As someone mentioned earlier, this reeks of a "pump and dump" scheme.
The fact that Trump pretended to be unaware of the effects of the threatened tariffs on the stock market is pretty indicative of him knowing exactly what the effects would be...

Yeah this actually makes the most sense. Like damn I didn't think about it before. I even saw the stocks plumet but I never thought he'd do it on purpose.. but then again. He is a felon
Me neither; not because he's better than that, but because I didn't think his ego would let him pretend to take the L. Jokes on me! It seems like his handlers and the billionaires he surrounds himself with are (just) smart enough to play his ego to their own advantage.
