Do you really have to ask? Little doubt there's funny business going on here. A dumb, old president suffering from dementia is a recipe for people around him taking full advantage of available opportunities.

trump is the bestest negotiator ever becuz he's made all these countries around the world drop their counter tariffs on US goods. there has never been a leader on earth with that ability ever!?!?!
me: wha??? no... the orange cheeto went and slapped tariffs on all these countries and in response they introduced counter tariffs. after a few days fat donny suspended the tariffs he imposed so the other countries did likewise.
that's not negotiating. gaaahhh!!! why are people so stupid?

NASDAQ call volume spiked minutes before the tariff pause was announced.
So some folks knew it was going to happen before it did. Its market manipulation and profiteering.

I refer to them simply as idiots. Seldom are things in life as black and white as a Trump supporter.

Republican congress is going along with it even though they’re small fish because they’re getting the insider trading info too.

It's not because people don't know. Those who do, are either profiting from it, or don't care enough to make noise about it beyond a social media post. Everyone else doesn't know what a f***ing tariff is, so.... yeah it's going to happen until congress steps up, or more people get Luigi'd. I think we all know what will happen first.

Or they've been threatened behind closed doors. Or promised riches if they just keep their mouths shut and go with it (probably both of those things).
It's unsettling how quickly some of the most powerful people - formerly critical of him - quickly all fell into place. Clearly some private, strong conversations have happened to cause that.

Why would they need to get sloppy? They are blatantly in the open about the manipulation and even gloating how much money was made. Nothing will happen.

Who is going to go after them? The DOJ or SEC probably not , they've gamed the system . Everyone has been so distracted by how the tariffs make no sense and what idiots they are with their tariff formula that no one was paying attention to the stock manipulation.

Maybe even in six hours. Of course nothing will come of it. The people ultimately in charge of oversight are the ones doing it.
