The scrutiny started with a tale of two social-media posts. On Wednesday, shortly after the U.S. stock market opened, Trump posted on his Truth Social network in all caps: "THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!"
Less than four hours after his post, Trump said on Truth Social that he would pause the harshest of his tariffs on most countries.
Stocks immediately skyrocketed in relief, with the Dow closing up almost 3,000 points — meaning that any investors who had followed Trump's advice in the morning and bought into the stock market right away would have made quite a bit of money by the end of the day.
