Trump Manipulated The Market, And Regular Americans Paid The Price
All is going according to plan, that is, if you are a billionaire
Donald Trump just orchestrated one of the biggest heists in modern history.
For starters…
Trump was caught on a hot mic bragging that he had achieved the largest stock market gain of the century — despite him being the one who crashed the markets to begin with.
Here’s what he said when huddled with his economic advisors: “Up 2,500 points. Nobody has ever heard of it. Gotta be a record.”
In other words…
Trump purposely tanks the market with his tariffs, then immediately pulls them back to claim victory — even though the market is still several percentage points lower than when Biden left office.
Then…
After the stock market boom, Trump gleefully pointed at his rich friends and said: “He made $2.5 billion today, and he made $900 million. That’s not bad.”
Not bad — if you knew about the 90-day pause ahead of time.
