A sudden burst of confusion gripped Wall Street today after a headline—falsely attributed to White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett—triggered a sharp rally in the stock market, only for it to reverse moments later as the story unraveled.
He wanted someone to see the kind of power and sway he has over global economics. That’s why it was reported and then contradicted. I blame the world for this. They have built a monster here in the U.S. and now it’s making them sit, stand, and stay like good little slap dogs.
I was going to be pissed if it was true. As much as I hate it he needs to sleep in the bed he made. He caused all this for what. This smells like insider trading, so his cronies can buy low…… I don’t know anything about stocks except my retirement is gone practically. But I know enough to know if the 1% ain’t worried something is way wrong!
I've never heard that before. I'm sorry you can't move your stocks. I'm glad I was able to make a phone call and move my money wherever I wanted to, once a quarter. It's your money you should be able to that. I would try calling your 401k plan directly if you haven't done so.
Huge underline on the question about market manipulation. Sometimes I wonder if that is the real reason behind this. Crash the market, buy stock, “save” the market and sell 😡
I’ve come to understand everything he does is for himself. I honestly believe he hates America and is set to destroy it but not before he and his cronies are as rich as they can possibly be. The whole thing makes me physically sick.
Unfortunately, you are very correct. Guess he plans to move all of his goons to Trump Gaza to live with blood on their hands and a five million dollar gold Ticket to Hell for each of them. We must stay strong and true to our beliefs. If we live through this we will be building this country back from the ruins. May God be with us!
I’m pretty sure that’s the plan. He talks about how billions of dollars will be pouring into the country with these tariffs as well. He means pouring into HIS accounts. He’s an asshole.
Donald Trump is in narcissistic heaven right now! He is getting so much attention. He is getting off on it! Narcissist love to create chaos and sit back and watch the chaos they create he is watching the whole world in chaos because of him and loving every single minute of the attention, the narcissist is getting😡😡
There is no department left to investigate it…. Because…. Oh that’s right Musk made sure it was closed bc of fraud and overspending….Trump and Musk manipulate whatever it takes to make them and the other billionaires richer…. On our backs….
It must make Trump feel omnipotent. With one statement, true or false, he can manipulate the US economy to his benefit. He is on record stating how he loves when the markets crash, so he can buy cheap. With no definitive economic policy, this administration is just winging it. Like with the executive orders, DOGE and deportations, trying to see how much he can get away with. A coup is right in front of our faces and our elected representatives are complicit in its design.
How many of them had their people sop up that 15 minute "soar"? These bastards are openly manipulating the markets like their own personal puppets. It's the most abhorrent bullshit I have ever seen in my life and I lived through Richard Nixon.
Short options need a stock price to go up before short options became valid. The announcement seems an obvious strategy for Trump regime insiders to activate their short positions. Congressional investigation needed.
Even if there was an investigation, it wouldn’t go anywhere because it’s Republican controlled…. There will not be one investigation that goes anywhere….
Feels suspiciously like manipulation.
It 'feels' that way because it IS that way. :-(

Right? The whole thing does.
FU Trump And Your Administration You Piece Of Shit Traitor
Not an administration, a regime 😡😡😡

Precisely!
Yes, I was thinking insider trading also but I don't know if this fits in that category
Thanks. I am a teacher and we don’t have much say in how our 401k is invested. So many lost so much.

It’s through our state we have like mild moderate plans I can pick from and that’s it. My one through my private advisor I can. But not my work one :(
My was a standard 401k not through a broker. I'm so sorry.
They know what they’re doing. They’re manipulating the market so they can get richer
Trump is a complete fucking moron and the Republicans are POS.

Yes! We're all being punished because he lost in 2020. His supporters be damned (as they deserve).
Agreed!
I’m pretty sure that’s the plan. He talks about how billions of dollars will be pouring into the country with these tariffs as well. He means pouring into HIS accounts. He’s an asshole.
bingo !!
I was thinking the same
BINGO!!
LET ME GUESS…. THIS CAME FROM FOX❓❓❓
Obviously
Without a doubt!
This is now the 4th time the markets have been manipulated. Would love to know who has gained from this predictable behavior.
We know who...
Trump is unfit for office

Is this type of manipulation legal? Who investigates this and what is the punishment?
They were all fired by Musk... So...
Ohhhhh, well that makes sense.
There is no department left to investigate it…. Because…. Oh that’s right Musk made sure it was closed bc of fraud and overspending….Trump and Musk manipulate whatever it takes to make them and the other billionaires richer…. On our backs….
How convenient!! 🤬
It sure was, wasn’t it🤪🤪
No, not legal, and the SEC is who used to oversee that but they are no longer effective.

I was watching the market when it happened, it was very bizarre. I read it as a half assed attempt at a pump and dump.

Nixon's crimes now seem like kids' games.

Clarity is good. Clarity is fair, but all we hear is lies, obfuscation and confusion from the White House.
