can anybody sue trump over his manipulation over the market?

[trend2009]

his tweet claimed great news and closer to deal with china, which caused stock to rise sharply in the morning. someone has a big loss due to the tweet. but on weekend, there is no deal coming out. can the trader sue trump?

You would have to prove that is his intention, which despite how obvious it looks is difficult to get past the "beyond a reasonable doubt" part of the requirement.

lol bro, trump could shoot someone on Fifth Ave. and he apparently can't be prosecuted due to a DOJ memo from decades ago. what makes you think he'd ever be prosecuted for financial tweets?

not to mention, market manipulation cases always hinge on intent, which is immensely difficult to prove.

Decade or two from now, they will be talking about this time of when all his friends and family got extremely rich (and by extension, him) by front-running his comments.

Nah. Not here.

You forget The Three Stages of TrumPidiot Reaction (to perceived attack)
1) Deny deny deny.
2) Disparage the source.
3) Double-down: Wear the accusation as a cloak of honor: "Well of course I/we manipulate the market -- who in their right mind wouldn't??? You all just lack the power."

Some artist, with the right contacts, should put on a - fountain light show in the front yard of the white house , representing markets, whenever it's green or red.

Then he could type in the message ,, Deal is coming '', turn back, and watch through windows, how the colors of the fountain change.


The funny things tho, some folks would live behind the fence, to use this newly found edge

Easy to imagine, Dave Chappelle making an episode on that one.

No real complaints from anyone when the market is manipulated UP...

There's all kinds of news that comes out routinely from any number of sources. Getting hammered on a trade sucks, but the reality of it is, anytime you enter these markets you are playing with fire, you either have to accept the risk or not participate.

but my robot can not read the colors in the front of white house. his tweet called me by shock watching es jumped 20 points in 6 minutes. even companies choose to publish big events after market close or way before market open.
