Isabella M Weber(@IsabellaMWeber):Trump posts on a platform he owns. Trump’s posts move markets. Trump sells early access to his posts to Wall Street. This is not corruption. This is turning the economy into a casino to enrich the president. (And please don’t tell me that the market prices resulting from all this are “rational” in any economic sense other than for the purposes of the casino.)
