This is all just blatant market manipulation. Same thing he’s doing with crypto. Just trying to shake loose as much of the middle class as possible from the market.

I like to think that whomever he has been feeding tips to just lost all of their gains from the market manipulation because they bet it all on a pump with this delay and their calls are down 95%.

The only thing the stock market hates more than bad economic policy is economic uncertainty.

If you're the sort of person who likes to buy the dip, this will be an excellent opportunity, I imagine.

Though maybe avoid Tesla, not sure if it's going to recover.
