Trump’s claim of ‘Great Time to Buy’ before tariff pause raises insider trading concerns.

President Donald Trump recently made a post on Truth Social asserting that it would be a “great time to buy,” just hours before he revealed a 90-day pause on tariffs and a reduction in reciprocal tariffs after receiving calls from more than 75 countries seeking to negotiate deals. This sequence of events has led to suspicions of possible insider trading. Before the official announcement, stocks had been experiencing instability, causing concern among economists about a potential recession.

Following Trump’s tariff announcement, the S&P 500 surged by over 5% and the Nasdaq 100 by almost 8%. However, the proximity of Trump’s two posts on social media has raised eyebrows among users, who question the possibility of insider trading. The close timing between Trump’s statement urging people to buy stocks and the subsequent tariff pause announcement has fueled speculation about potential impropriety.

One Twitter user highlighted the uncanny timing of Trump’s posts, insinuating that he may have been trying to profit from the impending stock market surge. Another user raised concerns about trades made by members of the Trump Administration prior to the tariff news. The abrupt changes in tariffs by the Trump administration have created a sense of unease, with users questioning the motives behind implementing and then pausing trade measures.

While some speculate about Trump’s actions benefiting his wealthy associates, others ponder why these sudden changes in tariffs are occurring. Trump’s tweet announcing the pause revealed that not all countries are included, with China facing an increase in tariffs to 125% in response to implementing tariffs of 84% on U.S. exports. It remains to be seen how these developments will impact international relations and trade agreements moving forward.

As the implications of Trump’s tariff decisions unfold, questions linger about the motives behind his statements and actions. The close proximity of his social media posts to significant policy announcements raises concerns about potential insider trading. The impact of these events on the stock market and global trade relations remains to be fully realized. The uncertainty surrounding these developments underscores the need for transparency and accountability in decision-making processes at the highest levels of government.
