I think the Trump Crime family shorted the market last week and made millions today and this week

Now control the SEC so the privileged won't get investigated for insider trading.

That's how you devolve into a 3rd world country by the way. I've lived in 3rd world countries and seen this over and over again. That's why 3rd world country stock markets don't go up - because locals and international investors have a distrust in them. Locals know insider trading is rampant.

Once this kind of corruption is accepted in society, everyone will need corruption in order to stay ahead.

I hope you’re right as I’m betting on the short as well. Made a crap load on TSLQ a while back.

I went from a low risk investor to betting on US doing stupid stuff and stated making real money. Cognitive dissonance investment I think.

I wish I had the guts to do that. Instead I stayed in my diversified portfolio. :(

Honestly I thought the billionaires would keep Trump in check as they want number to go up, so I bet on that. Hindsight is always 20/20 though :(

Elon Musk directly benefits from this also, so...

I'm not sure about that, he will be importing a lot of parts for his cars.

If you think Trump won't have exemptions for his friends, I have some of his memecoins to sell you.

"These specific parts from these companies from these countries receive 0% tariffs".

He doesn't care about Tesla anymore. He's making some fat money out of AI, SpaceX is a money printing machine now that he's got the ear of Trump and he's spending almost all his daytime (and nightime) hours shitposting and boosting racists on twitter.

> he will be importing a lot of parts for his cars.

How doesn’t need to make as many of them anymore, so that’s a saving.
