The Trump gang's abusing power of office to manipulate stock prices:

— Trump has U.S. military attack oil producer Iran, provoking the mullahs' terror regime to block passage of the Strait of Hormuz, making the price of fossil fuels go through the roof, stock prices disastrously dropping — Trump gang & billionaire affiliates buying cheap stocks.

— Crisis drags on, stocks get even cheaper with every threat emitted by Trump.
The orange menace threatens to destroy Iranian energy infrastructure, if Strait of Hormuz isn't passable within 48 hours; stock prices sinking even further.

— (Un)Surprisingly Trump chickens out again, giving the mullahs 5 days to stop blocking the Strait of Hormuz. Price of oil & natural gas falling considerably, stock prices generally rising.
Every Trump-affiliated billionaire (cabinet member), who bought "cheap" stocks before, can be an effing richer oligarch today.
