The market surge added over $300 billion to the collective wealth of the world’s top billionaires in a matter of hours, according to Bloomberg. Shortly before announcing the tariff pause, Trump posted to his social media platform that it is a “great time to buy” stocks, prompting accusations of market manipulation.
A video clip of U.S. President Donald Trump openly boasting about enriching his billionaire friends is drawing outrage as the administration faces growing scrutiny for possible market manipulation and insider trading in the aftermath of his partial tariff pause.
“He made two-and-a-half billion today,” Trump said in the Oval Office on Wednesday, just hours after announcing the pause, “and he made $900 million.”
“That’s not bad,” the president added.
Yes, but what did he DO for that money?
“Made a few phone calls. Moved money from one place to another. 2 1/2 billion, done.”

“And why exactly do you think you deserve a $70k salary Mr.WithoutMeYourAssemblyDepartmentCollapses? That’s an outrageous demand.”
Ha ha ha. I always feel like jumping off a bridge when people post money stuff on here. I made fucking about a 3rd of that busting my ass.
Making money from swings in the stock market is just stealing money from the people who didn’t choose as wisely.
Sell low buy high is my motto.

You might have a point about retail investors vs ‘smart money’ institutions - if you ignore retirement funds.
That’s who they’re actually stealing from via insider trading. Both individual 401(k)s and state/industry run like the California Public Employees fund are in the stock market. Good luck asking your employer for an old school pension, where your retirement is secured, regardless of market change. YOU now hold that risk.
The people who don’t have Bloomberg terminals or the myriad of subscription news/insight feeds, are the ones hurt the most by this kind of insider trading.
Guess whar, bootlicker? You’ll get stomped on just the same as the rest of us peons. Calling this anything but a manufactured transfer of wealth is foolish.
I fail to see how the word “stealing” could possibly be construed as anything positive. They are obviously using the system to prey on all the other people who put their money in the stock market.
My fault, it read as advocating for the wealth transfer. Stealing isn’t enough of a signal unfortunately, banks and lenders and brokers view retail investors with contempt.
There is nothing “choose wisely” about getting an insider tip from the President.
Yes, wisely was a poor choice of word. The intent of my post was on “stealing” not on “wisely”.
Even if the average American got the same tip, there is no way they could have made even close that much.
You need to be a soulless parasite, grifting and leeching for decades prior to have the capital to cash in that big from an insider tip.
