    Trump and his circle have to be making billions shorting the market with this tariff sham he’s running every month.

    There’s nothing else that makes sense and he’s going to play this yoyo tariff game as long as it keeps moving markets. Only way it might stop is if one of these controlled dips gets away from him and the bottom falls out of the market completely.

      Do not attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence.

      I’m not saying these aren’t malicious people, but the explination that makes the most sense is that they are, in fact, that stupid.

        Stupidly malicious. Money is the main motivator and we’ve seen Trump do the dumbest shit to make it in the past, Trump steaks, Trump University, Trump Bibles etc.

        Repeatedly crashing the economy in order to short it is right up his alley.

        In a rational market that still adhered to fundamentals, sure. We are in the meme market era and have been for at least half a decade.

        Companies like GameStop that should have went extinct years ago are still running purely off delusion.
