Stocks soar after Trump tariff gambit
Donald Trump’s firm earned $415 million in a single day, while White House employees made billions
US President Donald Trump is facing fresh scrutiny after urging people to ”buy’ amid the recent stock market crash — hours before he announced a pause on sweeping reciprocal tariffs. Democrats have since issued calls for an insider trading investigation with many noting that one of his two posts had also included the ticker symbol for his own company. A video of Trump joking about how associates had made hundreds of millions of dollars have also gone viral in the ensuing hours.
As we have noted, a lot of misdirection has been promulgated regarding the objectives of the administration’s tariff circus, but after all the theatrics, only China (with minor exceptions) was targeted and Trump and his insiders made a killing on Wall Street.
Trump ignites ‘insider trading’ accusations after global tariffs U-turn
Donald Trump is facing accusations of market manipulation after posting on social media that it was a “great time to buy” just hours before he made a dramatic U-turn on his trade war that led to big rises in stock markets around the world.
Shortly after US markets opened on Wednesday morning, Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social: “THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!! DJT”.
Less than four hours later, he shocked investors by announcing a 90-day pause on additional trade tariffs on most countries except China, sending share indexes soaring.
Trump has invoked various laws based on shallow evidence, in order to circumvent Constitutional provisions and assume fascist powers, including the use of the US military for domestic purposes and to illegally enforce tariffs.
No emergency means there is no lawful basis for Trump’s imposition of the tariffs, writes Andrew P. Napolitano. Nor is there any constitutional basis for the underlying statute. …
In 1977, Congress enacted the International Economic Emergency Powers Act. This law permitted the president to impose tariffs on goods emanating from outside the U.S. in the case of an economic emergency. The statute defined an emergency as a sudden and unexpected event that adversely affects U.S. national security or economic prosperity.
Cognizant of the “emergency” trigger for the exercise of this unique power, the Trump administration initially offered that the introduction of fentanyl into the U.S. by foreign persons was the emergency. When advisers related to the president that the tariffs he contemplated would affect dozens of foreign countries producing hundreds of goods and services as to which there is no connection to fentanyl, the administration claimed the U.S. imbalance of trade as the emergency trigger.
Trump and his cohorts, including appointed officials, are invested in cryptocurrency scams. Aside from profiteering on inside information, this is part of the push to normalize cryptocurrency and use it to supplant legal tender for the purpose of establishing a central bank digital currency by which the financiers who are running the show can, via the intelligence agencies, enforce the compliance of citizens with the threat of freezing their liquid assets (bank accounts, etc.) or disabling their EVs.
Justice Dept. says it will pull back on litigating cryptocurrency fraud
The Justice Department has directed prosecutors to stop pursuing litigation against people committing fraud with digital currency, the latest example of the Trump administration easing up on white-collar crime enforcement.
The president’s meme coin symbolizes his historically naked commitment to the art of the grift
Much like Biden, Trump is essentially pardoning himself and his co-conspirators before, during, and after their criminal activities.
Surprise! DOGE fires safety experts who oversaw regulations on Tesla
The Financial Times reports that, among the many federal firings perpetrated by Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency outfit, around 30 workers from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration were let go. A significant number of these workers were from the “office of vehicle automation safety” which assesses safety for self-driving cars.
The NHTSA has eight active investigations into Tesla’s operations, particularly focusing on its self-driving software. These investigations stem from numerous high-profile crashes and more than 10,000 public complaints. Recently, the NHTSA began investigating over 2.5 million Teslas following multiple reports of crashes connected to a feature allowing owners to control cars remotely. Additionally, 363,000 Teslas were recalled in February due to unsafe behaviors in the “Full Self-Driving” software.
In addition to Trump dropping the investigations and indictments of Musk’s companies, he is removing any future oversight of Tesla’s safety standards, putting customers at risk.
