It’s both possible and plausible that insider trading preceded Trump’s Iran announcement

It's f****** definite

Of course it did- Don Jr is on the board of Polymarket.

Yeah, no shit

And probable, too.

It’s ~~both possible and plausible~~ a given that insider trading preceded Trump’s Iran announcement FIFY

It’s also possible and plausible Trump is a child abuser, but he got away with that so…

Wars are generally fought for profiteering purposes. There’s a reason republicans are well known for and expected to instigate wars of choice in the Middle East.

Donald is selling American might and soldier lives to whoever's buying.

From the column: *President Donald Trump’s announcement that he was in* [*“productive” peace talks with Iran*](https://www.ms.now/news/trump-iran-talks-war-five-days-strikes) *on Monday morning was a surprise. But an unusual burst in trading activity just 15 minutes before his announcement has raised questions about whether people with access to inside information about the announcement attempted to illegally profit from it.*  *Trump’s announcement immediately pushed the price of oil down, because it signaled that his war on Iran might be coming to an end sooner rather than later. That would potentially free up the roughly 20% of the global oil supply that has largely remained stuck in the Persian Gulf due to* [*Iran’s stranglehold on the Strait of Hormuz*](https://www.ms.now/opinion/trump-iran-strait-hormuz-nato-allies-germany-china)*. Traders who bet on the unexpected Trump news* [*positioned themselves*](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-03-24/iran-strikes-persist-even-as-trump-claims-talks-to-end-conflict) *to make money from the price of oil dropping.*

It’s so f****** obvious. This administration is the largest and most successful crime organization that ever existed.

Uhh, DUH? How are people still surprised by this? This entire regime is corrupt and lawless. He's spent his entire life breaking the law and the one time he was about to face consequences for it, you MAGA voter idiots got him off. Just as he wanted. "I don't care about you, I just want your vote"

Even if there’s no direct proof of insider trading, the fact that markets keep moving right before major announcements is a massive trust problem. At some point it stops looking like coincidence.

"Certain." the word is "Certain." Nothing could be more obvious than the nose on your face.

This should be bigger news than the YouTube meta verdict

Both obvious and definitely

Possible? plausible? Wrong choice of words. (Duh)

But how *could* they have known… ? What a puzzle.

That's a strange way to say, "all but certain."

possible, plausible, or just plain obvious

The window of opportunity is small. The timing is narrow. And, the evidence will be found. Follow the money. Who got rich? Who did they communicate with? How do those communications link back to the white house inner circle? Who will cooperate to avoid prosecution? There are plenty of guilty parties. They all know who they are. They may think they’re safe now. Maybe for some that will be true. But not for all. A day will come, and examples will be made. Until then sleep well if you can.

Just say probable

The article misspelled “obvious and criminal”.

Fiddling the books and vulnerability.. dear Watson

"It’s ~~both possible and plausible~~ guaranteed that insider trading preceded Trump’s Iran announcement" FTFY

He's been doing this for years.

Justice, for all

Ya think?

Yes, we all know that the entirety of this regime, from its head, Donald J. Trump, on down, are conspiratorially corrupt.

Can they not identify these traders?

Plausible? It definitely happened. 

No shit

Somehow these fucksticks won’t be punished for their crimes and that makes me sick.

I’m shocked!!!

Gee, ya think?

Probable too

If they even attempted an investigation you would find that they did engage in it

No way!?!

And Venezuela?

Duh

can they actually find who placed the trades?

Will it be illegal when Trump shorts his stock just before sending 500 soldiers to die? No, it'll be just another Monday.

Of course it did. That’s how this administration rolls. Cheat Americans and make the rich richer.

Surges occur before earnings calls. The arrival time was public information.

obvious and undeniable.... tired of these sugar coated ass headlines

Half a billion 15 minutes beforehand? Wow what s f****** coincidence!

help me out, I'm confused. if someone bought a bunch of oil futures just before Trump's announcement that sent the price of oil plunging, then didn't they \*lose\* money on the deal? i guess whoever sold benefitted, but you can't use insider trading to make someone else buy it, you can only offer it up for sale. or is the allegation that somone in the know was moving money around in an illegal way?

It’s expected

Maybe Trump just needs to not telegraph his actions. Maybe one of his cronies may decide to donate half of their illegal proceeds to a soup kitchen or homeless shelter.
