        Yuppers. It’s market manipulation with a side of insider trading. He had better be charged when he leaves office.

              True, my main focus has been tesla the past years, but I shouldve meantioned the whole market this time.

    Isn’t it patently obvious?

    Trump’s like, oh, I’ve got a genius idea, let me tweet about it. tweets “Now is a good time to buy!”

    Then a few *hours later he tweets he is lowering tariffs to a 10% baseline.

      And just like that stocks are rising again. Trump and his closer circle commited the biggest case of insider trade in history right now and his top trade official wasn’t part of it apparently.
