Especially when felon47 is gone. Remember, the normal statute of limitations for a 2026 tax return is 3 years from date of filing. So 4/15/2027 +3 =4/15/2030. And he won’t file by 4/15/2027.

Rinse and repeat. Drive the price of oil down, but sell on inside info, then buy at the bottom, and talk the price back up again, then sell, then bomb, then buy at the bottom again...

At this rate, with Trump's on/off "war and peace" bullshit, he'll cash in billions more before he's finished (and please let that be soon!. )