The United States of Money Laundering
By refusing to enforce the Corporate Transparency Act, the Trump administration has gutted key protections against money laundering and financial crime. The message to kleptocrats worldwide is clear: the US is open for anonymous shell company business.
The IRS doesn’t collect unpaid taxes from the 1% as Trump lays off more staff
Trump’s IRS Pick Has Ties to Shady Donors Under IRS Scrutiny
President Donald Trump’s choice for Internal Revenue Service (IRS) director just had his six-figure debt paid off by campaign donors whose firms have significant, often contentious business before the tax agency he would lead, according to federal records reviewed by the Lever.
Per the three previous links, this shows the non-existent separation of corporate and mafia activities.
Trump administration lists thousands of immigrants as dead in new policy
The Department of Homeland Security requested the Social Security Administration to enter more than 6,000 names of immigrants into its database used to track dead people, according to a DHS official with knowledge of the decision.
The move will effectively financially starve the immigrants, cutting off their ability to legally work in the country, receive various government benefits and access financial services like credit and bank accounts. The Trump administration is hoping it will drive them to self-deport, according to the official. It’s all a part of the administration’s efforts to crack down on migrants in the country.
Falsifying federal records is another crime.
Trump’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act has no factual basis
More lies regarding foreign nation-states whose central banks are not controlled by the financiers.
The Biggest Federal Land Heist in the History of the West?
In the budget reconciliation process, congressional Republicans are considering whether to sell-off public lands around cities and National Parks to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy. In the budgeting process, Congress voted down a bill that would have blocked selling off public lands to prop up the federal budget. There are plans afoot to site artificial-intelligence datacenters on public lands. The State of Utah has chipped in by demanding that all unallocated federal lands in the state – totaling 18.5 million acres – be transferred to state ownership, despite the explicit provision in the Utah Constitution that “they forever disclaim all right and title to the unappropriated public lands lying within the boundaries” of the state.
As we noted previously, privatizing government functions and assets is one of the textbook definitions of fascism.
Republicans Reject SAVE Act Amendments Aimed at Protecting Women's Votes
Republicans in the House of Representatives blocked an amendment to the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act which would protect married women's ability to register to vote.
They also blocked amendments brought forward by Oregon Representative Maxine Dexter which would protect several other groups of people from the strict parameters for voter registration put forward by SAVE.
Married women who changed their surname don’t have matching birth certificates to get voter ID
How any so-called progressive feminists can support such misogyny is an indication of the success of the financiers’ PSYOPS.
Trump orders a 'massive' overhaul of how elections are run
Voting rights advocates and legal experts said the bulk of the executive order will certainly be challenged in court, as the Constitution grants authority over elections to states and to Congress, not the president. Should it take effect, they say, millions of voters could be disenfranchised.
Given the fact that in 2024 the seven swing states that gave Trump the electoral victory were hacked, Trump’s umbrage at vote hacking is the height of disingenuousness. As we have noted at various times over the years, while the red and blue parties trade accusations of vote hacking, ultimately it is the financiers (who own the Fed, the global for-profit corporate pyramid, and various public-sector subsidiaries, including the US, UK, most of the EU, etc.) that determine the nomination and selection of their front man (POTUS), who takes orders from the intelligence services. The manipulation of the electoral system becomes more obvious at each turn; for example, in 2024 neither the red nor the blue party held legitimate presidential primaries. Apparently, this is preferable to blatantly stealing the nomination as the blue party did twice to Sanders.
Moving offshore … Trump’s lies on Ukraine are coming home to roost as his administration refuses to admit that the US started this war in 2014:
US will abandon Ukraine peace push if no progress 'within a matter of days,' Rubio says
Trump promised during his election campaign to end the war in Ukraine within his first 24 hours in the White House. He moderated that claim on taking office, suggesting a deal by April or May as obstacles mounted.
Perhaps honesty and cooler heads will prevail:
US Peace Deal Involves Russia Retaining Territories, Keeping Ukraine Out of NATO
