Why did Trump impose the current tariffs? Was it:

A. To enrich himself via insider trading.

B. To compel pledges of loyalty from companies and industries.

C. To extort other countries, including allies.

D. All of the above

I thought the major point of announcing tarrifs a month in advance was to give people the chance to sell their stocks so they can buy the dip. Remember just a week or two ago that Tesla's boardmembers sold off a ton of over-valued stock?

Fire sale, insider trading, stock manipulation, price manipulation... pick a scam/con. It's at least one of them.

Now this way they can raid private retirement funds as well as social security.
