A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

It’s interesting to see a situation he can’t fully control the narrative on. I’d argue most things in the US he’s managed to via government pressure or media manipulation (yes, even the Epstein files).
But this time, on an international stage he doesn’t have complete control and man, you can tell really burns him up. He really does think that not only should complete, godly control nationally, it should extend globally.
I know the headline here is in the confusingly concise headline-speak, but I'm pretty sure the people who have been killed is a bigger loss than your imaginary money machine having a number drop.
Oh wait, they're brown and/or poor, MAGA doesn't care.
As someone who doesn't understand the arcane and subtle inner workings of "wall street" I'm just going to ask the obvious: why TF can't wall street people just ignore Trump's lies like everyone else?
Or is it just because everyone is bedding down on Thursday night thinking "yeah Trump might tweet something when he's on the shitter in the morning so better reduce my holdings and see what happens"
Every rational person stopping for a minute while every stupid crazy mark reacts to Trump is enough to move the market.
Much of the trading on Wall Street isn’t done by humans, and what remains of human trades are increasingly influenced by automatic tools. These tools and algorithms aren’t aware of context, they base their trades on vibes, basically. They tap various news sources, social media posts, etc for signals that indicate a market direction.
Traders react to what they think is going to happen, not what is currently happening. Also they usually do not trade as emotionally, but rather based on processed information.
It becomes clear that this war is going to last and oil supplies will be further delayed, lowering economical prospects worldwide, which causes the market to react.
A volatile market also creates some opportunities for profit as traders can gain both when the market value increases and decreases, depending on how they are trading (although it also increases risk). If you are skeptical, market manipulation is also a possibility as Trump administration is already being investigated for this.
Wait…rich people go on their phones on the bog too?
Based on his old twitter habits, I assume every communication Trump puts out is sent while he's taking a shit
Its a statistical certainty.
He's full of shit all the time, so that tracks.
Very sadly, Trump is only interested in personal gain, buying and selling base upon his choices. The rest of the US is going to be recovering for decades
I'm sure his big, beautiful war will be over within two weeks. Just two more weeks bro, it's gonna be so good you guys. We're gonna be winning so much you'll be tired of all the winning, bro.
He's got a concept of a plan.
I think he's more at a "concept of a plan of planning a concept"-stage.
Market Manipulation Friday is tomorrow!
It's Friday here in Australia!
Same for me mate but we have to let the Americans catch up.
Hey, thanks for being so considerate. Except it was Friday about 5 hours ago for me.
Are you saying the dow is no longer over 50 thou?
It's sad but true: until such a time as the US markets bounce back, Trump really did rape those children. About 3500 more points to go.
Taco Friday!
But the DOW!!!11!!111one
Taco loses again
