Hear ya
But Congress consistently creates bills that will manipulate the market before you or I know anything about it.
Blame Trump for destroying the market and the USD - but governmental insider trading has been going on for decades..... Only you don't hear about it until the sitting POTUS tweets about it like a goober.
With a salary of 175K our politicians sure know how to invest wisely and multiply their wealth exponentially.
Sno.People aren't talking about that stupid social media post to "buy"-- that's just what people are pointing at that is actually known. The real speculation is that there's all sorts of back-alley insider trading going on. Posting to the public that its a good time to buy might just be the only thing they have proof of and can pursue. There is stuff that went down before that truth social post was made:

I like to think that common folk would agree that anti-corruption laws would greatly benefit most people.
Tangent because I feel like ranting, my local mla (like a canadian state legislator) built a "community eco-heating building" to provide heat to local businesses in a business park. It was 100% tax payer funded and he owns 90% of the business park, the other 10% is owned by his business partner. I doubt he's even hiding the fact, no one around here even cares.

Reminds me of how corrupt Quebec provincial politics always is: The Videotron colosseum. Payed by taxpayers to get the NHL to form a hockey team in Quebec City again. 300 million in public funds spent, no hockey team and Videotron gets all profits. This was the ex-ceo of videotron got involved in politics.
The US republicans are seriously representing the government to the constituents. The town hall meeting havent been stellar for republicans in both chambers. The system was supposed to be you send your representive to congress to get your voice heard in assembly. Now its the exact opposite
I'm not one to believe in conspiracy theories, but here's a good one:
Trade wars and stock market manipulations are just BS antics to keep our greedy, money-obsessed asses distracted while ICE deports Hispanic people for no reason.
BallClapperThis isn’t petty shit. These things affect real people. Grow the fuck up.
I have friends, who are here legally on H1B visas, being told by their immigration lawyers to always carry proper immigration papers / identification on them right now.
One lives a few towns over from New Bedford where an ICE agent was filmed smashing in a car window with a hammer.

Nah, those things are different but both happening. The distraction was "if you're a republican you're ride or die". This is just the aftermath. And probably just the start...
It's wild going against a supreme court order in general but especially not. Our supreme court is pretty trash. Skecthy conservatives and them one of the worst humans alive in Clarens Thomas. Trump is going against Clarens Thomas, a man with 0 morals. Idk what a wild time to be alive I guess...

For the person who downvoted this - Here's what happened to an American citizen
Immigration officials in Tucson arrested a 19-year-old man from Albuquerque on April 8, saying he had entered the country illegally, before a judge dismissed his case on April 17.
19-year-old Jose Hermosillo, who is visiting Tucson from Albuquerque, says he was lost and walking near the Border Patrol headquarters when an agent arrested him for illegally entering the country. Hermosillo was not carrying identification.
Jemshegseth has once again leaked US war plans, you cant make this shit up. constant barrage of embarrassing ass news stories.
You guys keep saying that bit Hillary was sending emails. Why was that not investigated? Also Clinton body count? Coincidence? Obviously not! Im just kidding though, this is wild
Trump being mean and threatening to my boy JPow is absofuckinglutely unacceptable. Can’t wait to piss on the ashes of what once was a healthy American democracy. might go out and get my JPow tattoo after all
HypeBeastThere's so much that is wrong in this post. Literally a perfect example of propaganda. Holy shit.
It should be the capitalists that are rioting in the streets over this statement. The executive rigging the federal reserve to help bail out their own shitty decision making is just beyond the pale. That’s what they do in Communist china

Really hoping that the Fed stands strong here, the president has absolutely zero authority to change or influence the Fed and the decisions they make. At this point it feels like Trump is just seeing how far he can go before people stop being huge pussies and say no to him.

Last I heard Powell wasn’t having it, thankfully. But on a certain level Trump has already shit in the punch bowl on Fed independence because there’s nothing that they can do that won’t be scrutinized as pro Trump or anti Trump. Even If he wants to cut rates now he’s gotta weigh how it will be perceived.

Yeah it's wild, especially the blatant lies about the truth here, ironically on "truth social".

Seems like he won't give in, especially the more he gets berated for doing his job. The people at the fed are smart and know if Trump controls the fed, shit is gonna get dark for the US. It's nice to see a little bit of resistance this past week (Harvard, Powell, Supreme Court).

