Why Doesn’t the Media Seem to Care That Trump Could Be Purposely Manipulating the Stock Market?

We're just praying every day that crazy old man doesn't start World War III.

I wonder if he gets a cut when he makes the market go down.

Donny is is rocking the the boat to "sell high, buy low". He's been doing it for a year now.

He will still manage to lose money somehow.

Story of his sad and pathetic life.

I think this is legal. Immoral, yes, but legal.

I saw a report years ago that this is legal for the Congress. They also reported on a congressman who got rich this way.

might be legal but his rocking a lot of ordinary people’s 401k.

This is insane

He's Teflon.

There is NOTHING wrong he can do.

They only promise he's ever broken is he hasn't shot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue.

He’s at it again. DOW down 400

Because he's giving us tips.

It's true that economics is "the dismal science" -- it's not sexy and can be hard to understand, so "the Media" isn't attracted to it and in fact shies away from it. Everyone expressed shock and surprise to see the economy collapsing in 2008 except for the economists, whose efforts to have their warnings heard and publicized were ignored by most people, whose eyes had glazed over whenever the subject arose. Seems to be happening all over again.

Because the media is owned by some of the billionaires who will benefit from Trump's manipulations you idiot.

I just pray the collapse happens on his watch.

This is the last chance this year Trump has to send the market into a slight dip before buying more stock before the end of the year. The stock market will then be propped back up before the end of the year. No one in Wall Street wants to end the last weeks of the year in a downturn.

There might be a few other dips in the market early next year, but Trump's Wall St friends will do everything they can to keep the markets mostly going up right up to the election.

Why don't they care that his tariffs on China are killing us?

"Us"? r15 The Media isn't some separate island of people isolated from the effects of Trump's crazy trade wars. It's more that a lot of people being killed by the tariffs helped cause the situation by voting Trump into office.

I've thought this for a long time...he and his cronies are getting rich off any announcement about China..short it when bad news, and buy then sell high on good news. Seems pretty obvious. It isn't legal if it can proven with stock trades. The congressman from NY - Collins - is going to jail because of it.

It could be proven illegal if it was shown that Trump was helping tank certain stocks and then buying them. Unfortunately, he's found a way to tank the entire market. Buying stocks when they're low just makes him seem like a shrewd investor.

There definitely needs to be tougher laws on how the POTUS can speak about the Fed, Wall St, companies, etc.

In what world has he tanked the market?? It's up nearly 50% since he became president.

R19 there have been huge swings with every tariff announcement and trade war development.
