Is Trump using Twitter economic announcements to manipulate the stock market and make

millions for his friends and family?

Every wild swing in stocks over the past few weeks has been caused this way.

Tariffs on steels and aluminum! Stocks tank.

Well, just China. 12th on the importer list. Stocks soar!

Huge new tariffs on China goods of all kinds. Stocks tank.

No worries, opening talks with China on trade in general, tariffs negotiable. Stocks soar!

Am I crazy to accuse a known mobster of using a once respected Bully Pulpit for profit?

I think not!

..they can also loose their shirt. Don't think much about it since I buy and hold at this stage of my life. I can't help but remember that historically large swings in the Stock Market are often harbingers of recessions/depressions.

now the trick is to find who (besides Putin) has control of the puppet's strings. Trump was only recently toilet trained and that's sill his biggest ever intellectual achievement.
