Pretty clever and effective message. I'd put money on this being shared by all my friends on Facebook in a few days.

Trump's last couple tweets have backfired and actually increased his targets' stock price though. You might have to flip the algorithm around if this continues.




I read it as the stock market betting on the constitution. Mr Trump is not allowed to impact Nordstrom negatively for his daughter's sake.

But most of the other tweets are about cases where he could harm them as POTUS.


If he can't do anything, why would the stock change at all?


Speculation again: it highlighted that Nordstrom would not be pressured into a decision that would yield poorer results.


Wouldn't that be illegal?

If you trade fast enough it still works. Nordstroms took a hit for few minutes before coming out slightly ahead.


> Nordstroms took a hit for few minutes before coming out slightly ahead.

That effect is most likely due to automated traders trying to profit from Trumps tweets.
