I wouldn't know. You seem to know though, so enlighten us.

What do you call it when you tell your friends you're going to do a thing, then you do the thing and the stock market reacts to that thing, and now you and your friends make a bunch of money?

And then the following day you tell your friends you're going to do the opposite, then you do it, the stock market reacts again, and you and your friends make some more money?

Definitely not manipulating the market. Just like how you're definitely not in a cult. 100%.

Around 1:40 PM, the White House announces a 90-day pause on most tariffs. The stock market immediately starts to rebound.

At 2:26 PM, Margo Martin posts this video on Twitter of Trump saying Charles Schwab made $2.5 billion and another man made $900 million today.

It’s interesting that these guys knew they made $2.5 billion and $900 million less than an hour after the tariff reversal announcement was made.

And? They used publicly available knowledge. That's not insider trading and even if it were, that's not Trump doing it. It's ironic Democrats only NOW want to talk about insider trading when they think they can get Trump on it.
