The WH press secretary didn't rule out the possibility of people in the administration shorting the stock market. If that's the case expect further tariff toilet tweets once the market has stabilized enough for another round of wealth transfer.

I am so goddamned tired of him repeating the lie that foreign countries pay the tariffs. Sure, their citizens pay any additional retaliatory tariffs, with the middle/lower class of each country paying more as a portion of their income. They think they're being sneaky transferring wealth to the top 1% and unfortunately there are not enough people paying any attention to the grift yet.
Perhaps to mitigate the repercussions from tariffs on lumber from Canada. We saw a bailout for farmers impacted by his previous tariffs, the administration may actually believe the national forests can save Trump from the consequences of his actions.
Some people tested this and it seems most likely what happened:

Because the man has no filter, he felt the need to say the quiet part out loud about his buddies profiting from this grift.