The fed operates outside of politics so yeah he'll be hated but he's gonna keep keeping on. That's the beauty of it since they can't be fired for political differences. They're gonna do their thing even as politicians shit all over them. The problem is Trump is complicating their mandate with his tariffs and inflammatory rhetoric. They're in quite the pickle since reducing rates is almost certain to contribute to inflation, which of course Trump's tariffs are set to worsen.
I am worried though if Trump manages to find a replacement next year who doesn't take that independence seriously and is a yes man.
Of all the things Trump is doing to destroy this nation and it's ideals, his actions on the financial system are the most concerning. We are in unprecedented times and I sure hope we come out OK.

GrandThingsNot to mention her "speaking out" was an anonymous OpEd that she wrote a year prior, but was doxxed and then arrested.
There a couple and one main website "Canary Mission" that are pro israel and doxing people they disagree with. It's already had fucked up impacts. I remember like 10 years ago when Israel ran that " I stand eith Israel campaign". I told people that eas a bad look and got a bunch of shit. Not It's pretty damn obvious. Also i have plenty of people I disagree with, I've never doxed anyone. Shit's so petty.
Regardless of ethnicity, religion, and politics I think a rational person would agree that things are pretty spicy over there and cloudy at best. You may not agree with someone standing up again the killing of Palestinians but I think a reasonable person could understand the argument. The fact that the "pro free speech" party "the left is about cancel culture if we sexually harass women" had been removing books, suing news outlets, kidnapping people for dissent. That speaks volumes.
It's just wild to watch unfold and see the same constitution carrying types, free speech is everything, flip flopping to fall in line with trump. What a wild wild time to be alive...
VTshredder69Lol. i mean look at the indexes. It's all just pump & dump mutual funds from the financial giants that move our markets now.
If you work in this administration and you don’t leave a billionaire you gotta be one of the biggest dummies there is.
They’ll have a closed door meeting with besset, start a rumor that tariffs may be ending, let the market pump for a day or so without responding to any questions and then say “Nope! Still on! Now there’s a 3000% tariff on solar panels!”
Lol. Tale as old as time though man. It's just at a higher level and public now with trump's big mouth.

"Purdy said the border agency has no record of Vo entering Canada at any “official port of entry.” Vo was arrested on a warrant issued under an immigration law. In 2024, the border agency removed more than 14,000 foreign nationals from Canada for violating the same law, according to Purdy."
"An Indiana man who fled to avoid serving a nine-month prison sentence for storming the U.S. Capitol was arrested in Canada this week on the fourth anniversary of the mob’s attack. Antony Vo was arrested “without incident” in Whistler, British Columbia, on Monday, said Canada Border Services Agency spokesperson Rebecca Purdy. Vo remained in custody on Thursday, according to an immigration lawyer who represents him."
lol you’re just a negative hater committing an ad hominem logical fallacy because you have no other rational response to some positive effect of his. TDS folks have made hating Trump such a part of their identity that anything remotely positive he does can’t be acknowledged and instead they only turn to hate. Probably serves as a defense mechanism for their ego or something
See for yourself. No violence or rioting ever happened at any time anywhere around me my anytime time in DC as confirmed under oath by the FBI case officer responsible for reviewing all the evidence they had.
It was a fedsurrection of the highest order to subvert a peaceful, democratic process by Congress to investigate election illegalities reported by multiple states in order to keep the pro-war establishment’s preferred players from scrutiny and in power.
Can you answer why Trump requested for there to be thousands of National Guard present on J6 to provide security but the General Milley and the heads of the Capitol grounds refused to invite them even though USCP Chief Stephen Sund made multiple requests for them while the head of DC commons Mayor Bowser refused any more than a paltry few hundred? https://x.com/ezraacohen/status/1859756644806296059?s=46 https://x.com/ezraacohen/status/1869685265134239843?s=46
You don’t think our military-industrial complex, as the premier agent in global regime change, wouldn’t use their assets to propagandize the world and impede the only pro-peace president in my lifetime that ended multiple wars and started no new wars? If your ego will allow it, consider the possibility that you’ve been brainwashed by the same media complex owned by TPTB that also lied us into Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Vietnam, etc.
