I'm sure this will be a talking point for the next couple years. "I caused the biggest surge in the stock market in 5 years."

Like if the president had posted that “now is a great time to buy DJT” 15 minutes before announcing the pause?

Actually you did have advance warning because there has been several days of wall-to-wall finance bro and republican heads on TV saying the tariffs were batshit crazy. Under those conditions there are only two outcomes: 1. the tariffs were rolled back or 2. Trump is removed from office (and the tariffs rolled back).

By the same token, 24 hours and a tweet can have it all come crashing down once again. Nothing is real anymore.

The first order fraud would be market manipulation run by the commander in chief.

The second order play would be for Trump to tip his associates off that he was going to do this and let them profit handsomely from the bump. Congratulations Mr President: your lackies love you because they profited from fraud but moreover you now have grade A kompromat on all of them in the form of your Signal chat records showing they were complicit in market fraud!

Remember how every other President put their assets into a blind trust?

Shit like this is why! It deterred them from firebombing the entire goddamn economy to make a buck for their friends and followers!
