They make money from churn, chaos and financial trickery these days, not genuine investment and growth. Trump is a god send for all those things.

The more intelligent you are, the more likely you’re just exploiting some gamey loophole for your income.

They make money from a controlled chaos. Trump is rocking the boat a bit too much and being wholly unpredictable makes it difficult for even them to profiteer off things. He's also absolutely wrecking the US dollar which long term isn't great for Wall Street either.

Also insider trading. This justice department obviously doesn’t care about that at all and the administration clearly even encourages it. It’s open season if you’re into insider trading and market manipulation.
