It's that, but it's also opportunistic traders expecting idiots to behave that way.

And before you ask: yes, it is equally idiotic. There is no bottom to the depths of this lunacy.

You mishandle just one pesky global pandemic and people are ready to play the blame game!

DJT is not going to dip below way higher than its worth before Trump gets a chance to sell. He's going to make billions of dollars off it. There's not really any point following its daily fluctuations.

I still think the best way to jandle this in the Senate is to not even let them get their soundbites. Read the charges into evidence, vote on if it's a "high crime or misdemeanor", and then vote to acquit because the House couldn't meet that standard. Treat it as a grand jury situation.

What they shouldn't do is let the idiots grandstand with a trial. No matter how much they're going to embarass themselves, all they're doing is setting up their Fox news soundbites so deny them that. They'll get mad about not having a trial, but they're going to do their angry rants anyway so don't give them an inch.

There's not going to be a trial. Schumer will probably move to dispense with it pretty much immediately and it should pass. Barring that, he'll probably move to create a special committee where the impeachment articles are "discussed" and dismissed

I'd be highly surprised if it lived more than a day

I'm expecting in the eventual SEC report on the criminal activity surrounding DJT (the second stock with that symbol) which will be released two years after the death of DJT (the failed steak saleman), it'll turn out that he's been trading the stock with a Robinhood account.

The stock price doesn't matter because its a wealth transfer of dark money from hostile government directed foreign nationals and multinational corporate opportunists. The only goal is to get Trump enough cash to keep the chaos going. So it's a meme stock at least partially based on it being such an obvious scam that dark money is going to pay out regardless to give Trump the financial backing he needs. Mostly being facilitated through crypto finance channels.

Shadybank in a country with poo poo financial laws and a willingness to ignore them to avoid sanctions does deals with Tainted Multinational through a bunch of dummy corporations and crypto finance houses. Whether the money originates from organized crime, oligarch squeezing, government funding, doesn't really matter. The source directing from on high remains the same. Money flows from there to the crypto pathway because it's far easier to avoid sanctions with a calvinball currency that most of the planet doesn't have laws for. Meet up with a big crypto billionaire a few times and work out the details of how to wash the laundered funds into a position where they can be moved around and obfuscated by investors.

Well what do you know all those tech and crypto funds want to buy tech stock. Like say a social media company that isn't worth anything, but acts as a convenient avenue to transfer cash into Trump's coffers. So they buy Trumps worthless stock at whatever price because taking a loss doesn't matter in the end with money that needed to be laundered anyways. A twofer joke committing blatant campaign finance crimes and investment crimes and there being nothing much anyone is going to do about it. Everyone along the way is smiling and taking a cut because the dark money flow isn't going to stop till Trump has funding.

But why would they be willing to take this kind of financial loss? The investment is worthless! Yes, but compared to any weapon you can purchase and wield against the US and NATO, Trump is a loving bargain. How much is an F-35? If you send tanks and guys with guns into grandmas house you're going to invite swift military retaliation. Plus you can't compete in that arena technologically anymore. But you can send robocalls and alt right media in a firehose into grandmas face 24/7 and she'll wake up the next morning asking for more. Rage baiting and fear mongering are a heady mix that work and the victim becomes an addict and the cancer spreads. How much are you gaining by having Trump and his cronies block Ukraine funding? Spend a billion or two on Trump and block billions more in aid? Easy calculus there.

Trump's ability to destabilize the US and its allies is worth ten times as much as anything they've paid Trump off with even when he's out of power. And his actions when he was president show he's more than willing to sell out and horse trade for intel secrets and whatever else he can inflict himself on if he's allowed to do so. The whole election process and judicial system are in turmoil unable to deal with an actual traitor president with external financial backing and unlimited cimes.

Short reply, but: Good to know, thank you!
