Trump Boasts of Billionaire Pals’ Stock Market Gains After Tariff Rollback
President Trump’s sudden suspension of tariffs resulted in a massive stock market surge, benefiting billionaires like Charles Schwab and Roger Penske, whom Trump publicly boasted about. This dramatic market increase, totaling $304 billion in gains for the world’s wealthiest, prompted accusations of market manipulation and insider trading. Democratic representatives Schiff and Gallego have called for a congressional investigation into potential illegal activity. The White House has dismissed these calls as partisan.
