative landings to House and Senate members who will commit to impeaching Trump. We know this is in their toolkit.

vicalpha.bsky.social•6 days ago

A super healthy and normal way to move markets.

codykinski.bsky.social•6 days ago

Maybe the market needs to stay off the internet for awhile. Go for a walk or read a damn book or something.

They'll be making fortunes on insider trading, and as the courts are in on it nobody will ever be able to prove it.

Congress can stop this insanity. Let's fire up that switchboard again! The number is 202-224-3121. Let's demand action to stabilize the economy, AND their support for the "Stop the Steal," bill to prevent unlawful meddling in the Treasury Department's payment systems.
