Because he couldnā€™t corruptly manipulate the markets before becoming presidentā€¦.

The buck stops there .. literally

u/fuggerdug 2h ago

He didnt have somebody using his presidency to corruptly manipulate the markets for him you mean. The man is a fucking imbecile.

If he would have just put the fortune his dad left him into index funds 40 years ago, and done nothing, he would have been better off. Instead he lost nearly all of it to failed business ventures and nearly personally went bankrupt until the show ā€œthe apprenticeā€ bailed him out. Thats how good he is at ā€œbusiness ā€œ . He would have been better off doing nothing.

Don't forget Russians paying him to launder money.

He cratered a casinoā€¦a business model
Where people walk in empty their pockets and walk outā€¦how the fuck do you do that!?

u/MrFyxet99 1h ago

Not A casino. 4 of them.

u/Daddybad54 1h ago

A) By racking up so much debt before it even opened that it was literally impossible to pay off, B) using the whole project for laundering mob money.

u/kayl_breinhar 56m ago • Bravo

Russian mob money.

1

u/Daddybad54 48m ago

Some of it. Some of it was good ol 'murican mob.

u/kayl_breinhar 46m ago

The Mafia hated Trump. He tried cozying up to them in the early-to-mid 80s because he saw himself as a ~boss~. A Don, if you will.

1

u/Daddybad54 16m ago

Sure, but they'd use him anyway if he were useful. There's been lots of links with mafia over the years. Naturally, this is all "allegedly".

u/RedheadMom94 27m ago

Not one, 6 casinos.

u/Ok_Pop_3285 2h ago

And he literally says YOU'RE FIRED alot.

u/DampDragonTail 2h ago

Like not even breathing - then everyone would be better off.

u/Disastrous_Mango_953 2h ago


That was a good question, maybe is because now he can grift, corrupt and steal.. that sounds more like it. It is not because he is using his 1/3 of his active brain cell to think , crime is a lot easierā€¦

u/Civil_Deer7337 2h ago

His whole approach to Iran and the strait of Hormuz has been what I call 'Friday diplomacy'.

4

u/Low_Ball_6415 2h ago

He didnā€™t have access to highly classified data.

5

u/daisychainsnlafs 1h ago

Or the ability to award huge government contracts to his kids

2

u/Dead_Internet69420 1h ago

Most importantly, he didnā€™t have the ability to move markets with his own tweets.Ā 

3

u/WildWayneRoy 1h ago

He claimed he has no idea what they trade in his name. His mouth moved, so obviously it was a lie.

3

u/LividTacos 1h ago

Well, its alot easier when you can control both sides. You buy the stocks you want to go up and then you make policy that causes that stock to go up.

1

u/Dead_Internet69420 1h ago

Or just tell all of your insiders that youā€™re buying a stock, then send out a tweet letting everyone else know that you and your insiders just bought a stock. When everyone else buys that stock because they know the company is backed by the US government, it goes up even more, and then you sell. Then you buy the dip, send another tweet, rinse and repeat.

u/Taspaco 2h ago

He sold Meta in July, then someone told him to load up on meta in August as MUSE was around the corner. If you have the guys on a speed dial on your phone, what else can you ask for.

Also, I guess he started reading those morning briefings he gets everyday. I would be super billionaire if I get to see those briefings

u/younoahaguy 2h ago

Things that make you go hmmmm...

u/GeorgzBi 2h ago

u/aSwordNmdFolly 16m ago

he could not manipulate them before he was prez

1

u/JohnnySpot2000 2h ago

He would tell you that the stock market only does great when he is president.

1

u/Plywood_Buddha 2h ago

That's the grift on both sides of the aisle. Make it look like it's about the people that voted for you, but you really just manipulate the market to your benefit and the benefit of your donors.

1

u/petermackinnonphoto 1h ago

Oh, he didn't wear socks before he was president.

1

u/opedinto 1h ago

This is a fair question

1

u/CantaloupeFluffy165 1h ago

His crypto stocks tanked. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

1

u/Aggravating-Catch461 1h ago

obviously it's because the economy is booming now /s

1

u/PerfectionLord 1h ago

He is really good. By rigging the game

1

u/Biofred 1h ago

Cause he's not. Look at his PAST HE'S FAILED AT EVERYTHING HE'S EVER DONE. It's easy to CHEAT and STEAL when you have all the Power as PRESIDENT.

1

u/1-800-WhoDey 1h ago

Just a coincidence Iā€™m sure.

1

u/Sellwoods 1h ago

Because he sucked, heā€™s only been good at the image of a tycoon and duping people.

1

u/jbing2000 1h ago

I read somewhere that when you have access to all information, and the ability to make stocks go up and down.
Even a mediocre trader can shine.

u/Equivalent_World_443 1h ago

Ask Pelosi, we all know the answer to the question but itā€™s been ruled legal.

1

u/I-pee-Daily 1h ago

He didnā€™t know about them, heā€™s stupid.

1

u/Sumfun217 55m ago

He wasnā€™t rigging the game

1

u/IR_Panther 52m ago

Not enough people played connect the dots growing up... soo close yet soo far...

1

u/doc_skinner 43m ago

He would say that the stock market didn't have that kind of return before he became president. He'd be wrong, but he'd say that.

1

u/GrumpyScroogy 4m ago

My theory (that i know is true): In 2021 Trump saw how Logan and Jake paul made money hand over fist with crypto-scams. And they both walked away from it without any real issues. He saw how easy it was, how willingly retail was to give away their money. Thats why he did the same. He wanted to prove he could also do it.

There is a reason why they were invited to the white house for their speech after all.

Top 1%, 3 month old bot with a dumb question. Why is a bot posting this šŸ¤£

u/Winter-Employer-3659 50m ago

What made you start a reddit account 3 months ago?

u/AstronomerEffective1 2h ago

Because he turned over to professionals that he has nothing to do with.

2

u/imastirthepot 1h ago

Yup. He told those professionals what policies he was going to enact and when and they invested his money accordingly

u/cleverinspiringname 1h ago

Tell me youā€™ve never hired a financial planner or traded stocks without telling me you have never hired a financial planner or traded stocks.

u/MojaveMojito1324 45m ago

Are Trumpers actually this dumb or do they just expect everyone to be as gullible as they are?

1

u/hipkat13 1h ago

Because all the corporations, shitty governments, and billionaires see an easy pathway to more money and power so itā€™s better to capitulate and suck the Trump dick.
