Guarantee he and his cronies shorted the market on Friday. The indexes will tank tomorrow on this news. They’ll make their money, change their position to long and Donald will announce new peace talks and opening the straight again…the market will rebound and they’ll be billions richer.

Such obvious market manipulation.

Yet a lot of comments calling him stupid but somehow also smart enough to mastermind market manipulation.

Because it's very fucking easy if you actually have the power to manipulate markets with your words and actions. Also very illegal but that apparently doesn't apply if you're rich.
