Bullshit! He just wanted to buy some defence stocks before starting more wars
This is just so they could go short on defense companies which have run up from Venezuela tensions. And so the grifting continues. Expect some gold on Trumps desk next week.
This administration will stop at nothing to maximize insider profit taking
Barron must have bought 0DTE puts..
The Pentagon has failed 8 Audits
I would go all in on defense stocks due to the situation in MN. Another country is going to get bombed to distract from the ICE chaos in MN
Absolutely ridiculous it is legal for the president to both own individual stocks and use his position to make public comments intended to drive a stock price up or down.
bs. Might be a little bit too far OTM, but might bite on LMT 550c 1/16 tomorrow, and scalp the bounce.
He’s just making shit up again.
This is another Epstein distraction
Is he smelling toast extra strong today or something?
Do you think he ever gets tired of hearing himself spouting lies?
BOO!
“Trump Says” has Zero value. Trump is danger to the whole world.
So…the president unilaterally controls the Securities and Exchange Comission? Got it…
Banning buybacks? Lmao. JPOW and the suits are really trying to tank the only thing keeping this market alive. Can’t wait to see the bloodbath at open tomorrow. 🚀🔥
