Is there any proof anywhere to show or even suggest that Trump or any of his friends profited from this shit show?

Genuinely asking.

Because from what I can tell, what happened is pretty clear. Trump crashed the market, the bonds went bad, he used his Truth Social to beg people to buy but they didn't, and his financial people sat him down and forced him to write a tweet abandoning a position he said he would never change.

Doesn't it make more sense, objectively, that Trump's "Great time to Buy" tweet was just him trying to salvage the markets before he was forced to take a humiliating L that he'll be wearing on his forehead like a mushroom stamp for the rest of his presidency?

Until I see otherwise, there's no interpretation to this that isn't "Trump shat the bed while the world was watching."

Now, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe he really did send a "secret message" on his TRUTH SOCIAL ACCOUNT to all his friends and family telling them the plan was a go, **although why he'd do that instead of just texting or calling them I can't imagine.**

But I will say it is really surprising that financial people, who presumably make judgments based on hard fact and not emotion, immediately come leaping out of the woodwork to accuse a man we all know very well has the IQ of a cured ham of manipulating the worldwide economy for money that he could have just gotten by selling his supporters socks with his fucking face on them.

So send me some proof. I want to believe.
