I added the ROFL emoji. If they were sold before the market closed, i.e. before the tariffs announcement, then there is a pretty strong reason to suspect. If she sold after the close, then she was acting on information that anyone reading the news had.

There's a comment upstream that it was known since before the inaugural that tRump was going to raise tariffs ... yes indeedy, but the timing is still important -- she avoided a more than 10% drop the next day. And the market doesn't seem to be all that allergic to tariffs -- there were Trump II era tariffs already well before April 2. And the market (S&P 500) is up 2.1% over its election day level and up 0.4% YTD as I post this 15 minutes before the close, so some level of tariffs is not a market-killer. The size of the tariffs is important and the size of the April 2 jump in tariffs announcement surprised pretty much all the financial pundits.

Myself, I didn't leap out of the market when tRump started putting on tariffs months ago, and threatening more. Nor did I leap out of the market on or after April 2. Rather, I continued to maintain the same allocation between equities and fixed income that I maintained before the election.
