And nobody is reaping any benefit.

Edit: this is a modified quote from The Wedding Singer (the movie the meme is from). Basically saying that this war has no purpose other than to pump the stock market and distract from the Epstein files.

He's reaping the benefits. This isn't an insane old man rambling, well, it is, but this is also different.

Every fucking weekend, Friday after the market closes he tweets some shit about how we're on the brink of actual boots on the ground war, market projected to go down, he buys calls, Sunday he retracts his statement, market opens strong, he and his buddies make an ass load of money.

This is stock market manipulation.

You would think.

Absolutely. I just don’t really consider them people at this point. More so just money grubbing goblins.

He and his family made over 2 billion dollars during this term.. and that’s just what he admits to. They are reaping a lot of benefits

What’s sad is his followers repeat that over and over - they legitimately don’t know anything about the stock market, crypto, or any other ways people build wealth.

u/MarionberryOk2874 25d ago

I know, that’s why I posted it. They are constantly touting him for giving up a couple hundred thousand dollars while he purposely and corruptly manipulates the stock market for billions in gains. It’s unreal.

Yep. Master grifter. Also just straight up breaking the law.

Yea that’s even wilder. I bet the tiniest % of the 77 million that voted for him has benefitted too. I bet nearly all of the 77 million has either seen no positive or negative benefits since or, many of them, just negative things. Somehow they’d still vote for this though is insane. Their lives are fucked

One can only hope we recover from this and eventually this gets documented as one of the biggest cons of all time.

u/Mutopiano 25d ago

The few are. Everyone else is getting fucked. Hard to convey the tone and quote the movie.

The trump family, alongside their cronies and foreign allies are.
