Anyone tracking all of Trump’s family and his associates trades in the last 4 weeks?

Historically it’s a bitch to recover from implemented tariffs so yeah.. in a way these are gonna be here for a long time.

Even if he rescinds it tomorrow there’s so many nuances that will still cause prices to stay higher than they were last week.

Don Jr was telling everyone to buy the crypto dip on 2/25. Jared is all focused on his Gaza cash out. Baron is jerking off to videos of Andrew Tate and Melania is eating Russian mud pies again. Trump doesn’t even know what he’s doing with the economy anymore there’s no insiders making money on stocks anymore they’re all working on meme coin scams

He knows exactly what he’s doing.

He really doesn’t. He’s old and has a 1st grade reading level.

He lets an unelected African billionaire stand over him in the White House. He fell in to every trap Kamala set in their debates.

People give him way too much credit he’s literally just stupid

This. Trump isn't a master plan setter, he's a below-average idiot, and hell most politicians are pretty average, only a few are as clever as we like to believe. Sure sometimes you get a Bush Senior or an Obama, but then why would you be surprised that a Trump gets through ?

His handlers like Putin and Thiel are the smart ones

u/Salt_World Mar 04 '25

People even give Thiel too much credit (he thinks Curtis Yarvin is intelligent) but Putin is pretty clever.

Keep underestimating him and your goddamned country will be unrecognizable before summer. We’re practically there already.

Nobody said he can't destroy everything lol, they just said he's a moron and there's a good chance that there is no plan.
