It was their plan to manipulate the market to provide opportunities to his billionaire friends.

Announce dramatic tariffs. Crash the market. Billionaires, hedge funds, and other institutional investors pump money into the market. Announce a moratorium on tariffs. Market spikes. Sell.

Rinse and repeat in 90 days.

It's Tom and Daisy-level carelessness.

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy – they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”
– F. Scott Fitzgerald
