    Insider trading. By that, I don't meant only the web of contact around Trump. They may be involved. But also may be others that deal with Trump. China, NK, Russia, anyone that have any relationship with the POTUS can likely manipulate the man to make a statement that significantly move the market. You may be wrong a few time, but with probability on your side, you will make billions.

    These significant irregularly, timely bets should be transparent enough for investigators to know the source(s).

    Its most definitely others involved with foreign powers.

    I guarantee you Trump and his cronies are not even benefiting the most.

    I don't know how anyone can be so sure? I wouldn't be surprised of a worse case scenario ----- that Trump himself is involved. That he is involved and it involves his personal lawyers and their shady contacts. I don't think so, but I wouldn't be surprised given how much we have seen his reckless and lawless behaviors.

    There will be investigations of the Trump family and their cronies for years after he leaves office.

    I agree that Trump has personal involvement in all of it, my point is that there are others in the U.S. and abroad who are reaping more of the benefits.

    When all is told Trump will be looked at as a puppet who made a lot of other people money and became the fall guy.

    A real useful idiot.

    What?

    I don't understand what we are disagreeing about?

    Am I not placing enough blame on Trump?

    Double post (blame Verizon - if their coverage wasn’t so awful in downtown, this never would have happened)

    Interesting but he is not really giving any great evidence either.

    Kushner is the leak to 2nd order investors, if I may speculate.
