In 2016, Trump put all his holdings into a blind trust. I assume he did the same thing for 2024.

Trump has a DOJ, and it’s bigger than yours, Tish.

How can it be insider trading when President Trump’s statement “buy” was made in reaction to (i.e. after) the markets actions?

‘ How can it be insider trading when President Trump’s statement “buy” was made in reaction to (i.e. after) the markets actions?’

That’s an easy one.

Because a few hours later he announced a suspension of the tariffs that caused the market to tank in the first place.

A typical blind trust would have an independent trustee in charge who would remove conflicts of interest and any other perceived grievances. His blind trust is controlled by Donald Trump Jr, not exactly a independent actor.

Only problem Fuzz Obama did the same thing in 09 when he got tipped off that Bank of England was initiating Qe a few days later. He said and I quote now might be a good time to buy some stock. Pretty much the exact thing Trump did.

I hope this lawfare becomes so absurd and overblown, Americans lose all trust in the court system and judges. We’re 70% there already.

I hope it becomes bad enough that Americans will demand a return to limited, Constitutional principles and very narrow latitude for judges.

So insider trading would have had to happen within those few hours. It should be pretty easy for her or anybody else to find out whether Trump bought a bunch of stocks in that few-hour window.

Most likely Trump said what he did to try to get the stock market up. If a bunch of people had bought stocks, realizing you have to buy low and sell high, the stocks would have gone up and then it would no longer be a good time to buy.

Another thing is that stocks were going to go up whether or not the tariffs were placed on hold, because Trump had made the point and other countries were listening and lining up to negotiate which was the whole point of threatening tariffs all along. As long as other countries were taking the threat seriously and coming to the table, Trump was gonna negotiate in such a way to help America thrive. The lowest point was always gonna be the point at which there was doubt about what would happen. Those who trust Trump’s financial advice would have known that anyway, and would have trusted that whatever he did would cause the economy to thrive - so the economy had reached its low point and was going to get better as Trump’s plans worked their way through.

This is gonna be good! I want to see that fat-azz chimp attempt to go after PDJT and his administration WHILE HE IS PRESIDENT. That’s a lot different scene than the klown show she put on with sleazy judge Engoron. Clueless beyotch won’t know what hit her when this judicial IED she’s putting together blows up in her hands, and SHE is on the receiving end of “rough justice”...

Remember, though, how we all cheered when Miz James went after Pelosi, Schumer and all the Democrats in the legislature for THEIR Insider Trading?

It looks like she violated the law she accused Trump of breaking, that’s a shame.
