That Larry Dumb Dumb can’t distinguish between the public and private messages says it all. Up is down. Kudlow, Moore, Navarro would fail as Freshman economics study group. Only the best people.

Top White House economic advisers briefed a group of majority Republican donors
This is a lot funnier when you recall that “top White House economic advisers” include such geniuses as Larry Kudlow.

There’s no way that Trump abstains from profiting from these stock market movements, himself. Only then would he allow his donors to dig into the pie.

She doesn’t need to, Hubby is the Chairman of the NY Stock Exchange. They get private briefings.

As a NYC resident, I’d be interested in learning whether or not the ‘commitment to their investors’ weighed into the administration’s response in the early days of the pandemic.
Maybe Jared felt he had to take notes on this conspiracy?

IANA securities L, but it probably does not, unless the people in the audience were insiders to the companies they consequentially traded on. Having superior information about general economic conditions is not insider trading, even if shit like this still ought to be criminal.

Corrupt and completely predictable.
However, I have to think that by 2020 these rich guys knew that they had better sources for economic prognostication than Trump’s economic advisers. They think of Trump as a useful idiot. My guess is that their bankers and investment advisers already knew a lot more than Kudlow knew about the likely toll on the economy from a pandemic.

I’m sure inside information was passed along the past 4 years. If this ever gets investigated by the SEC many will go to jail.

How can they drain the swamp if they can’t make sure the swamp stays put?

Report: Trump Advisers Gave GOP Donors Leg Up On COVID’s Economic Toll
I’d like to give GOP donors a leg up:

Exactly.
When the president is a “useful idiot” and terminally insecure, sometimes you show up just to boost his morale, or to keep him pliable.

Yes, I read in March that investment bankers and hedge funds bought the best information in the pandemic area they could buy advice from. They were way ahead of this and positioning to short in January already. They leave nothing to chance.
Added:
They also buy their weather modeling data from private firms that are generally more accurate than than the information we receive. Why? To speculate in natural gas futures and natural gas stock options.

That’s about it. Kudlow hasn’t been relevant to investors for decades. He may have told investors to “short everything!” but many did not and have done very well buying into the Amazons of WS these past six months. It’s all about the stimulus and they’ll keep betting on the market even if today’s stimulus talks fail. Biden & Co will make up the slack as soon as they’re in the WH. But it will be a bridge too far for the 10 million unemployed and the thousands of small businesses that will not reopen. Republicans once again leaving a mess for Democrats to clean up.
