Of course they're gaming the market. To them, corruption is the system.

[Gaugamela]

The whole point of everything they do — firing IGs, privatizing the DOJ and FBI, decimating the IRS and EPA, eliminating the CFPB and the cybercrime cops and the crypto cops, etc — is to enable corruption. That’s the whole point of oligarchy. SCOTUS gave TSF total immunity and he can pardon all his insider cronies, and regardless these people are physically incapable of resisting a corrupt opportunity. Why in the world would they not manipulate the market?

It’s amusing to see everyone in the media phrasing it as a question.

1. They believe the whole point of having power is to steal as much as possible.

[Zorro]

2. They are all corrupt and believe everyone else is the same as them

3. Michael Cohen knows Krasnov as well as anyone

Cohen said the reason Krasnov ran for president was to become the richest person in the world.

Those ridiculous tariffs are not Krasnov fuck-ups.

4. The media doesn't even know what to say.

“Is it this?” “Is it that”? Tripping over themselves trying to explain what is happening. “Oh, it’s rising, everything is okay.”…”wait it a minute it’s falling again” blah blah blah.

They don’t want to admit that Krasnov has hijacked the stock market and will control it with tweets the next 3 years if not for life. He’s all set to steal some serious coin.

5. Of course they are...

It's all they know.
