He continued, “What if even a part of all these maneuvers — this schizo-strategy— isn’t actually about offers for us? Not all of us, and even the center class, however about serving to only a choose few?”
The previous CNN host pointed fingers at not simply Trump allies but in addition Democrats, noting, “Democrats are actually threatening to analyze Trump and his workforce of market manipulation and insider buying and selling… Whether or not you’re speaking about Trump, [Nancy] Pelosi, or anybody else in energy, it’s exhausting to take these accusations critically once they come from individuals who might also be benefiting from the identical system they’re criticizing.”
Cuomo went on to say how, on the morning of the day Trump paused the tariffs, the President tweeted, “This can be a nice time to purchase!!!”
“There have been extraordinarily suspicious trades simply minutes earlier than Trump introduced he was pausing the tariffs,” Cuomo continued. “Moments earlier than he introduced… 1 PM, merchants began betting huge that the market was going to go up by the tip of the day. How? How? Geniuses? A particularly dangerous wager… Whoever made these bets made 2,000% in an hour.”
