It would be very VERY interesting indeed to see just what stocks and shares and companies DT is purchasing while he has made stock prices low, right before her paused the tariffs again for 90 days, this is crystal clear market manipulation for a purpose, news agencies need to expose what that purpose is.

China raises tariffs on U.S. goods to 84% as trade war escalatesThe Japan Times

Absolutely it is market manipulation, but perhaps not as intentional as some think (e.g., thoughts of insider trading, etc.)—

Trump’s dramatic tariff actions really did move #markets dramatically because of the #USA ‘s place in the world financial system and world #trade.

Also, I read that hedge funds have been making dramatic market moves related to tariff-related market sentiment.

And much of the trading market (which, imo, had been overhyped anyway), is driven by sentiment.

Lol… apparently the 90-day pause was his plan all along now 😉
(even though he had said before that there would be “no pause” on his tariffs)

Today he claimed it was his plan all along because, “You have to have flexibility,” and talked about how financial markets change.

He seems to be patting himself on the back for the markets going up some w/ his 90-day pause announcement after he caused them to plummet for days w/ his dramatic tariff action.
