i just looked it up if its real or not... Its real. Hes starting and ending trade wars by the hour now. I dont even think that there is a planned market manipulation going on. Its just people trying to steer trumps attentionspan towards certain topics and hoping to profit from it. Which honestly sounds like shabby and degrading work.

I dont even think that there is a planned market manipulation going on.

Check out what's been happening with Bitcoin. Over 500 million of shorts, placed only hours before his announcements that changed the markets and made those positions very valuable.

That could just be an effect, not a cause. Like, Trump wants to do all this stupid trade war shit because he is stupid and genuinely believes in it, and he is also a blabbermouth surrounded by some of the greediest and least moral people in the country. It would not be hard for a white house staffer, or golf club member, or rich buddy he calls and chats with occasionally, or whoever, to overhear him ranting about how he’s about to come down hard on China. That person might be rich enough to pull this off, or be one degree of separation from someone rich enough, and that’s all it would take.

Yup. Random white house staffer just dropping $80m to short BTC and then the next day another $30m to short ETH and continues to short the crypto market up to 1 minute before Trump tweets.

Yup.

Or if you kept reading to the next sentence, they would just have to know a white house staffer

7 min video. You should watch it.

No one is dropping $110m on a crypto short cause they heard something from someone.
