He's been blatantly and unapologetically manipulating the market and funneling funds directly into his and his buddies' pockets. Why is this worded as if any of this is a mystery?

Because if they don’t he sues for libel and gets bitchy. If you phrase it as a question he doesn’t
Yes.
lol, obviously.
Yes.
Next question.
I think I've found an exception to Betteridge's law
Because every headline I see about Trump can be answered with "Yes!"
He’s not only rigging the markets - he and some in his regime are evidently insider trading on polymarket around pants-on-head stupid geopolitical outcomes that the regime duly turns around and executes because making a buck on the side is their guiding principle
And that's why he is panicking about getting a peace agreement now. He has a big bet on there being a peace agreement by the end of the month. And he can't do it.
I’d love to see him go down because he lost some people a large sum of money. That would be -hilarious-
I mean it's a pattern that keeps repeating.
So, yes.
Yep. And I already know that he knows to announce unpopular stuff at 4:31 PM Eastern time on Fridays, right after the stock markets close for the week.
Is the Pope American?
..fuck yeah he is..
Betteridge’s law defied.
Articles like this remind me that Lemmy is between 3 weeks to 3 months in the future as a small global conciousness.
It is insane how slowly people in the outside world are piecing stuff together if at all. Many first need to run away from the truth and then go through their 5 stages at a snail pace, often interrupted by the next crisis already.
