Potential manipulation at play to suit oligarchs

It's astonishing that President Trump amidst global stock markets awash in red impacted by his harebrained tariff schemes, now proposes a 90-day freeze on the levies. Trillions have been lost globally due to his erratic and absurd decisions, yet one must question how many of his billionaire partners in crime seized the opportunity to buy stocks at their lowest. This raises serious concerns about the integrity of the markets and the potential manipulation at play to suit the oligarchs. While ordinary investors suffer, the elite seem poised to profit immensely from this engineered downturn. It is very clear that there is no method in his madness, there is madness in his method (or the lack of it). For a person who has declared bankruptcy six times and run a dozen of his companies to the ground these diabolical antics are par for the course. Trump seems to be still playing host of 'The Apprentice' where his favourite line was "You are fired.", the only difference is that he has now set fire to the global economy. This is not leadership, merely a self-serving spectacle.
