Yes! This is what I'm saying. I would be shocked if there wasn't a large circle of Trump associates getting the tips they need to short, cover, buy, sell and short again. Calling SEC!!
Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA):
"I'm writing to the White House to demand who knew in advance that the President was going to, once again, flip flop on tariffs. And are people cashing in? There is just all too much opportunity for people in the White House and the administration to be insider trading"

It’s unreal - the DOD deleted its page for Charles Calvin Rodgers, a Medal of Honor recipient who was wounded three times while defending against three assaults on his base in Vietnam. Now the URL includes “DEI Medal of Honor.” There’s something about Rodgers I don’t even have to tell you

All of the federal stats will be compromised or discontinued and instead of numbers, we will just get "BEST ECONOMY EVER!" pronouncements from the White House. Can you take that to Wall Street?

It takes one senator to block a nomination. Congress also has oversight authority. I do not want to see my wonderful reps and sens protesting in front of buildings. I want to see them using the full power of their positions to protect the U.S. government and all of its data.

So I wonder how many of Trump’s rich friends/henchmen just made a ton of money as a result of Trump's flip-flop on tariffs on Mexico? Kinda feels like Trump took a page out the playbook "Market Manipulation for Dummies."

It's working! Keep calling him Vice President Donald Trump!
CNN confirmed on-air just now that top Trump aides are furiously calling journalists to insist that Elon Musk has been following the orders of Trump rather than the other way around. As predicted, Trump is horrified and enraged at the idea that Musk is now seen as the President of the United States.
