    From the guy who signed tariffs that everyone knew would be overturned and resulted in refunds to those impacted (which meant artificially inflating profits for sellers), and the guy selling crypto and watches and shoes and whatnot while in office?

    Yeah, bro is schizo

      I think he’s more a demented sociopath.

      What he doesn’t like is he didn’t get a cut.

    he means he forgot to buy their stock, and would like it to go back down so he can get in before pumping it again

      Well the Strait Of Hormuz is gonna stay closed until South Korea hits critical levels again, so he’ll have his chance.

      On a more serious note, I think that if that was something he wanted to, he would have done that.

      He might, but I’m not sure which is worse ATP
