In this sense, Trump was powerless and could not ease the scam.

The stock market began it's run up from Obama's multi trillion dollar bail out/print. That's all the stock market cares about; cheap money.

Here is what they are doing now and what built up to it-

Removed Gold standard -->

Printed cash as a substitute for real value -->

Used cheap money to prop up markets from housing to bonds -->

Took profit from retail and smaller firms during dumps to buy real assets like gold, silver, land, debt (yes debt is a real asset. Time and slavery pays it off), housing, commercial assets, securities and on and on.

This all leaves retail and firms that are NOT in the circle with the "bags" which are useless

Trump did nothing to change any of this. In fact, as far as this scheme goes, he couldn't. The fed is under the control of congress and now you know why Pelosi and friends in congress are the real power.
