Did Trump have someone dump Lockheed stock before the Tweet to make Trump look powerful?

It bears asking. Make business fear him. Make Wall Street listen to his every tweet the way Romans used to read the entrails of animals.

Once insider trading is confirmed it's an open-and-shut path to conviction.

It was 260 pretweet. Except 6 minutes before the tweet it fell to 254. Now 252. It would be 252 no matter when the drop started. The market says that is its worth given Trump's view.

What this is is insider trading. Someone knew Trump was going to tweet and sold the stock to profit or reduce loss. That is a crime. Someone should go to prison.

I've worked for 'eccentric' wealthy people, all kinds of people hang around them trying to make a buck off them.

Trump seems easy to tweet at, manipulate and get him to make a stupid tweet a day later, then he forgets, flops around to some other focus. Some of his fellow Republicans are toying with, profit from their new presidents diarrhea of the tweets
