The Democrats never seem to tire of coming up with Trump "scandals" that always eventually blow up in their faces.
Yesterday morning after the stock market was down for a few days after last week's announcement about new tariffs, President Trump's Truth Social account put this out to his nearly ten million followers and far more once the media spread it around:
THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!! DJT

Then, just hours later, this happened:
President Donald Trump has announced a 90-day pause on tariffs, as well as a lowered reciprocal tariff, a week after his Liberation Day tariff plan was announced
The market response to that news was incredibly positive:

The Democrat reaction couldn't have been more predictable.
Senator Chris Murphy said "an insider trading scandal is brewing":

Trump's 9:30am tweet makes it clear he was eager for his people to make money off the private info only he knew. So who knew ahead of time and how much money did they make? pic.twitter.com/AJbtEq372n
After four years of watching the Biden family strip mine the country via their influence peddling operation, Adam "Russia collusion" Schiff is demanding answers from the Trump White House:

The "insiders" the Democrats want us to believe exist in this case are the most outsider "insiders" ever:
Trump posts THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!—then caves on tariffs hours later. Market surges. Middle-class investors who sold during the chaos lose big. Insiders win again. This is market manipulation to help his base profit. How is this legal or OK? pic.twitter.com/iXs92TRzS5

And of course you can't have a contrived and stupid Democrat narrative without it being parroted on "The View":
🤡 Sunny Hostin accuses President Trump of "insider trading" for telling people to "buy low."

"That's normally called insider trading!"
"The corruption is just completely out in the open."

Can a president very publicly telling the entire world to buy into the market be considered "insider trading"? Maybe these Dems could explain exactly who would be the "insider" in that scenario. If anything it's "outsider trading."
I can't help but notice though that Nancy Pelosi's been rather quiet about all this. Go figure!
