From Wall Street to blockchain, the term “mouse warehouse” is not a new phrase.
However, in the past, the mice had some shame and were somewhat secretive, but now they are completely laying their cards on the table, no longer pretending.
In early 2025, Trump issued Meme coins and manipulated the market under the guise of “cryptocurrency strategic reserves.” Today, Trump wields the tariff big stick, plays Sichuan opera, and repeatedly changes his face, pushing this conspiracy of power and capital to a historic high point.
When the president transforms into a trader, regulation becomes a fig leaf, and the world has seemingly turned into a giant mouse warehouse arena — and you and I are merely prey in this game.
The White House becomes a casino: Trump's face-changing technique
“Since more than 75 countries have contacted the United States willing to negotiate, and at my strong suggestion, there has been no retaliation against the United States in any way, shape, or form, I have authorized a 90-day suspension, during which I will significantly reduce the reciprocal tariffs on other countries to 10%, effective immediately.”
During trading hours, Trump's social media statement caused a dramatic reversal in the previously anxious U.S. stock market indices, leading to a massive surge.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average soared over 2900 points, an increase of 7.87%, marking the largest increase since March 25, 2020; the S&P 500 jumped 9.52%, the largest increase since October 29, 2008; the Nasdaq rose 12.16%, setting the second largest single-day increase in history.
The “big seven tech giants” of the U.S. stock market all surged, with a total market value increasing by $1.85 trillion (approximately 13.4 trillion yuan) in just one day, and all of this occurred within a few hours.
Interestingly, shortly after the U.S. stock market opened, Trump posted on his social media platform Truth Social, stating, “Now is an excellent time to buy.” He also encouraged his fans to “stay calm” and predicted that “everything will be resolved smoothly.” At the time, this statement seemed to be an encouragement to the market, but combined with everything that happened afterward, it inevitably leads to more speculation.
According to market data disclosed by Unusual Whales, prior to Trump's “buy” suggestion, traders had already opened a large number of bullish options on $QQQ, $TQQQ, and $SPY. Even more shocking is that just before the announcement of the tariff suspension, someone opened a $SPY 509 call option expiring that day, and these options skyrocketed within just an hour.
