You know, I have boycotted CNN or a while now. But since this debacle began with the tariffs, I have watched her show and SHE IS NOT PLAYING. Today she said that something about this whole thing does not add up, and brought up the possibility of manipulation.
The chyron now on her show reads, "Trump Posts, Pause Timing Raise Questions About Company Stock".
She has really been letting him have it and is not buying any of his
varying stories or those of his minions. Refreshing!

(6,118 posts)Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

(76 posts)Burnett is very solid and always underrated. Her finance background is perfect for deeper coverage of the chaos. One of CNN's best shows.

(10,346 posts)Americans fall for his schtick! He frequently reminds me of a school-boy giving an oral book report on a tome he never even laid eyes upon!
The tragedy is that so many people are mesmerized by his nonsense and intimidated by intelligence! God forbid a president of the United States ever use a word they'd have to look up in the dictionary on the phone they have right there in their hands!
As long as he shows he's just as dumb & bigoted as they are they'll love & support him to the grave!

(8,378 posts)In 2015 and 16 he was working with someone (IIRC some oligarch) who was working with Trump** but he came over to our side (including providing a heap of testimony) and has been with Meidas Touch for a number of years now (and also has his own Substack.) It was on today's Meidas Touch podcast that he made that statement.
I hadn't heard about anyone getting ready to make a bombshell statement - and can't imagine what could possibly be worse than everything we already know.
