President Donny Declares It’s a Great Time To Buy
Can an American president manipulate the stock market?
A trade war was declared! The stock market was in free fall. Shedding trillions of dollars. Get ready for a recession! Then President Donny said, go and invest in the stock market! He posted to Truth Social. It was a great time to buy. Then he announced a 90-day pause in his tariffs except for China. And the stock market rebounded. Rallied and surged.
Did Donny Trump manipulate the stock market? Is he the Tariff Fairy? Donny has magical powers over the stock market?
The White House defended the post. It will “reassure the markets and Americans about their economic security.”
We call BS!
Who got the heads-up? Did allies of the White House trade on advance knowledge of the tariff pause?
Democrats are calling for an investigation for alleged insider trading.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren wants the SEC to investigate President Trump’s regime.
She wants a “sweeping review of all securities trades” by Federal officials. To determine if they violated insider trading laws.
