Did he drive the market down jst to buy stuff cheap and the pump it back up?
Is he doing it again?
Is he sharp enough to pull it off?
All real questions.
Donald Trump told the world to ābe coolā as his sweeping import taxes took hold, tanking global markets and sending shockwaves through the U.S. economy.
Then, minutes after the opening bell on the New York Stock Exchange, Trump announced: āTHIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!ā
Four hours later, the president reversed course.
Social media erupted with accusations that the president played a reverse āpump and dumpā scheme with the American economy: driving stock prices down only to buy them up before prices rise again. Democratic Senator Adam Schiff is calling for an investigation into insider trading.
Trumpās surprise turn on Wednesday appeared to be news to the administrationās own trade representative, who was in the middle of testifying to a House committee, deflecting allegations that the president purposefully manipulated the markets.
āIf you came here knowing that ⦠these tariffs were going to be turned off, why didnāt you include that in your opening statement?
So whaddya think?
Did he blink? or did he just make a shitload of money while tanking our 401Ks?
