      I believe so, but they’re going to use the public tweet to argue that the tip was public. “It’s not insider trading if it’s all out in the open.”

      Mafioso shit.

      Insider trading is not illegal per se. It comes with various restrictions depending on who you are but they don’t apply to everybody.

      This is just corrupt as shit, which is seemingly perfectly allowable.

      Insider trading is where the one doing the trade has insider information. This “tweet” (“Truth”?) cannot be insider information by definition.

      Could Trump administration figures do insider trading on the basis of more explicit insider information? Absolutely. Does this message prove any of that? No.

      Plausible deniability - there was a public recommendation by a stable genius. Maybe people read his media site and follow his recommendations. Stranger things are happening every day

      And orangeboi made himself above the law

      Twice. Spit roasted.

      Tariffs feed paycheque to paycheque money from the 99% to the government, which is openly funneling it to the 1%.

      Meanwhile they’re manipulating the market on a global scale with the backing of the 0.01% and the wealth of the 99.99% as hostage, allowing them to effectively transfer the savings of the 99% to the 1%.

      And it’s just being allowed. These are the fucking bad guys in the movie building a spaceship ark for the elite instead of stopping the SharkWeekCano from destroying the galaxy and I guess everyone missed the messages in the movies to put it mildly.

      Reagan only said “trickle down economics “ because pee jokes offend.

      Edit: oh shit, I forgot that they’re also taking everyone’s public services with some kinda double-dong by gutting the IRS and firing the civil service. Also moving money upwards to those the IRS can’t even fight for the meager tax the elite won’t pay while taxes will rise at a local level for those that don’t want their towns to burn down or have schools. I guess it keeps the spit stable.
