Donald Trump personally profited from missile-maker Raytheons stock jump after his Syria attack

[Galraedia]

While the world is dealing with both the implications and the fall-out from President Donald Trump’s missile attack on a Syrian airfield on Thursday, the manufacturer of the Tomahawk missile used in the attack is seeing their stock surge which is good news for their investors — including the president.

As noted by the Palmer Report, Trump owns stock in Raytheon, which was reported by Business Insider in 2015.

According to Trump’s financial disclosure reports filed with the FEC in 2015, his stock portfolio includes investments in technology firms, financial institutions and defense firms, including Raytheon.

On Thursday, Trump launched an attack on the al-Shayrat military airfield, used by both Syrian and Russian military forces, hitting it with 59 Tomahawk missiles manufactured by Raytheon. Trump’s attack on Syria was reportedly in response to a deadly gas attack launched by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad against his own people earlier in the week.

8. This 58 year old hippie agrees 100%

Fuck this.

2. The real scandal is the projected increase in def. budget at the expense of other critical agencies.

it's rare for a person to know every detail of their stock investments and I doubt pumping his stocks up was his prime motivation here.

3. K&R for exposure.

4. republican "values" really don't square with American honesty, integrity

or patriotism. Profiteering off of a military action you order? Vile.

[Roy Rolling]

5. SEC

I would investigate every option and stock trade in Raytheon leading up to the attack and right after. How much does he own? Did he buy more?

6. Lock him...

Oh, why bother.

No. Was it a post box in the Cayman Islands?

[mopinko]

13. Foreign policy by stock manipulation is worse than insider trading. It's insider traitoring.

14. So much for that blind trust thingy.

He and his horrible family are making money, right now, on his incompetence. So he has gone on vacations at his properties every 2.8 days.

He's also starting to charge the Secret Service for putting them up AT Mar a lameass. Are you fucking kidding me? I guess when some AG with a soul tries to bring the charges against the Orange Menace Beauregard will fire them.
