Think of how much money can be stolen based on Trump's tweets

Trump and Putin's buddies could make billions based on Trump's tweets impacting markets around the world. All you would need to cash in on the market manipulation gravy train is foreknowledge of a Trump tweet.

I hope some govt. agency is monitoring buy/sell orders just prior to a Trump tweet that moves the stock market or futures trading.

But it extends way farther than just the stock market ---

They could, relatively easily on the current trajectory things are going and in not too long a time -- maybe not even a decade, end up dominating the entire world.

that tRump is testing the extent to which his comments manipulate the market. There is a noticeable ebb and flow coinciding with his tweet streams. For a while, I thought it was my own paranoia, but now thinking there's something quite sinister behind his activity. Nothing would surprise me with tRaitor tRump at the helm.
