        He just literally doesn’t give a shit if he is fucking everything up and he’s too stupid to do the right thing.

        The strategy: Put in some shorts, announce Tarrifs, rake in the cash. Buy an obscene amount of stock on margin, announce a reduction in tariffs, rake in the cash.

        The next day: Have Charles Schwab on TV with you to announce how your illegal market manipulation and insider trading have earned the man billions in a day. Every dollar of which was stolen from the retirement of the working class.

        I live in a sea of selfish, undereducated, self-sabotaging, brainwashed Americans who are dumb as fuck.

          Market manipulation and even short trading (do you want to invest? Then invest for years or at least several months, not days or even less) is a tax for the wealthy, paid by everyone else.
