Why it worked
The post likely worked due to its provocative and conspiratorial nature, leveraging a well-known political figure and a topic (stock market manipulation) that often generates strong opinions and engagement.
Summary
The post features an image of Donald Trump holding stacks of money, overlaid with text alleging he intentionally crashed the stock market to profit from call options before canceling tariffs. The text suggests a scheme to manipulate the market for personal gain.
