    Yup this is just him playing the market or at least him scheming with his rich buddies.

    Same with making these stupid comments about Canada as a 51st state. No one in Canada wants to become an American or vice versa. Nothing against Canada. He is just keeps shit like this in the headlines as a distraction while his idiot minions screw up/tear down the government.
