IS DONALD TRUMP A GENIUS OR A BUFFOON?

IS DONALD TRUMP A GENIUS OR A BUFFOON?

As much as I have been tempted at times to write about Donald Trump I have resisted the urge. Until today! This blog is not about the individual who has divided the US into two very diverse political camps, but about the hidden genius that no one has yet uncovered. Until today! I have finally figured out what makes Trump tick and how he is amassing the largest fortune in the history of mankind.

Trump has worked very carefully on creating an image of a bigoted, racist, egocentric, uncaring, blowhard liar! He has created the media persona of an incompetent and bumbling cartoon character. The giant Baby Trump balloon that often appears at events where Trump is present, deflects everyone from the sly cunning individual who is now President of the USA. He has developed the image of someone who is a buffoon and cannot be taken seriously. Boy, has he fooled everyone!

Trump is quietly accumulating more wealth than Gates or Buffet combined. Let me explain how he has and is continuing to do it. A gambler can either play casino games or invest in the stock market to try to strike it rich. Trump is not interested in counting cards to get an edge at Blackjack (he has trouble counting) nor learning how to play Texas Hold’em Poker (small hands)! Instead, he has developed the best inside trader scheme to manipulate the stock markets of the world and no one has yet caught on. (Except me)

Trump has learned that the stock market goes up and down in an irregular fashion daily around the world. If you invest money when stocks are high you lose, and if you invest when the market is low and then rises, you can make some serious money. That truth is universal and Trumpy knows it. And whether by accident, or the close counsel of a friend or group of friends (possibly Saudis?), Trump has learned that he can make the US stock market rise and fall at his command.

In the middle of the night when he is playing Tweet, Tweet, What Shall I Tweet, he decides to have a little fun. Today I am going to tweet that I am going to impose a tariff on imported Canadian aluminum and dairy products. Next morning at the opening bell of the TSE, shares in Canadian aluminum and dairy companies plummet. Canadians tear out their hair as the stocks drop in value, while Trump quietly buys millions of dollars of the depressed stocks. Three days later, he tweets that he will not impose the tariff for six months, causing the stocks to redeem much of their lost value. Guess who just made a lot of money?

If this little tweeting game can cause Canada to quiver, just think what would happen if he were to impose a 30% tariff on all of the billions of dollars of goods imported from China. The frenzy of sellers on the Chinese exchange would provide a rich dude like Trumpy with an opportunity to again buy low and sell high, when he reduces his threat to only a !0% tariff. His opinions, threats and tweets are capable of effecting every market in any country.

Trump owns the stock markets of the world with his manipulative tweets and insider knowledge! Think about it for a minute. Is he capable of this master plan or is it just accidental? If he is really playing games with global stock markets, he is a warped genius. If he is unaware of his power, he is truly a buffoon. What do you think? Is he the Clown Prince of Incompetent Politicians or the Architect of Global Anarchy?
