I don't know if this particular case is insider trading, but it is my experiential belief that Trump insiders have to be involved in some shady trading methods.

What risk do you think they face...?
Whoever made these moves is obviously a Trump insider.
In 2025 ass out corruption is fully legal as long as you are (or are willing to pay enough in money and public flattery).
