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.”

Since the MSM has failed to pin collusion on Trump, they’re getting creative with other accusations.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Golly, I don’t think anyone has “talked down the economy” since Bush in 2000.

And both Politico and Washington Post say that President Trump is correct about the ownership and sweetheart deal.

But hey, if it gets you viewers, anything goes.

And it was candidate Bill Clinton who accused George H.W. of running the economy “into a ditch” when in fact it was expanding at a very healthy 4% rate.

Here’s that Politico article:

“Trump Is Right. It Is the Amazon Washington Post”

https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2018/04/04/trump-amazon-washington-post-jeff-bezos-217774

And here’s an article indicating Amazon is getting a sweetheart deal from the Post Office.

Although I’m opposed to accusing Scarborough of a serious crime without hard evidence, I have to admire the creativity of FReepers in working it into virtually any thread about him!

But telling the coal industry you’re going to put them out of business is okay....

Someone should compile a list of things such as this suggested be done to or about this president that have never been contemplated regarding any other in over a couple centuries.

A great opportunity for George Soros to make some money at Jeff Bezos’ expense.

Trump hates Bezos.
I’ve thought all along he’s been talking Amazon down.
It’s obvious.
Scarborough is right about what Trump is doing, but wrong about the SEC
getting involved.
The criminals are those who did the sweetheart deal with the Postal
Service.

I remember when Joke was an R and hated Clinton, the DUmmies would post articles about this young woman, and yell her name whenever Joke was covering a live event.

This post seems so DUmmie-like to me.
