Did Trump help insiders cash in on his tariff flip-flopping? YouTube video by Senator Elizabeth Warren

I'm calling for an investigation into whether President Trump manipulated the market to benefit his Wall Street donors—all while working people and small businesses paid the price.

Did Trump help insiders cash in on his tariff flip-flopping? It sure looks like corruption.

This is a real exchange I just had:

A shout out to the millions who marched in the United States for democracy and against fascism. Taking back the country is going to be a long and hard struggle but it has begun.
From Canada we say: #elbowsup

TRUMP'S THEATRE OF CRUELTY "It will go down someday as the greatest reality show ever conceived.

With Trump its all about the spectacle and cruelty.
Like a bad wrestlemania cage match except that real people are getting hurt.
Please read my latest reflection on spectacle, cruelty and the dangerous fascist playbook.

So apparently Canada wasn’t mentioned in the just released U.S. Annual Threat Assessment “as a source of illicit fentanyl.”

AT ALL.

And yet Trump specifically cited fentanyl as THE LEGAL JUSTIFICATION for starting a trade war with Canada using tariffs by executive order.

Proof the EO is illegal.

The unsought-by-Greenland visit by Second Lady Usha Vane feels like a Trump administration project to goad Greenlanders into protest - after which the administration can demand apologies. If/when the apologies are deemed unsatisfactory, next step may be reprisals.

American friends attended a Rally for Canada today in Vermont. It’s nice to see. Made me all warm and fuzzy. 🥰🇨🇦
