Why Trump Is Threatening Canada With Tariffs
Trump’s threats of tariffs against Canada might seem like politics as usual, but there’s a deeper pattern at play. The public is largely unaware of how market manipulation benefits the wealthy. By watching Elon Musk’s past crypto moves, we can see a familiar strategy unfolding. This isn’t about trade—it’s about profits.
The Market Manipulation Playbook
In the past, Elon Musk manipulated cryptocurrency markets by making public statements that artificially increased the value of certain coins. He would signal that he was about to invest in a cryptocurrency, causing a rush of buyers. Once the price surged, he would sell for a profit before the market corrected itself. This tactic was widely observed before he owned Twitter.
Now, Musk and Trump are close allies. Trump’s recent tariff threats against Canada resemble this same market-manipulating strategy—but at a much larger scale.
How the Cycle Works
- Trump makes a public statement threatening tariffs.
- Stock markets and currencies react, often dropping significantly.
- Investors (including those close to Trump) buy up assets at reduced prices.
- Trump delays or backtracks on the tariffs.
- Markets recover, and the value of those assets soars.
- Investors cash out, profiting from the artificial drop-and-rise cycle.
Real-World Data
Here’s how recent financial markets reacted to Trump’s tariff threats:
- Canada’s TSX Composite Index dropped by 2.3% after Trump’s statement.
- The U.S. dollar strengthened while the Canadian dollar lost 1.7% of its value.
- After Trump hinted at “delaying” tariffs, the TSX regained 1.9% the next day.
These movements provide clear opportunities for investors to capitalize on short-term volatility, just as Musk did with cryptocurrency. While there is no direct proof that Trump and his circle are executing this strategy, logic suggests it is the only reason for such behavior.
Historical Parallels
Trump has used similar tactics before:
- In 2019, he tweeted about China trade war escalations, causing massive market swings.
- During his presidency, his statements on tariffs and trade deals frequently moved stock prices.
- Musk’s cryptocurrency market manipulations followed a nearly identical pattern.

The Bigger Picture
Trump’s threats against Canada aren’t about protecting American businesses. They are about influencing markets in ways that allow insiders to make huge profits. The fact that this strategy mirrors Musk’s past crypto manipulation is too blatant to ignore.
We may not have direct proof of coordinated market manipulation, but history, logic, and financial data all point to the same conclusion.
