I want to focus on the corruption surrounding Donald Trump's taco, Trump always chickens out,

0:07.1

or Donald Trump's fifth grade trade war letters that he's now calling deals that are being sent

0:14.0

to countries like Brazil where he's like, I don't like you.

0:16.9

I'm going to put on a 50% tariff unless you release Jair Bolsonara who tried to do a coup against you.

0:23.8

We've seen this when Donald Trump initially announced his tariffs against the world on what he called Liberation Day, but was really liquidation day.

0:32.8

And even before that, the unusual trading activity on Wall Street that would take place surrounding

0:41.0

these things.

0:42.0

And I know sometimes we can get distracted and how can't you when you take a look at a letter

0:52.5

You need to stop a witch hunt immediately, unlawful and blah, blah, blah.

At which point it looks like the big trader exited his trade instantly. And we're talking about

1:36.1

1:43.0

in less than three hours, a profit that's being made here.

1:47.1

The same thing with the copper tariffs. You know, we see unusual activity there. As Hikimian says,

1:53.6

I have a good reason to believe somebody knew the copper tariffs were coming and traded the news
