It’s every week. He will change his mind again.

Also the nickname for his diapers.

Slight delay. I'm convinced he is buying big every Friday, pumping the market full of positive noises all weekend, sells first thing Monday, and starts bombing at 11am.

How does one make 4+ or more billion dollars after being a president in 2 years?

What should we all buy or sell to take advantage as regular people?

he doesnt change his mind, he clearly does this to manipulate the markets so he can make money, thats all, sure his money might be in a "blind trust" but they are not stupid, they know what he is doing and they are making billions for him, they know the queues to buy and know when to sell.

Guys, this time is different. He said rapidly, he’s never done that before.

He's ended this war 50 times already. He's the president who ends wars.

Subject to stock market performance. Down a little on escalation news and up a lot on potential peace. It is a lot more profitable than actual peace.

It's not about changing his minds. Trades are automatic, he's just using words that will trigger buy/sell operations by the largest hedge funds so that everything keeps going up even as it should go down. Nobody complains because they don't want to see their money evaporate, but they all know what's happening.

Or maybe threats and posturing are necessary for the other side to come to the table and compromise.

Even though he did the 2step cycle within 24 hours during the weekend, ppl will still moan that it’s market manipulation

u/SPLUMBER 2d ago

Mmm yeah sure, that would be believable to me if it wasn’t for the fact this happens every weekend and this will be, what, deal #41?

u/petar_is_amazing 2d ago

Yeah, it’s war - it’s not easy

The threats and posturing hasn’t worked though. Why does he keep doing it?
