Maybe it's a friend of Trump. Maybe it's a friend of Pelosi. Might even be a member of Congress! "Rules for thee not for me."

  Is congress actually apprised of the tariff developments, or do they learn about them from twitter like the rest of us?

    The horrid congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene happened to disclose many trades that were clearly front running the tarrif announcements. There is definitely an insiders club communicating these things in advance. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/marjorie-taylor-greene-stocks-trump-tariffs/ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/marjorie-taylor-greene-stocks-t...

      I don't think you can say "definitely" but you can definitely say "high possibility of", the president has signaled that the DOJ is okay with white collar crime by his friends and family by firing lots of long term bureaucrats and lawyers known for fighting said white collar crime. He wants to clean house of honest people and put in only sycophants and fellow grifters.

  How would a "friend of Pelosi" know when Trump would post his "THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!" and "90 days pause" posts?

    That's arguably the opposite of insider trading though? I'm now sure how doing insider trading but in secret is somehow better.

    The implication is they're all in the same club. And if you know any family members of members of Congress, you know this to be true!
