    Wow, I’m so shocked that an administration of thieves and grifters are helping other thieves and grifters.

      To a certain extent, honor among thieves typically only exists within their own group.

      The administration is setting things up so their grifters won’t get charged.

      If someone grifted them, the FBI would absolutely investigate them.

        So you’re assuming that no one in Trump’s circle made any trades in advance of yesterday’s tariff pause cancellation? Do you know the exponential return you could get on a short-term option when the underlying investment moves 20% in a day?

        They do

        But as it needs to go into their private pocket, they manipulate the market and already spare regulations, so they have a free go and cash in

        Wouldn’t help them, when the nation gets the many due to sane profit taxing and fraud investigations
