Warren Accuses Trump of Market Manipulation, Insider Profits Over Tariff Chaos
Senator Warren accuses Trump of market manipulation through erratic tariff decisions, alleging insider profit.
Trump's unpredictable tariffs, including a sudden hike on Chinese goods and a temporary pause, are causing market instability and economic uncertainty.
Congress is facing pressure to investigate Warren's claims and address the economic impact of Trump's tariff policies.
President Donald Trump’s 90-day tariff pause gave crypto markets a brief moment to breathe—but the calm didn’t last long. Behind the scenes, political tensions are heating up fast. U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren is now going after Trump with serious accusations, claiming his unpredictable tariff moves may have been more than just bad policy. She says they might have been a calculated play to benefit his wealthy allies.
Could these sudden shifts in trade policy be more than meets the eye? The story gets deeper—and more explosive—the further you look.
Is Trump Playing the Market?
Warren is urging an independent investigation to find out whether Trump’s sudden tariff changes were meant to benefit his wealthy Wall Street allies. She argues that his actions go beyond bad economic planning and could point to deeper issues. Calling the pattern “corruption,” Warren claims that insiders close to Trump may have made profits by taking advantage of market chaos.
One of Warren’s main concerns is the sharp increase in tariffs on Chinese goods—from 105% to 125%—which caught markets off guard. Around the same time, Trump announced a 90-day pause on tariffs for other countries. This brief relief calmed the markets temporarily, but Warren believes the timing may have been deliberate—giving insiders a chance to “buy the dip” before prices bounced back.
Economic Warning Signs Are Flashing
Warren didn’t stop there. She blamed Trump’s constant changes in trade policy for hurting the U.S. economy, saying the “flip-flopping” has shaken investor confidence. With factory output slowing and job openings (JOLTS data) showing weakness, fears of a possible recession and rising inflation are growing.
From the Senate floor, Warren called on Congress—especially Republicans—to take action and put an end to what she calls “Trump’s tariff chaos.” She warned that this unpredictable approach to trade could cause even more damage to the economy if left unchecked.
More Lawmakers Join In
Representative Steven Horsford also criticized Trump’s sudden tariff reversal, saying it might be an example of market manipulation. He questioned who benefited from the move, hinting that billionaires may have taken advantage of the situation. His comments reflect growing concern in Congress that Trump’s trade policies are helping a select few while creating volatility.
Other lawmakers have also raised red flags, worried that Trump’s unpredictable trade strategy could harm the U.S. economy in the long run.
Former National Security Advisor John Bolton also voiced his disapproval. He said Trump’s tariff approach is flawed, and instead of working with allies to hold China accountable for intellectual property theft, Trump has picked fights with major trading partners.
As political and economic tensions rise, attention is now on Congress. Will lawmakers launch a formal investigation into Warren’s claims of market manipulation? For now, the pressure is building—and the markets are watching closely.
