Fox Reporter Says the Trump White House Is Giving Wall Street Executives Inside Info on Tariff Negotiations.

This was from Mediaite.
We all know the volatility in the market right now, and an announcement of a trade deal with India would likely send the indexes soaring. How is this not insider information?

Trump's in-your-face corruption is the most under-reported story of the year.

But I don't believe any countries are actually "negotiating" with Trump on tariffs. There is no reason to. Just tell him Fuck You like China and Japan have already done and Trump will eventually fold. Gasparino who posted this is a lying asshole.

There is zero motive for any country to give Trump a thing.

Just like rumors that the Trump spawn have made a killing on the stock market with
insider trading and market manipulation w/ tariff announcements.

Vietnam has already signaled, loudly, not just by accepting Apple and many other US based companies into their country to produce to avoid China's maneuvers to be the only alternative to the GOP/Trump insanity that led to the 90 day cooling off, but have said they would be just fine with a 10% increase in tariffs to equalize the balance. They have only a $200 billion trade balance as opposed to the 1.2 trillion of China, and it would be a huge win for Trump. I wish he actually had the skills to pull it off, because it would keep our farmers and manufacturers goods out there for sale. As for his saying he is negotiating with other countries, that is just what Musk is telling him to do. Trump's a liar, but Musk's pro-Putin, anti-Constitution, Neo-nazi supporters are even worse than MAGA morons.

We must keep stating it as the GOP Senate and House members are unwilling to stand up for American farmers, manufacturers, and workers in fear of losing the hundreds of millions of dollars Musk bought them with.

....who was being investigated. DOJ recently dropped the case after a big fat cash donation. No way should anyone be surprised about this fraudster. tRUMP associates all have futures with these companies. Mind-numbing the level of corruption.

They scheme and cheat and always seem to be rewarded for it. I realize some of ‘em do get caught and are forced to “pay for it” in one way or another, but too many others are getting away with it, way too often. Right, donald?
