It's one thing for someone inside to profit off their insider knowledge.
It's a whole 'nother level of evil to make announcements and decisions based on the profits you can make.
They are using war, killing and injuring countless innocent people, just to steer their investments. It's Market Manipulation at it's most global, most evil level, with billions of dollars being manufactured out of thin air when a bet was won. The money wasn't earned. It didn't come from selling a product. It was phantom money created out of thin air when a bet was won.
It's almost as if all the lives, and limbs, and property of all the people who have been bombed have been transmutated by MAGA alchemists into profits.
I would say it’s an extremely blurred line, not a clear difference.
From the perspective of citizens entrusting elected leaders with massive powers they should be considered identical.
Outright unashamed corruption.
Trump was invited on a news program many years ago to be the pro corruption side of a debate. And did not disappoint. He doesn't hide who he is I suppose.
Yeah but these days they're just doing full mask-off extra-corrupt just-pay-me-bitch corruption.
Like paying $1bn to the "board of peace" of which Trump is the supreme chairperson eternal ?
And it has gotta be pretty obvious which trades are likely insider trading. So SEC could likely trivially prosecute them - and I assume it is blatantly illegal.
But I assume that Trump has also corrupted the SEC.
Every single one of those trades is, by law, tied to a name, US address, and Tax ID Number, and tracked on a massive system called CAT/CAIS.
The SEC absolutely has that info.
Most corrupt administration ever
The most blatantly corrupt. They literally do not care if their corruption is on full display to the world.
Most corrupt administration ever
so far
"Traders"... oh that's strange, they misspelled traitors
The stock market is such a goddamn pyramid scheme. The only reason it hasn't full on collapsed is because the people running the scam get bailed by US tax payers every time it breaks. Nevermind that they tricked us into tying our retirements into the continuous survival of this casino in a trench coat.
Do workers still think we shouldn't take the wealth of our rulers by force?
Lol.
Such a weak nation.
Never in my wildest dreams did I think Americans would get walked all over like this.
Right now I'm not seeing any other future for us than permanent subjugation.
It's almost like we enjoy the punishment.
The whole "futures market" thing is just legalised market manipulation and gambling on a global scale
hey how does it usually go for Fiat currencies based entirely upon the whims of a dying despot
is that a sell
Once chucklefuck is gone (rest in piss), the chickens will come home to roost. All you dickless wonders will be indicted. Be ready to fined as high as it will fucking go or face jail tome-- hopefully both.
Fuck the lot of you selfish ghouls for ruining our country.
Narrator "No one went to jail. Now, a word from our sponsor Lockheed."
iran seem smart they seen trump say the same lies with ukrane then russia would attack ukrane hard. like who side is trump on.
In any other country on earth, Trump would have been dragged into the street a lynched by now.
I think the best American's can hope for is that his own security detail order 66's him.
I wonder why our representatives get so rich on such a small salary? ...and not just them, but their families, too! It's like they've won the lottery.
It's so weird. Oh well, I guess we will never know
When we get a Democratic government back, and they sue trump for all the insider trading and stock market manipulation he has done, they need to take all the money he gained as the fine. Plus jail time.
Zero chance of happening. I'd love to be proven wrong, though.
I'm so tired of not being wrong.
I have half an idea here, but let's say we eventually figure out President Joffrey is part of this. They'll try some bullshit argument about "he gets away with it because he's president" and fight about it in court. Fine. Loophole, courts will sort it out.
What I'm interested in: Couldn't the US government still seize the illicit money and force him to prove he earned it legally. They do that shit to other criminals in America. Why not use that legal concept on Mr Trump's crime family?
Use Trump's money as leverage to get him to squeal on everyone else for criminal charges they all can eat.
