This has been true since Trump’s firing of many career DOJ officials, but is now is terminally true: ANYONE who stays on in their jobs at DOJ after this is not just complicit, but a co-conspirator in Trump’s lawlessness. Everyone needs to resign. Today.

If the #democrats had any brains (TL;DR: they don't), they'd track down every single one of the people who were buying up CALL options while the market was in fact cratering hours before Trump pulled this stunt and caused this bounce and out them for the felonious insider traders they are.

Secretary of #Gaslighting, er, #Treasury #Bessent says the #TrumpCrash that's destroyed $6.4T in investments in 2days is just a "Magnificent 7" (AAPL, GOOG, MSFT, AMZN, META, NVDA, TSLA) problem.
ORLY? Then explain the bloodbath in the other 493 #SP500 stocks.

The #TrumpSlump continues to accelerate.
Another half trillion in your money disappearing… all because of this maniac's economic incompetence.
How long until someone #5150's this loon?

Not content to merely erase women, LGBTQIA, non-whites, and poor people from the public sphere and government, Trump is now actively trying to murder them.

The #TrumpSlump accelerates into a full blown #MarketPanic.
5 weeks of non-stop losses with 7-8 trillion in lost market value: Time for his #WallSt #masters to grow a pair and tell him to either knock it off, #resign, or be #impeached

Let's put this in perspective — TSLA has lost ONE THIRD of its value in a MONTH. All of the damage is self inflicted. And it's accelerating.
Any sane board would eject him out the airlock & invoke whatever moral hazard/moral turpitude clauses in his contract to claw back every share he owns.

The only "good news" in the #TrumpSlump is that whistling sound you hear is #Musk's net worth hurtling towards the ground. He's highly leveraged and if this continues banks will start to call his loans and sell off his stock.

The #TrumpSlump continues — this is a manufactured crash; really shocking that major companies haven't filed suit against Trump or called for his immediate impeachment for blatant market manipulation and criminal interference in trade.
