A single sentence in the morning caused a huge rebound in the stock market! Trump's post sparked an investment frenzy, with DJT and TSL soaring over 20%.

A word from the president, and the money just follows?

U.S. President Donald Trump posted a statement on the social platform Truth Social saying "Now is a good time to buy," which allowed obedient investors to earn a significant return that day. He then announced adjustments to the previously disruptive tariff policy, leading to a strong rebound in the stock market in the afternoon, resulting in a historic day.

Trump's morning "buy" post triggers a reversal during trading.

At 9:37 AM Eastern Time, shortly after the stock market opened, Trump posted on Truth Social stating: "THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!" He ended with the letters "DJT," which is both his initials and the stock code for his own company, Trump Media & Technology (the parent company of Truth Social).

For investors who entered the market based on Trump's post, this is quite a lucrative deal. That afternoon, Trump announced he would adjust the import tax plan he unveiled last week, and the market immediately rebounded significantly, reversing the previously sluggish trend.

DJT stock price surged by 22%, marking a new high for daily gains this year.

In the minute after Trump's post was published, the DJT stock price fell to a low of $16.69, but in light of the market's interpretation of the post and subsequent policy loosening, the stock price surged to $20.40, an increase of 22.2%, and ultimately closed with a rise of over 21%, marking the best single-day performance of the year.

If you had invested $1,000 to buy DJT at that time, selling at the highest point of the day could yield a profit of up to $1,222, earning $222 in just a few hours.

Tesla also benefited, achieving its best single-day performance since 2013.

The connection between Trump and Tesla has also benefited the stock. Due to Tesla CEO Elon Musk leading a government efficiency-related initiative, the company is closely tied to the dynamics of the Trump administration. Although Tesla's dealerships have recently faced protests and vandalism, this has not affected the stock price performance.

When Trump posted, Tesla's stock price was as low as $226.27, soaring to $274.69 in the afternoon, with an increase of as much as 21.4%, ultimately rising over 22% for the day, the largest single-day gain since 2013.

If you had invested $1,000 at that time, you could have received a return of about $1,214 at the day's peak.

The S&P 500 index soared, achieving the largest single-day increase since 2008.

Also benefiting are ETFs that track major indices, such as the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (ticker: SPY). The lowest price of this ETF when Trump posted was $494.11, reaching an intraday high of $548.62, an increase of about 11%, and closing up 10.5%, marking the largest single-day gain since the financial crisis.

An instant investment of 1,000 dollars can be exchanged for about 1,110 dollars at the peak, yielding quite impressive returns.

Retail investors are discussing: Does this count as market manipulation?

As soon as the news broke, Reddit's WallStreetBets forum was immediately stirred up, with many retail investors sharing whether they "believed Trump's words" and made money. One user claimed to be a "prophet," stating that they had already put their entire retirement account into the stock market the day before Trump’s post.

However, many people have expressed skepticism about this, questioning whether it has already crossed the line or even constituted market manipulation. Some netizens commented: "This is simply the pinnacle of insider trading. If you are in the White House and haven't made money from this wave, then you might be the dumbest person on Earth."

Trump's influence on social media remains strong, but the market still needs to be observed.

Although the stock market showed a strong rebound after Trump's posts and policy adjustments, overall, the U.S. stock market has not fully returned to the levels before he announced the tariff policy. Even with the S&P 500 rising more than 9% that day, it is still down about 3% compared to last week.

Trump's remarks and market fluctuations once again showcase his "influence" in the financial markets, but this high volatility and policy-driven market risk also remind investors: not every time you "follow orders" will there be rewards.
