#TrumpTariffs: A Massive Financial Scandal Unfolds

A major financial controversy is emerging around former President Donald Trump, who is accused of manipulating the U.S. stock market for personal gain.

The situation began when Trump announced sweeping global tariffs, sparking panic that wiped nearly $10 trillion from U.S. markets. Amid the chaos, Trump tweeted advice to investors: “Buy the dip”—specifically naming DJT, his own publicly traded company.

Just hours later, Trump unexpectedly delayed the tariffs by 90 days. The market rebounded sharply, and DJT shares surged by 22%, increasing Trump’s net worth by an estimated $415 million in less than an hour.

Suspicion deepened when trading records revealed that several wealthy Trump allies—including influential businessmen and politicians—had placed large bullish bets on DJT and the broader market just before the announcement. Those positions paid off handsomely.

Critics compare the sequence of events to a classic “pump and dump” scheme: crash the market, buy low, then use influence to drive prices back up—leaving ordinary investors with the losses. Experts estimate average Americans saw over $4 trillion in losses, while Trump’s circle profited immensely.

Adding to the scandal, a leaked White House video shows Trump joking about the billions earned by his inner circle—singling out billionaire Charles Schwab by name.
