WELCOME TO FINANCE! There are no rules, and if we break them, we remake them!
This is a case where I literally both hate the player and the game.

Money laundering. Just like buying those bibles.
You know... In my life I've had to talk a few people out of scams.
I know they were scammed, it's blatantly a scam, the evidence is overwhelming, my experience is solid, everyone I know of's experience says the same.
Yet they will argue with you back and forth and never really be satisfied because they want to believe it so much, and I imagine it stings a good bit being told you're being ripped the fuck off and you're too stupid or inexperienced to understand that.
I'm never confrontational about it, I just make it very perfectly clear that proceeding would be extremely ill advised, and that even their own worries brought them to me asking for my opinion because they trust my judgment.
It scares me how long it takes to convince them, and how often in the end they come to me a month later and I ask them how it went, and they went and bought it anyway, for whatever far fetched rationalization they managed to construct for themselves.
Psychology is real, psychology is simple, all it takes to control humans is to have no care for anything but yourself.

This is literally just a loophole to allow foreign governments to give Trump boatloads of cash. Instead of giving him explicit gifts, you prop up the price of his worthless company's shares
But which governments, though? Which one, there are so many... I can't think of a single one that would be motivated to influence US politics and do something so blatantly anti-democratic.

I’m assuming they see massive market potential for running penis pill and gun ads on it?
Being untethered to reality is literally in the core of stock trading. It's nonsense, modern day magick for the least cool people.
It's Texas Hold'em with extra steps.
They are degenerate gamblers.
Gambling, in my personal opinion, is one of the absolutely most tragic and devastating dependencies there are, and I would include meth abuse among them. At least meth heads tend to live past 40 or so. You get gambling debts and you will be fitted with lead boots in the harbor. I lost my best friend to it, and I've seen others on the same path. Drugs are nothing compared to what gambling does to the brain. It's basically the same, only imagine a drug that you must take a new dose of every 0.82 seconds. Forever.

Coincidentally, being untethered to reality is the core mindset of the Truth Social user base.

Trump is the best thing to ever happen for the 1%. People are more divided then ever, and the media doesn't have to report on anything but him.
anything but him.
Woah now, sometimes they switch it up!
Did you see what Taylor Swift was looking at recently? Her eyeballs glanced at something for like 5 seconds! What does it mean? The internet is just absolutely going crazy over the fact that insiders claim she farts sometimes too!
/s
I remember something about a war in Europe, but then out of the blue came a super weak Hamas attack on Israel, and now I don't know who's warring whom anymore. Taylor Swift though, she's got above average looks and talent, so something is good in my world at least.
The stock market is not about company fundamentals, which they may influence people. However at the end of day, the stock market is all about the feels.
This is so damn true it hurts.
Bearish on FEELS.
The stock market is untether from reality to being with.
Philosophy Gone Wild
Could Trump's Truth Social stock value be powered by massive fraud? Experts say things like "slammed," "mystified," and "dazzled!" This and more for the next 24 hour news cycle until he does another damn fool thing that we can exploit.
The sheer level of cynicism is unhinged.
smh, it's going to flop like his hotels.
That's the plan. He just needs to cash out first.
