"Allegations of market manipulation leveled against Donald Trump"
In a surprising turn of events, Commerce Secretary Lutnick has encouraged citizens to invest in Tesla stocks, asserting that they will never be cheaper again. This call to action came following Elon Musk's advocacy for a suspension of high additional tariffs for Tesla.
However, not everyone is convinced. Several Democratic members of Congress view the situation as a rigged game, with concerns about the misuse of insider information. These suspicions arose due to the complexity of Trump's tariff policy, which targets specific countries or product groups and includes intricate special regulations.
The President's tariff policy has been a subject of criticism, with Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer labelling it unpredictable. Schumer believes that such a policy makes governing a country impossible.
Democratic Senator Adam Schiff has expressed similar concerns, focusing on potential insider trading related to Trump's tariff fluctuations and market volatility. Schiff has questioned who in the government knew about Trump's latest tariff policy shift beforehand and if anyone profited from stock transactions.
Despite these allegations, no publicly confirmed investigation has verified whether government members conducted securities transactions before announcing Trump's latest tax increase change. Specifically, no evidence was found or reported about officials trading securities prior to Trump's announcement.
The complexity of Trump's tariff policy also makes it difficult to keep track of the changes. This has led to market volatility, as seen in the 22.7% jump in Tesla's shares following Musk's advocacy.
As the investigation continues, the public awaits clarification on these matters, seeking transparency and fairness in economic practices.
