the real billionaires made a killing on the telegraphed market bounce.

All the evidence I’ve seen supports that idea.

And also maybe he’s on some different meds

Trumps a moron. Also a crook. He manipulated the market so he and his enablers could make a fortune

Occam's Razor.

Both can be true.

None of those things are mutually exclusive.

Why can’t it all be true?

Agreed. Crazy old insecure baby man attempts to look strong but ends up humiliating himself and eventually doing what the billionaires tell him to do.

I actually think he set out to make those “in the know” a TON of money. The grift never stops with this con-man-der in chief!

COWARD needs to be capitalized when referring to Cadet Bone Spurs, our Felon-in-Chief

nomadruss.bsky.social•13 days ago

Yep. But people in his inner circle are still making bank...

Trump is a buffoon and a patsy, if ever he had a plan it has since gone the way of the Do Do. No, I am not referring to one of his idiot children.

fightingforjus.bsky.social•13 days ago

Yes. There is no plan. No strategy. He’s just a madman.

bruceinva.bsky.social•13 days ago

That’s not mutually exclusive with the other 2.

Hanlon's razor:
Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
Would favor he’s an emotionally unstable, needy moron. But as others have said here, none of the explanations are mutually exclusive.
