Anyone else remember when Congress made Carter sell his peanut farm?

It's not "insider trading" though. He is purposefully spouting gibberish that is (somehow!) making people make stupid trading decisions, driving the markets up and down in predictable ways. He will do stupid shit all week resulting in the markets dropping, then over the weekend spout some nonsense about Iran and everyone goes "the world is saved" and drives prices up and then the grifter sells off and makes a ton of profit.

Even if there was a law preventing this, he would still be doing it and Republicans would still be letting him.
colopctech
what if .. hear me out... he let an AI do it, and they programmed it with day trading stats ??
fubizdaddie
He'd score the same as any average human AND you would see random insane buys and sales which lost incredible amounts similar to how dumb people hook AI up to important stuff and it deletes everything. Do you genuinely think that if it was that easy, donald fucking trump would be the only person doing it? Do you believe that AI is so unknown that nobody else would have thought of that? Do you actually think AI is intelligent and capable of that?
genida
Zero chance he did that personally. Fucking team of ghouls behind his fat ass.

"Possible" insider trading... Gonna stop ya right there and ask the media to tighten up on that softening language. Jesus titty fucking christ, we all know they're milking the market illegally.

This is why I always say Trump is an "alleged" pedophile. I mean the fucker is in the files 35k times so its most likely true but he hasn't officially been charged/convicted yet.

Also: Trump lost the Iran war in 2026

Coming up next, trump stops disclosing earnings

Why would he? He's already granted himself immunity.

The fact nothing and nobody in our current system is preventing or punishing this blatant, evil corruption makes a revolution imperative. Voting alone won't fix this.

If I wanted to use the presidency to make as much money as possible, market manipulation would be the ideal way to go about it.
Grimmrog
So what? He did it and got richer no one stopped him nothing even happened to him at all? Pne can not say he did somwthing wrong when it had no negative consequences to him.

The only charge they could make stick on Al Capone was income tax evasion.
Maybe insider trading is the way to bring him down.
They only have to prove he instructed one purchase/sale be made.
And you know the control freak isn’t letting someone else do all the trading.
Theshnazzyone
Here's what I can't parse. It almost looks like he's losing money in the sales. Can he not even insider trade right?
psmith00
Trump doesn't need a strategy. he just picks a thing that looks like it can be subject to some bit of legislation, buys it, makes the legislative change to drive the price up and then dumps the stock. not a strategy, or conventional strategy at all. it's all behind the curtain control.
Samja192
I can tell you what his investment strategy is without even looking at any data. It's insider trading. That's it.

"Presidents are using this one simple trick to get R-I-C-H!! Now you can too!!"
TheVampireDante
He's getting deals blocked that wouldn't benefit him and forcing options that will, little bit above the standard shady stuff of the type.
BreakablePotato
Also unblocks deals after a bribe. And remember that it goes beyond investment. He happily kills a thousand people and burns a billion dollars just to get a few million, so long as the money burned is not his own.
