Anyone else think that someone in the WH might be manipulating the markets? Wouldn't put it past him and his cohorts.

It's a better way to make a killing than fishy real-estate deals. And exactly who would investigate/prosecute?

1. Here:

S&P 500
-1.35%
Dow
-1.26%
Nasdaq
-1.55%

[question everything]

2. Did he brag about the rise last Friday?

3. His buddies sold high, so he tweets some nonsense to lower the prices

so they can buy low

4. The WH is

putting its paws on the pulse of the markets and leaking propaganda to boast the fortunes of the entire rump team. Republicans want their ROI and have had their hands out or in our pockets for decades. imo

[Apple Fritter]

5. I am fearful of an economic *bloop*

[not fooled]

6. red don likes chaos

sooner or later, he will drive this country off the cliff. He is compelled to f*** things up. It's in his nature.

8. He must be enjoying himself today.

7. Of course it is minipulation.

The markets have been rising on mostly low-volume trading. That creates a situation where a sell-off can happen in the blink of an eye. Analysts worth their salt have been warning about this for awhile.

China has us by the balls, so this Dotard sabre rattling is just a gimme to his hedge fund buddies.

9. I bet Cheeto sold short like crazy in the days prior

Everything's a racket to that man.
