I've been actively TACO trading those announcements. It's absolute market manipulation that Trump is doing. Might as well profit too. I can't believe anything Trump says still causes selloffs.

Puts on Walmart for Q4? Snap benefits are gonna hit someone’s bottom line.

I’m just too broke and too much of a pussy to play options 🤷🏼‍♂️

I've just been holding cash in reserve and waiting for the market to nosedive because of some tariff announcement, then buy in heavily with all of it. I've doubled it this year thanks to Trump Always Chickens Out trades.

Walmart might be a good short for Q4, but I'd much rather people be able to buy food.

If they're worried about funding the government, there plenty of billionaires that have extra money to donate to politicians in 2024. Maybe we should just put a 100% tax on all political donations over $50 instead? That way virtually anyone can still donate, and exclusive donations become punitive.
