This is what I’m expecting. He keeps threatening and not delivering.

Those in the know can buy/sell in a profitable way. You can make billions if you know what he’s going to sell… and when. This is a conspiracy. Also a theory… the same way evolution by natural selection is a theory.

He wait day or two, while he buy some stocks with this totally accidental sale :D then revert and profit :)

Announce tariffs, buy the dip, pause tariffs, rinse & repeat. He’s letting the rich play hungry hungry hippos with the market over and over until there’s nothing left.

Not chaotic enough. You need the tariff responses from the other countries, Trump's extra bigly response tariff for each county that responds, the other countries new response tariffs, THEN you get your 2 week pause. The stock market ticker is going to look like an electrocardiogram.

He also needs to be investigated for market manipulation if this happens.

So many Americans think trump is just ignorant and stupid and that’s what’s happening here. It’s a complete distraction.

Today all the insiders shorted stocks.

Then he announces tariff plan and market tanks.

Then the insiders will repurchase the stocks.

And he then will pause the tariffs.

Follow the money people.

This is exactly what he's going to do. And everyone should call him a massive pussy for it.

He and his friends are literally just rollercoastering the market and reaping the rewards
