I believe now that Trump was ABSOLUTELY nudging people to buy his stock — DJT — HE WROTE “DJT” in the Truth Social post this morning before he announced his tariff pause.

His stock was crashing! Now it is up significantly.

Holy crap that is some ripe #corruption .

It was clear trump was whipsawing the markets, and I am glad I procrastinated and did not dump my stocks. Still down. We are not out of the woods yet until the China-US tarrif war stops.

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.

Trump is taking a victory lap now like he already won his trade war

The market is only rallying because of his 90-day pause.

Trump announced a 90-day tariff pause on countries that do not retaliate against the tariffs he first put on them on ‘Liberation Day’ (per Bloomberg)

— which is probably why the US market is rallying up some today and the VIX has gone down some

Facing a global market meltdown, President Donald Trump on Wednesday abruptly backed down on his tariffs on most nations for 90 days, but raised the tax rate on Chinese imports to 125%. FRANCE 24's Fraser Jackson reports from Washington.

The #EU will launch its first countermeasures against #Trump's tariffs next week, the bloc's members agreed on Wed, joining #China & #Canada in retaliating & escalating a global #trade conflict.

The approval came on the day that Trump's "reciprocal" tariffs on the EU & dozens of countries took effect, including massive 104% duties on China, extending his tariff onslaught & spurring more widespread selling across #markets.
