If you happen to know it's a lie, you could make tons of money scooping up assets as they're sold. A perk of being in the Trump group chat.
I really hope someone is watching admin insider trades and seeing who's buying the dips at times like this.
My sister @loradob now includes the list of banned words for federal grant writing in the US on the last slide of any scientific presentation she's giving.

I was a Republican asshole once, so was my brother, so was my husband, so were many of my friends. In fact, judging from the people I've met here, many of you grew up in oppressive Conservative/Religious environments, but you changed too. It is possible, we have a fight coming up, and we are going to need as many people as we can get.
