Trump Crashed the Market — Then Cashed In

“THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!! — DJT” With that single line, Donald Trump admitted what many of us already knew: this so-called “tariff war” was never about protecting American interests — it was about manipulating the stock market for personal gain. As the market plunged, average Americans watched their retirement accounts bleed, their orders get canceled, their businesses close, and their futures unravel — while Trump and his cronies waited at the bottom to buy in cheap. They knew when the floor was coming. We didn’t. We were just left holding the bag. And wouldn’t you know it? As soon as the market hit the low they were waiting for, three hours after that post, the tariffs were suddenly suspended for 90 days. Just long enough for their portfolios to recover — not ours. This isn’t policy. It’s economic arson, lit by a man who thinks America is his personal ATM. It’s not governance — it’s grift, plain and simple. So I ask you: Are you feeling great yet? Or just sifting through the smoldering ruins of Trump’s latest tantrum? Because the rest of us are struggling. Businesses are shuttering. Farmers are broke. And entire sectors — especially in states like Texas who still have export issue with China— are on life support while the rich play games with global markets. It’s time for every Republican to go. They stand for nothing but Trump, trauma, and the systematic looting of the country they pretend to love.
