Manipulation of the market— manipulating trade volume to artificially inflate or deflate a stock's price is, in fact, illegal.

I must’ve missed his speeches where he said to rip off small time, investors and enrich my wealthy friends within insider trading. Was that one of those rallies where he weaves?

Wow voice transcription is terrible.

It’s not insider trading if you tell the whole world to do it. You do understand that, right? If Trump says “I’m about to make a big deal with China next week” tomorrow and people put money in the market right after the announcement is that insider trading?! Ridiculous reaching here. Dems are obviously butt hurt that Trump has his mojo back and is going to skyrocket in the polls after yesterday. People love risk takers and strong leaders. Sorry you all are led by mopey losers like Chuck Schumer.

What is it with right wingers and their obsession with this phrase?

All they have are lies, stupid phrases, and name calling. Cult 47

Pelosi doesn't lead the party.

Facts matter.

The new law is to ban ALL trading, not insider trading.


Congress has never been exempted from insider trading laws.
Congress passed additional laws in 2012 to specifically target Congressional trading more than other people.

Enforcement is weak, but that's an Executive problem.

And yet the leaders of all the Wall Street banking firms are like “we definitely support him but we didn’t take him literally or seriously.”

Yeah, the uncertainty disrupts the global market and shakes confidence in the US, but also makes his inner circle of criminals rich.

Insider trading gets prison time. Call your reps, everyone.

A government ethics and corruption expert says that Trump's actions would ordinarily trigger an investigation by the SEC. But apparently not in Trump's America.

Kathleen Clark, a professor focusing on government ethics and corruption at the Washington University School of Law in St. Louis, said Mr. Trump’s actions “would ordinarily trigger an investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission.”

Such investigators would be looking for evidence that Mr. Trump knew he was going to make an announcement that would move the market and then provided a clue to his followers, Ms. Clark said.

“If we still had a rule of law, a robust system for the rule of law, it would be investigated,” she said.

In a statement, the S.E.C., which reviews possible violations of federal securities laws, declined to respond to questions about Mr. Trump’s post.

It was just investment savvy . . . . right.

Trade volume goes up as Trump publicly says now is a good time to buy.

It’s a popular insult with lower middle class in rural Pennsylvania. Which is Trump’s mark.

Butt hurt started with the liberals kids a decade ago.

Just making $hit up as MAGA does. This was common in the 90s in rural PA. Guessing you’re a Greensburg Gen Xer who’s a bit uncomfortable that we see you so clearly.
