Scarborough: SEC Should be “Coming After” Trump for Talking Down Amazon Stock
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 04/05/2018 4:34:42 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Now that the liberal media has apparently hit a dry hole in its effort to make a collusion case against President Trump, the MSM is going to have to get more creative in accusing him of other misdeeds.

Joe Scarborough has come up with an innovative idea: charge President Trump with market manipulation for talking down Amazon’s stock price.

On today’s Morning Joe, Scarborough said that President Trump:

“lies about [Amazon], causes its stock to go down. I’ve watched enough episodes of Billions to know that if you’ve spread lies about a company or product to cause its stock prices to go down . . . the SEC should be coming after you.”

But having Obama openly claim to want to put the coal business out of business was perfectly okay. Geez, do these media whores even think for a moment about what comes out of their mouths?

Bezos also has responsibility in this, and has essentially failed his stockholders by politicizing his company. To be honest, I think stockholders have a right to sue any CEO who diminishes the value of their holdings by politicizing a corporation to reflect the personal views of that CEO. If your company is held privately, by all means you have the right to politicize it as you see fit. On the other hand, if your company is financed by public trading, you don't have that right.

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

So now that Matt Lauer is gone when will the Fake News practitioners at NBC be terminating the contract of Phil Griffin? And will they terminate low ratings Joe Scarborough based on the “unsolved mystery” that took place in Florida years ago? Investigate!

And under what law would that be?

There is nothing like a President that publically vocalizes his thoughts in order to manipulate public and private opinion, they can’t stand him because he snookers them every time.

The big internet monopolies are due for a haircut. High and tight.

ScarBLOW and the ditzy blond do nothing but waste airtime for those who have nothing better to do than waste their own time.

The collusion hole hasn't been tapped out yet. See Wikileaks of DNC email. That phony story hasn;t come close to being debunked.

And now also Mueller questioning Russians directly, about their contact with Trump.

Accusations and insinuations without evidence have an infinite lifespan.

Morning Shmoe must not remember Obama going after the U.S. oil and gas industry. But who watches him and his plastic mistress anyway.

Around 60% of Amazon’s shares are held by institutions. And, IIRC, Bezos and three of his buds are the 4 largest individual shareholders. I don’t think Bezos is too worried about a shareholder uprising. More’s the pity.

YAWN, Trump phony crime of the week.

It's WAY past the point that the Establishment Media has less credibility than The Onion.

Why would anyone watch someone who is saying these things to keep his job?

Perhaps he should enumerate these “lies” that Mr. Trump has uttered about Amazon.

No, Clinton said Bush I presided over the “Worst recession since the Great Depression”.

http://articles.baltimoresun.com/1992-07-28/news/1992210077_1_clinton-welfare-reform-urban-league

Obama said Bush II “drove the economy into a ditch”.

It’s hard to keep up with democrat lies!

Scarborough: SEC Should be “Coming After” Trump for Talking Down

Only if Trump has made money by shorting Amazon stock, which I don't believe is the case.

Having said that, using the power of the presidency to carry out a vendetta against Bezos and Amazon, or any other company which is doing noting illegal is flat out wrong.

Yes, of course. After all, a democrat made that statement so there can't be anything wrong with it...

Scarborough is right about what Trump is doing...

Okay, I guess. Will you be kind enough to enumerate the lies that the president has told about Amazon?
