(6,746 posts)46. Agree. Think it's classic "poop and scoop" manipulation --
Poop and scoop occurs when a small group of informed people attempts to drive down a stock's price by spreading false information, rumors, and otherwise damaging information. They spread poop so they can then buy or "scoop" the stock at a lower price. They can purchase the stock at bargain prices if they're successful because the overall marketplace will have sold off the security and this causes the price to fall dramatically.
Poop and scoop" is generally frowned upon by securities exchange regulators and it can be prosecuted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Definitely intentional. The Trump Crime Syndicate doesn't miss a trick when it comes to stealing money.
