@Miro_Collas The only consistent strategy he has had has been to violently stir the silt and then bully his pan to the front of the line to ensure that he, his family, and his patrons are first in line for the biggest chunks that might filter out.

In this, he has rightly determined that volatility is where the money is. As president, it's also where the edge and the power is, especially if the principal is unconstrained ethically or by meaningful regulatory enforcement. Not only are meaningful constraints absent, the behaviors they circumscribe in any functioning government are actively venerated and sought: a significant portion of the appointed, the elected, and the electorate see public service as a synonym for privileged access to tradable inside information in exchange for a patina of loyalty and a willingness to proudly wear the taint.

Individual retail investors, traders, and speculators are stuck in a sad murmuration reacting to his pronouncements and building narrative around them in post.
