Trump is creating the pump and dump economy. He's making the stock market look like a meme coin
to be fair stock market has been largely meme stocks for a while now, it's all sentiment driven rather than based on anything tangible companies produce
It's called fictitious capital for a reason, lmao
🌎🧑🚀🔫👨🚀
As long as it stays a big dump, small pump the world wins out in the end
I really wish I could believe that these stock market shenanigans being laid bare as a public spectacle will bring class consciousness to a lot of people who otherwise wouldn't have it, but deep down I know that chuds will just chalk it up to another lib-owning moment and libs will temporarily increase the frequency that they walk around holding bazingaesque signs while disowning anyone who does $1 of property damage.
I literally predicted this to fucking everyone and they were like 'no there is no way he would do that'. He's a con artist who has never been punished for any of the cons that he pulled, why wouldn't he do that? Who is going to punish him?
Chuds are so fucking stupid, here it is plain as day it's just regular old insider trading, but with a twist, shorting the market on a national scale to get trump and co. richer and yet to them it's 4d chess to make america great again.
Trump could literally shit on everyone in that room + chuds everywhere else and they'll still grovel and beg for more from him.
Of course lol
The weakness of a market reaction to these tariffs makes it look like the insiders were a broad based group of financial captains.
I was just saying to a coworker yesterday that it's just fraud and everyone in the know is going to make money on this...
Nothing about this is surprising or new, it is the major perk to being an elected official.
Nancy pelosi’s a master in this shit, don’t let people make this a Republican issue. You’ll get more of the same handwringing from liberals talking about corruption which distracts us from the actual problem (i.e. Dems acting sooooo concerned and doing nothing about it)
It's a big club and you ain't in it.
"...and he made $900 miyyon". The way he mispronounces it, like he's so tired of saying "million" all the time (tfw it's not a billion), he slurs out the second syllable
maybe he's just practicing his Spanish
Oh boy thank goodness people will start complaining about the gubmint robbing them of their 401K in plain sight
Trump's billionaire friends in this video are Charles Schwab and Roger Penske.
Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
