The problem is there is zero basis for it. It's reddit-tier filling in the blanks through the lens of orange man bad despite there being a more reasonable explanation.
There may be someone somewhere who catches wind of info ahead of time and uses it to insider trade. But absent that proof (and believe me if there was any, we'd have seen it), and proof it was intentionally allowed, I am left to assume that is just how Trump negotiates, which is an easy assumption to make because it is well in-line with how he has acted for a decade now.
The argument reminds me of the NO WAR FOR OIL! protests around the Iraq War. There were many reasons to be against that war, and hidden agendas for carrying it out, but 'we wanted to steal their oil' was the most inane astroturfed libdem take that distracted from legitimate opposition. Especially when as Trump pointed out we didn't even take the oil like we should have.
He’s not beating the allegations.
They are a cancer on our nation.
At least he's putting tariffs on countries so his inner circle can make a lot of profit on insider trading before he withdraws them again.
You're getting down voted but its true. It's a form of market manipulation which is rampant in politics.
I can also be of the mind that accurately applied tariffs are effective at protecting domestic industries.
