Openly bragging about all the billions they made yesterday manipulating the markets. Fucking disgusting.

It’s not just our markets they’re manipulating. The entire global economy is getting thrashed by these fuckers.

Every single foreign government MUST SANCTION every one of these criminals.
INSIDER TRADING? I’m sure it’s just a coincidence…just two billionaires who happen to be stopping by to hang out with the President who manipulated the market to tank our 401Ks but made them millions & billions of dollars this morning. Just stopping in to say hi…

Anyone seen Chuck?
