Trump stands to profit off US policy announcements by selling fast access to his social media posts

NEW YORK — Investors looking to get a jump on White House announcements will be able to buy sneak peeks starting Saturday as a Trump family company starts selling special, fast access to the president’s posts on social media. The new business targeting special computerized trading firms raises ethics questions about whether it constitutes insider trading and how far should a president be allowed to use his public office to help his private business. A prolific poster, Donald Trump has sent stocks soaring and plunging with his online musings and threats. The White House had no comment, and the company dismissed the ethics issue, saying Democratic critics just don’t like free markets

Why am I not surprised to see that Elon Musk is promoting the violence against immigrants in Belfast. Is he so rich that his life no longer has any meaning, nor do the lives of others? So people have become avatars in his personal video game of a life? What sickness is this?
Belfast Violence Continues. After anti-immigrant violence overtook the city of Belfast in Northern Ireland for a second night yesterday. Nationalist-populist influencers have called for unrest over an attack described online as an attempted beheading. The attack took place Monday, when a Sudanese-born suspect was filmed using what is believed to be a kitchen knife to hack at a white man in Belfast. The victim lost his eye and was hospitalized with serious injuries as of this writing. Anti-immigrant protests have since erupted, amplified by nationalist-populists including Tommy Robinson and billionaire Elon Musk. The protests turned violent, with people setting fire to buses, cars, and homes in immigrant neighborhoods (see footage). The family of the victim has denounced the riots, calling for any demonstrations to be peaceful. The unrest comes days after the sentencing of a Sikh man over the murder of white teenager Henry Nowak. That attack has also sparked ethnic tensions, after police initially took the attacker’s allegations at face value.
