Red is faster, so red boxes are fast money, right? 🤔

It's working as planned. Those with cash get to pick up stock at deep discounts. What's the problem?

It will. And those that knew what they were doing behind the scenes before the public knew probably pulled out way before the market saw what would happen.
Now they will have a feast while the normal joe has a crashed portfolio because it's not their day job to manage a stock portfolio.

Trump and his circle have to be making billions shorting the market with this tariff sham he's running every month.

There's nothing else that makes sense and he's going to play this yoyo tariff game as long as it keeps moving markets. Only way it might stop is if one of these controlled dips gets away from him and the bottom falls out of the market completely.

Do not attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence.

I'm not saying these aren't malicious people, but the explination that makes the most sense is that they are, in fact, that stupid.

Stupidly malicious. Money is the main motivator and we've seen Trump do the dumbest shit to make it in the past, Trump steaks, Trump University, Trump Bibles etc.

Repeatedly crashing the economy in order to short it is right up his alley.

I think that is well on it's way to happening

In a rational market that still adhered to fundamentals, sure. We are in the meme market era and have been for at least half a decade.

Companies like GameStop that should have went extinct years ago are still running purely off delusion.

These Cambodians were ripping us off but not on my watch. I'll make some great deals and soon we'll be living just like them. The finest corrugated iron shacks you've ever seen.

"Mr. President, can you explain the recent market plunge, and whether they were an intended effect of the reciprocal tariff plan?"

"The plunge? Fake news. There is no plunge, the only plunge is our plunge towards making America great again. The Democrats don't want it, they're selling off like crazy. Numbers never seen before. The tariffs are working, Canada is scared. Mexico is scared. Europe, China, Antarctica, all of them scared. They're nothing" without us and they know it. But the Democrats, the Democrats. Corrupt Democrats are trying to undermine the greatest tariffs plan America has ever seen. They're lying about the economy, tricking the banks to sell. But that's fine, it's fine. It's their loss, they want to lose. The real winners, Elon, Pete, and other real hardworking Americas know this. They buy.

To be fair I don't think the russians would conceive of such a plan. Anyone who would suggest it would have been laughed out of the room.

Fortunately, my company seems mostly immune to the news... because we're fully capable of tanking our own stock price, thank you very much!

Hang on to that $22.76 USD for a little while and you'll be surprised how much stock it will buy!

Isn't that the plan, though? Crash the economy, let the billionaires buy what's left of America in a fire sale.

Crashing the economy just as he planned. He wants to take us back to 1929.

Ha ha, it aired the very next day. "Shame about that president across the pond. Ooh, new sci-fi show!"

Got out in time with some profits still remaining. 👋 Now I‘m waiting for the upturn in four years.
