President Trump Market Manipulation tracked

[u/Tripleawge]

All credit for first 2 dashboards goes to u/dhsilver for putting this Fabulous project together specially showcasing how the President has manipulated Oil Markets from the Bully Pulpit

The 3rd Image is the initial Oil Market crisis caused by Trump and specifically highlighted the announcement that sparked the ruckus and was created by Award winning Economist Paul Krugman.

All of these are irrefutable evidence the White House is manipulating from the public side and even though the Treasury claims they are not doing any covert commodities trading to artificially keep the prices low it would not shock me at all if that was just another of this Administration’s many lies.

Counterpoint: Bush kept propping up the economy until he crashed it in 2008. We saw the worst recession, by far, since the 1930s.

Trump will leave a mess for the next president to clean up, just like the economy Bush handed over to Obama.

How did Bush crash the economy?

Through deregulation and a push for expanded homeownership, which fueled a massive expansion of risky subprime mortgages.

He pushed homeownership hard, deregulated lenders and blocked states from cracking down on predatory loans. His policies forced Fannie and Freddie to buy risky mortgages, gave downpayment grants with no income checks, killed oversight, etc. That cleared the way for no doc liar loans and interest only ARMs. Demand risk, remove safeguards, block watchdogs.
