Public gossip about Trump's steel tariff was taking place prior to February 12th.


okay. Still, interesting timing that the sell happened with the 'reality' of a tariff, and not during all the time of 'public gossip'


The sell happened during the time of the public gossip.

Billionaire Carl Icahn, President Donald Trump’s longtime friend and former special adviser, sold $31.3 million in shares of a steel-related company just before Trump announced tariffs on imported steel and aluminum.

Icahn unloaded nearly 1 million shares in crane manufacturer Manitowoc Co. of Wisconsin from Feb. 12 to Feb. 23, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission first reported by the website Think Progress. Manitowoc relies on steel, and shares in the company fell after Trump announced on Thursday that he plans to impose a 25 percent tariff on steel. The Commerce Department’s report recommending the tariffs was made public Feb. 16.

Icahn told CNBC Thursday that he hadn’t had “much interaction” with Trump in the “past four or five months,” and had no special knowledge of what Trump planned to do or when. But the CNBC question concerned his opinion about market effect, not whether he had any privileged information. Stock trades based on insider information not available to the public are illegal.

Icahn’s selloff represented about one-third of his stake in the company, according to CNBC. Last month’s selloff was his first trading in the company’s shares since January 2015, The Washington Post reported.

Icahn’s stocks sold for between $32 and $34 a share. The shares were worth $26.93 when the market closed Friday.

Funny how the liberal leaning crew find this suspicious now, but couldn't or wouldn't find the whole Hillary email incident as just a little coincidental . Trumps been hinting at the need for some tariffs for years now. No insider info going on.



No. It was nothing 'suspicious' about doing something one was ALREADY doing and that we all do all the time.(deleting emails)

It is suspicious however, that after allegedly INTENDING to do something for two years, that a friend would choose the month you actually TAKE ACTION to dump their stock.
ok , so you regularly take a hammer and bleach bit to delete emails. Right.

President Trump signaled his intent to impose tariffs on steel before he actually did so.
It was in the US news in case you missed it.


You missed something significant too.

That is, Trump DID talk about tariffs all during the campaign. And he's talked about them more recently too.

But this guy didn't sell the day Trump was elected. He sold shortly before Trump announced actual intention to act now, just in time to make the big bucks.

And one more thing, the tariffs are NOT YET ENACTED. So Trump has NOT actually "done so" yet.

Not really. the sell happened a few weeks before he announced the EXACT tariff that will be imposed. An announcement that would be much more impactful on the market than just general 'intentions' to ' have tariffs'.

Exactly.."charity" what better way to do it than in plain sight,but note the timeliness of those charity contributions..numerous times by countries that are our enemies after securing some kind of great deal and are some of those great contributions done in the very same month that these great deals were obtained by these foreign countries or friends.

.but they say nothing or do nothing because as we're finding out the justice depts. are just as crooked..but hell if Trump farts they would swear he was sending some kind of coded message to the Russians and they would appoint a special council...and we would be waiting another year and spending millions of dollars for another diversionary tactic..spock

If you have some facts regarding this interesting timing that relates to Hilary, Id love to see them.

Charity is no crime, unless its bribery. Any actual bribery FACTS would be interesting too.

However, insider tips regarding the stock market and influencers IS a crime, and I have posted the FACTS of a suspicious timeline relevant to such a crime with Trump and his buddy.

its okay, the emperor's position is safe. I find it suspicious but I am as rare here as the little boy who called out the emperors nudity.

It's all "fake" UNLESS it can see the emperors glorious wardrobe. ...

..in one word...emails.... and the admitting of destroying evidence which equates to if nothing else obstruction of justice..But we'll wait as Trey Gowdy and Nunes slowly peel the layers of invisible clothing away and we discover the emperor is actually an empress..spock

And if that ain't some serious TRUTH. Double standards sound familiar
