Here we go.
Senator Adam Schiff on Wednesday called on Congress to investigate whether President Donald Trump engaged in insider trading or market manipulation when he abruptly paused a sweeping set of tariffs, a move that sent stock prices skyrocketing.
“I’m going to do my best to find out,” Schiff, a California Democrat, tells TIME.
“Family meme coins and all the rest of it are not beyond insider trading or enriching themselves.
I hope to find out soon.”

Trump’s Tariffs Whiplash Is Open Corruption. He Admitted It Himself.
Trump posted a message to his followers just before pausing the bulk of his tariffs.

Trump may have accidentally confessed to insider trading and market manipulation on Truth Social.
“THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!! DJT,” the president wrote on Wednesday, a mere four hours before announcing a 90-day pause on most retaliatory tariffs except for China, yet another market-shocking announcement that caused stocks to shoot up.
“Trump’s Truth Social now basically promotes veiled insider trading on upcoming announcements,” wrote health and economics expert Eric Feigl-Ding.
“Trump’s benefactors are gleefully watching.”
The New York Times’ Aaron Sorkin called it two days ago on CNBC.

Yawn.
Corruptocrats accusing the not corrupt guy of corruption, it must be another day that ends in Y.

This honestly wouldn't surprise me. We've never had an administration that wasn't doing insider trading to some degree.

Do you consider Trump announcing to everyone on Truth Social to buy stocks insider trading?

He's just jealous that to this day, Trump can paint a chart better than anybody else in the world.

I heard about that.
It's pretty sketch. Possibly not insider trading, but he did (indirectly) announce it beforehand to users of his social media company. He definitely "leaked" insider information.
Trump and his bros did this (front running his market moving tweets) constantly during his first term also but nothing happened. He's the greatest daytrader ever. Corrupt to the bone. However, I seriously doubt the Congresscritters are doing anything more than flapping gums about it. Schumer is Wall Street's main man in the Senate, after all.

How is the president informing the public a "leak"?
Can he be charged every time he holds a press conference?
Don't let the corruptocrats warp your mind.
Its only Market Manipulation if Trump is planning it ahead of time and not just having tantrums.
The epic short squeeze wasn't planned... Trump was destabilising the basis trade and about to annihilate the hedgefunds and banks if the tariffs weren't paused. Somebody explained to him that powers greater than he would end him if he didn't pause immediately.
Trump doesn't have a clue what the basis trade even is.
Now the people around him who do have a clue and are making out like gangsters? Insider trading for sure... but its pretty random, being in the right place at the right time to know when the next irrational move is about to land... Thats kinda just survival at the moment. Most of the billionaires are losing their shirts along with everyone else.

The Trump presidency seems in the process of announcing tariffs, delaying tariffs, over and over again, in what looks like similar market manipulation techniques as Elon Musk has been using by which huge amounts of money could be made through options.
So first the tariffs came into effect on “liberation” day 2 April, then a 90-day pause on the tariffs except China were announced on 7 April, and dismissed as fake news by the Trump team, before the 90-day pause on the tariffs except China came into effect on 9 April!?!
It could of course also be a mere mass brainwashing technique, as people will get so confused over the never ending change in these policies that we won’t be able to figure out what’s really going on: https://archive.is/RsR3o
What a surprise?!?
On 12 April, Chinese computer technology – smart phones, computers, chips – was exempted from Trump’s 145% (!) tariffs on China: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c20xn626y81o
Then on 13 April, Trump denied that Chinese made “electronics” are exempt from his “fentanyl tariffs” (20%?!?):

Wall St. Analyst: The United States is Now an Emerging Market – We Now have a Government by the Lawless, Shameless and Clueless
Yesterday, April 9, 2025, the U.S. Stock Market saw its intraday trading suddenly increase to levels that have never before been seen in a single day, after President Donald Trump announced a pause on some tariffs. Shortly after that, Trump had a meeting in the Oval Office of the White House...
