What keeps this con-man from pretending to impose tariffs only to abort mission at the last moment and thereby manipulating the market while insider-trading based off of that?
(dear trumplawyers all of the above is allegedly and hearsay I make no accusation of wrongdoing myself merely repeating rumors i have heard and getting input on them.)
If you think you understand the con double check if that’s not part of the con. Getting rich while having this kind of power doesn’t require market manipulation, ask defence contractors.
Defense contractors have started entire wars to manipulate the market. It’s all market manipulation.
My point was that insider trading is a way to make money for lawmakers and executives because they’re high enough to know real consequences of things being decided but they are not ones deciding. Those who decide have more efficient ways to extract power and money from the system.
Defence contractors are at that table and they got there by being recognised as important to the national security. That’s why „AI” is critical to national security. That’s why Democrat and Republican establishment has been courted by tech bros so much all these years - they want in.
