It would be absolutely amazing if there was no insider trading among Trump’s band of slimeballs.

Wait, Marge "Dumb as a rock" T. Greene made a killing on "Restoration Hardware" (that I can assure you she never even heard of)" stock? Def insider trading. She is one person I would love to see locked up. Escorted out in handcuffs. Would be glorious. Go Tish.

Keep in mind, the day before Trump made his "pause" announcement, there was a "rumor" that he would pause the tariffs. The rumor sent the market soaring before falling again as the Administration and Republicans claimed it was "fake news." Obviously, it wasn't fake news, it was a "trial balloon."

He paused the tariffs because leaders of other countries were going to list billions , possibly trillions in US bonds for sale.

It would mean the US dollar had no value.

They all said fuck you and called his on his bullshit unjustified tariffs .

He blinked.

Thank PM Carney, Macron, Starmer, EU, Japan, China.

Fvk Trump!!!

Thanks for this, Tristan! I wrote to my two Republican senators and my Republican representative about this, asking them to support a thorough investigation. I have no hope that it will be done, but I feel I have to do my part to keep up the pressure on elected officials.

They should probe both sides so Trump can't declare prejudice. Root out all the whoremongers.

This was blatant! Even I could see the manipulation that occurred, he should never have sent that post to buy.

How much more obvious could Cockwomble have been! He said ‘Buy’ so that’s what they did. Insider Trading at its most obvious!

Yes, Yes, Yes, - Force them to spend time and money on attorneys and drag their rich asses through whatever jurisprudence we can.

There is absolutely no downside to NY AG pursuing this that I can see, whether or no penalties can eventually be sustained. But then, I have no issue with "weaponizing" the rule of law when an investigation is as well predicated as this..Trump was openly gloating about how much his buddies had made. Make them all respond to process. It will keep them busy and keep the story alive.

Great article Tristan, thank you.....I'm glad to get a little glimmer of hope that the rule of law is still alive.

Yes, but the message should be very basic if the average Trump supporter is going to be moved away from blind obedience to a man who's brilliantly portrayed himself as the victim of a wealthy, articulate (read "arrogant") party. Without a clear, simple message, such as "he opened up your wallet and stole your money," charging Trump and his cronies with insider trading could add to the myth that he's gaming the system. His supporters love that about him and they must be shown how it's hurting them.
