What's the odds Trump is the inside trader? [View all]

Since that asshole has been back in power there’s been a disturbing trend: some rich guy does a securities trade just before Trump does something that causes that trade to make a ton of money. The latest example is someone shorting Brent crude just before the Strait of Hormuz opened. Of course, all of us Trump watchers decided Trump told one of his friends what he was going to do long enough before he did it to monetize it.

I have noticed that Trump has made a ton of money since he’s been back. We know he’s basically Gone Yogurt and slapped his name on everything. “Merchandising! Merchandising! Merchandising! Where the REAL money of the picture is made!” Problem is, you don’t make billions of dollars by selling superhero cards and gold painted sneakers. That kind of money only comes from seemingly risky securities trading.

So…if it turns out that Trump himself is profiteering from his policy decisions, will the stock players in the Republican caucuses in Congress finally decide they’ve had enough of his shit?
