Coincidence or #corruption?

[Vidéo] Révolte historique : jusqu'où iront les Serbes pour leur liberté ?
Grève générale, universités occupées, rues bloquées… Depuis novembre dernier, la Serbie est secouée par un mouvement de contestation inédit. Il fait suite à l’effondrement du auvent de la gare de Novi Sad - deuxième ville du pays - qui a causé la mort de…

6/ unsurprisingly it turns out that call option volume (call options are bets that stocks will go up) rose ~1,000% in the moments immediately preceding Trump's announcement that he was going to suspend his tariff policy.
i would consider that extremely conclusive proof that someone on the trump team is engaging in large scale insider trading based on their knowledge of what trump is about to say about tariffs and yet somehow I doubt that the #SEC is going to get to the bottom of who is responsible.
Considering resuming my relationship with my abuser.
(Where else would an investor put their money?)

4/ we already know that trump thinks nothing of abusing presidential powers in exchange for cash because he just pardoned a bunch of his donors (e.g. Nikola Motors scammer Trevor Milton) and dropped charges against all his new crypto biz partners (e.g. Justin Sun, a16z).
enriching his supporters w/insider trading opportunities is the same kind of mafia style "repayment"
perhaps trump’s donors were so loud in his ear complaining about all the money they just lost that trump decided to shut them up w/an opportunity to profit on history's largest (not an exaggeration!) insider trading opportunity.
or consider a scenario where #TeslaTakedown has put #ElonMusk financially on the ropes and badly in need of cash. does trump strike you as someone who wouldn't help a fellow grifter out if doing so only cost him some well timed tweets & market chaos?
3/ what’s different about this rally as compared to previous bear market rallies is that price moves right now are being driven *entirely* based on the moment to moment proclamations of a mad orange king drunk with power.
trump can easily (and IMHO just did) use this power to xfer massive amounts of retail suckers' money into the hands of Trump donors/friends/insiders etc. w/just a few steps.
[11am] privately inform donors you'll be announcing the cancellation of tariffs at 3pm
[11:01am] donors buy stonks
[2pm] tweet "GREAT TIME TO BUY", transforming donor trades from "insider trading crimes" to "trades based on public information"
[2:01pm] retail MAGA apes & other trump team members (republican congress, officials, etc) "buy the dip"
[3pm] suspend tariffs
[3:01pm] whole world apes in, mkt goes 
, insiders' profit massively from their trades.

I need to amend this—
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 .
Is this whole tariff thing just organised insider trading? Would be interesting to see which US politicians bought shares just before the announcement of the 90 day pause. #pol #corruption
We need a financial sleuth to see which members of Trump's circle were shorting the market before the tariffs
"To add to the uncertainty, [Trump] said he might consider exempting some US companies from the tariffs over the 90-day pause period. He said his thinking on this would be made “instinctively”"
"Instinctively"??
Does that mean based on the amount of flattery and bribes various CEOs give him?
@rbreich thanks for pointing out to US citizens that Trump's primary objective is to enrich himself and his cult followers, regardless of the damage they do to millions of people. I believe though that most of the rest of the world have mostly decided to find alternatives to the US bullying and bullshit. Your warning particularly applies to US citizens and some other deluded people. #tarrified #corruption #pumpanddump

There're so many concerns with the #TrumpMusk regime. At its core are corruption, nefariousness, lawlessness, & retribution.

The “best” part of Trump’s intentional stock turmoil is that he and all his criminal, billionaire, insider-trader buddies, who are in on the con, can sell off their holdings before the nosedive, buy during the intentionally engineered dip, and make a fuckton more money that they’ll continue to hoard.

The Russian money launderer / memecoin pump and dumper who just sent $25 million to Trump's #WorldLibertyFinancial crypto scam a few days ago, Andrei Grachev, just tweeted that "it is a crime szn bro" and "no crying in the casino".
Grachev's an old business partner of #JustinSun (Huobi Russia was reportedly involved in laundering money to facilitate the #UkraineWar) and his firm #DWFLabs is absolutely infamous for scamming even in the scam-riddled crypto space (no mean feat).
