Showing Original Post only (View all)He's playing the market. [View all]
Twice now, maybe three times because it's hard to keep up with the amount of bullshit he's slinging, tRump has threatened tariffs and backed down on them at the last minute.
Each time, the market experienced a sell-off only to rebound on the backtracking. It's clear that he's shorting the market, and likely working with big traders, to make money on the rebound.
It happened again today and it's a travesty.
