Threaten ever escalating tariffs and the market tanks. Then, back off as was done earlier today inspiring a rally in the markets during his rally in Israel. It’s pure meme market manipulation.

Keep in mind, Trump Inc. is betting bigly on the new stock exchange in TX. Which was originally going to be in Louisiana?

They have had to resort to this as the crapto portfolios have been moribund for several months except for a short bump when some new funds opened to replace the almost universally corrupt and incarcerated fund operators that preceded them. Rinse. Repeat.

I do notice that the take was almost what the cost of the hideous WH ballroom is expected to cost at $200 M.
