_ Trump posted a message to his followers just before pausing the

Trump may have accidentally confessed to insider trading and market
manipulation on Truth Social. 

“THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!! DJT,” the president wrote
[[link removed]] on
Wednesday, a mere four hours before announcing a 90-day pause
[[link removed]] on most
retaliatory tariffs except for China, yet another market-shocking
announcement that caused stocks to shoot up. 

Insider trading is a very illegal practice that involves using special
or private information to give yourself an advantage in buying and
selling stocks. Someone with knowledge of an economic policy change
that would cause the markets to shoot back up would be posting about
how great a time it is to buy right before the policy change happened.
This particular situation looks like the opposite of a pump and dump:
a poop and scoop

This is when an exclusive group of people with private knowledge do
whatever they can to drive stock prices down—like announcing
debilitating global tariffs—and then buy stocks up strategically
before the price goes up again. And with this administration, the
corruption is completely out in the open. 

“Trump is creating giant market fluctuations with his on-again,
off-again tariffs. These constant gyrations in policy provide
dangerous opportunities for insider trading,” Senator Adam
Schiff wrote on X
[[link removed]]. “Who in
the administration knew about Trump’s latest tariff flip flop ahead
of time? Did anyone buy or sell  stocks, and profit at the public’s
expense? I’m writing to the White House—the public has a right to
know.”

“Trump’s Truth Social now basically promotes veiled insider
trading on upcoming announcements,” wrote
[[link removed]] health and
economics expert Eric Feigl-Ding. “Trump’s benefactors are
gleefully watching.”

_The __New York Times_’ Andrew Ross Sorkin called it
[[link removed]] two days
ago on CNBC. 

“Given what the government’s been doing, and what this
administration’s been doing, it would not shock me—and I hate to
speculate—if we were to find out that a whole bunch of people who
work in Washington as our elected leaders … ultimately sold stocks
last week, or potentially worse than that, shorted the market.” 

The Trump administration—after crashing the global stock market and
eroding U.S. legitimacy—is attempting to spin this as a win. 

“Many of you in the media clearly missed _The Art of the Deal,_”
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said
