    He has like 30 something felonies and openly admitted to rigging the voting computers. The man could commit murder on stage and still somehow continue being president.

    He made the announcement at 1:18, but there was a high volume spike in SPY at 1:02. He then introduced some friends, like Charles Schwab, in the white house later and said they had made billions. This crash was also the first time MTG bought stocks.

    Should be an SEC investigstion with actual consequences for once. Probably won’t be, but there should.

    100% he is making bank off this. So are his buddies. What DOGE was all about, setting up the US Gov’t to be fleeced as a cash cow for the crime family. We need these criminals removed and full security audit on our entire gov’t computer system. Every US citizen is currently at risk due to negligence but these fools. That doesn’t even cover the extensive list of civil rights violations and oh…you know, constitution violations. But it matters not unless the are actual consequences. But money makes those go away.

      According to my mom, this is a good thing because he’s helping regular people make money in the stock market.

      The MAGAs are actually cheering this because they think they’re being invited into the club, when he’s just brushing some crumbs off the table for them to fight over in the alley.

            “I get it, people are upset. It’s a big deal, a great deal, it might even be the biggest deal in the history of deals. The Democrats are mad about it, very mad. ‘He can’t do that,’ they say. They’re poor losers. They tried to make good deals like this. Tried many times. They failed, and they’re mad because I didn’t. I make the biggest, best deals. But their deals, those are no big deal. I get it, they’re mad. Mad that I did what they couldn’t. The Democrats lie, they say ‘President Trump, you can’t do that.’ But I could do it. I did do it, and I proved them wrong. Just like when I beat Biden in 2024. They said I couldn’t do it. I did it. Just like when I beat Hillary in 2020. I couldn’t do it, I did it. Just like with Obama, I did it. They keep saying I can’t do this or I can’t do that. They say it’s impossible to do these things. They say many things, most of them wrong. They don’t want to look bad, weak. The Democrats, Antifa, they’re weak, so they lie. They think everyone is weak, just like them. That’s fine, that’s fine. You see, they’re copying me now. They see a strong leader, very successful businessman, and they want to be one too. They copy me. They say what I say, do what I do, and they try to stop me. They want to be me, but they don’t want me to be me, so they lie and cheat. They rigged the economy, set it to collapse with forced ‘vaccines’ and wasteful D-E-I. I come here with my tremendous plan, going to make America great again. Bring all the business and jobs back. The Democrats cheat again, they go on CNN. They go on CNN, sell their stocks, rig the market. They didn’t think. Stocks are going to go up, way up. Numbers like you’ve never seen before. And they sold. The tariffs, I paused them. They thought they could cheat, and I turned it around. They lost big. Really big. Real Americans, we’re fine. Better than fine. The Democrats, they’re not fine. They lost, they’re mad. Only the Democrats are upset, it’s fine. Nobody should be upset about that. They played their hand and lost, and they’re mad. Don’t listen to them, they’ll get over it. They lie and they cheat, and they lose every time. We’re winning, winning big. So big. We’re going to win even bigger next week. 300% tariffs on Democrat businesses. No more foreign workers. More jobs for America.”

          If you plan to use it, you should know that there was a separate “good news”-event at that point in time. It would not surprise me if insider trading happened, but that spike could also be from the bond auction. As much as I want the US to lose their influence in the world, it’s important to not jump to conclusions for political reasons. The spike should be investigated properly, but at this point the US might be too corrupt for that to happen or have consequences.

      I bought the dip once, years ago. Made like, I donno. Couple hundred bucks. Sold all my crypto at the same time. That was cumulative with the other thing. Made a couple hundred bucks.

      I got a little lucky in that I filed my taxes on Sunday and made my 2024 IRA contributions then. Only some of the funds were available Monday but I was able to buy. I would’ve bought regardless of the price (I don’t really time things) but it worked out nicely.

    There was definitely a rumor that caused a market spike two days ago until the white house immediately called it “fake news” which the media took at Trump’s word as they always so gullibly do. Well as it turns, out, this “fake news” got the duration of the pause right to the exact number of days.

    Now everyone seems to be pretending they don’t remember that this happened just two days ago and I just don’t get it. Shouldn’t somebody be asking why some random people on Twitter seemed to know Trump’s plans in advance?

      Russians and everyone else out there who ever wanted a slice of the pie have been attacking our social discourse for decades, amplifying the worst voices on both sides of every single issue so that people tune out and stop caring. This is the known doctrine for undermining democracies.

      Most people right now STILL don’t care, at least not enough to have an opinion or be bothered to do anything. This is the result of deliberate sabotage against our nation and the number of people who really understand this is so small that it doesn’t matter, it won’t be enough. Even if this wave of corruption is ended tomorrow, there are thousands more oligarchs and grifters waiting in the halls to move right in.

      This is why countries need to make export tariffs in retaliation and leave them on during the chaos. Let the prices of everything in the US soar but allow them to collect none of it.
