The only investors who matter are the ones who are in his inner circle, and are insider trading. The last wave of tariffs was blatant market manipulation, and this next round will be more of the same. He publicly waffles back and forth, then only tells his buddies what and when the real impacts will be. So then his buddies can sell or short before dips, and buy back right before things start to recover.
My point was that his public flip-flopping is intentional, to provide plausible deniability. He can constantly flip-flop back and forth, while occasionally dropping real hints. But because they’re buried, nobody believes the hints. Then when it actually happens and the market tanks, he points to the buried hints and goes “but it was public info! It’s not market manipulation because I announced it!”

He clearly means in the context of the market just not dumping the next time he announced a tariff because they do believing him.
You’re talking about… Something else
