Pres Trump's posts on his social media site have moved the stock markets.

So, is Pres Trump effectively selling insider information to those investors who are willing to pay for it?

I'm getting a whiff of a book by Michael Lewis - Flash Boys. Yes, different yet a similar idea: shave fractions of time for players to provide them with insiders' advantage.
