Trump and Dump

Trump's sole goal in his second term is to rob the country blind while manipulating stocks higher so that the media and morons at large don't notice until it's too late. He is using one scam to hide another scam. So far, so good.

His plan is working great.

Last week we got an update on Trump's corruption for the past year and even MAGA acolytes were howling with outrage. Which is the key point I made last week - all of Trump's corruption will only begin to matter to his base when markets implode. What I call morality by margin call.

The most interesting piece of REAL news we received was that Trump made MASSIVE trades ahead of his trade war ceasefire last April 2025. Which means that Trump first put out the "Liberation Day" tariff announcement on April 1st that tanked markets. Then at the lows he bought stocks. And a day after that he put out the SECOND announcement, pausing the April 1st tariffs. In other words he planned the entire u-turn all along, just so that he could personally profit from crashing global markets. Trillions of losses so he could buy the dip.

Wowza.

On the topic of markets beginning to unravel, last week's volatility at the all time high was already higher than it was in Y2K:

"Momentum volatility, now running hotter than the dot-com era, is flushing out hedge funds with VAR limits, and retail traders chasing breakouts"

Compare volatility at the highs now versus at the trade war lows of April 2025. Volatility is ALWAYS higher at bottoms than tops, which means the volatility we are about to see will be EPIC.

Clearly social mood is already getting pummeled and anger is rising, which means the ANGER we are about to see will be even more EPIC.

Here we see the Korean Kospi volatility far exceeds the 2020 pandemic LOW.

So far, the rotation to min vol (recession) stocks is keeping volatility subdued. However, we saw the exact same rotation back in February of this year, right before the whole market imploded:

In summary, Trump uses stock market manipulation to boost social mood so that the morons at large don't notice while he robs the country blind. What he usually does is front-runs his own announcements to manipulate the market higher while ALSO carrying on various other grifts in the background. Such as receiving personal gifts and favors from Third World countries.

He's a two fisted grifter.

Which ALSO means that we now have proof that April 2025 and April 2026 were the two largest market manipulations in history.

And his last market manipulation gimmick is "Trump (stock) Accounts" for children.

What else for the pedophile president?
