He's deliberately manipulating stock prices on a massive scale. And his administration controls the regulators who would be policing this.

End of story.

and even Trump's opposition is playing it off like he just did something stupid instead of something premeditated and audaciously criminal

Trump has been playing UNO all along, while everyone was convince he was playing 4d chess. This is pure market manipulation, all his friends just got 100x richer.

Oh boy! Can't wait for the functioning court system and laws to punish this obvious and ridiculously amateur insider trading!

It's beginning to feel more and more like the 90s in the Eastern bloc: An old, dying system for sale to those in the know and with the right corrupt connections.

This is probably the biggest market manipulation of the history. Yet Maga in the fox news comments are already calling him reasonable, smart and a deal genius. Who knew under-education could be such a powerful weapon.

He must be losing some supporters. Indecisive is not a good look for a leader at any level.

My sister: Do you watch any good series?

Me: Yeah, USA politics.

Unrealistic, surely no politician IRL would do this, right?

Right?

And he gets rewarded after each step.

Which decision, this time?

He paused his tarrifs for 90 days for all countries except China, so I believe we are in the reverse stupid decision step.

His pause isn't really going to fix all the damage that has occured. The rest of the world will continue to divest, but maybe just slower now.

he paused them except he left the 10% base tariff in place so that the tariffs are still happening

IF (yes, I know that’s a big if) we somehow regain control of the government and somehow overthrow Dictator Cheeto, can we send him and all his cronies to the El Salvador prison? Or better yet, find an uninhabited island and send them there with explicit rules for them not being able to leave.

Did he faced any consequence for attempting a coup in 2021? Here's your answer.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Agreed. But a boy can dream.

I have a nice bottle sitting here and I'm just waiting for this dick to die to pop it up.
