"Senator Schiff is right. Trump rigged the tariff announcement."

"Donald Trump rigged the stock market and bragged about it in real time.

Just minutes before the market opened, Trump told his followers on Truth Social: “THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!”, and posted “DJT” the ticker for his own media company. Then he announced a sudden 90-day tariff pause, reversing his earlier policy, and blindsiding even his own trade officials.

What happened next? The S&P 500 spiked nearly 10%. Tesla surged 18%. And investors connected to Trump, including those with early knowledge, saw their portfolios soar.

This wasn't a strategy. It wasn’t “art of the deal.” It was a coordinated act of market manipulation, and it reeks of insider trading, at the highest levels of government.

Sen. Adam Schiff and Rep. Ruben Gallego are demanding a congressional investigation, and we need to ensure that Congress follows through.

The timing, the posts, the trades… this wasn’t a coincidence; it was a coordinated cash grab using the power of the presidency. Demand that Congress investigate Trump’s market manipulation now.

There is no gray area here. The evidence is public. The timing is damning. And the motive is clear: personal enrichment.

Trump is orchestrating pump-and-dump schemes from the White House. He manipulated the markets, and handed his allies a payday. He used insider information, triggered a market spike, and then bragged about it publicly. That’s not just unethical. It’s criminal.

And every member of Congress who fails to act becomes complicit in normalizing corruption at the highest levels of power.

Congress must subpoena every trade, every memo, every whisper of coordination from Trump, his cronies, his family, and his financial backers. Anything less is a cover-up.

This is a blatant abuse of presidential power for personal gain. Tell Congress to investigate insider trading over Trump's tariffs.

Together, we will expose corruption and demand real accountability.
