Trump is now alerting the public to buy stocks right this moment or lose the opportunity the what he believes will be massive gains.
During a live White House conference, President Donald Trump stated the following:
“You better go out and buy stock now.
Let me tell you.
This country will be like a rocket ship that goes straight up.
This is going to be numbers that no one has ever seen before.
That’s a very important element of this.”
The statement comes after Bitcoin surpassed its major key level of $100,000, hitting $101.4K Thursday morning.
The SPY rose to $569.20 while QQQ hovered just below $492.
Trump has been criticized by some investors for the drop seen in the markets the past few months after their initial takeoff.
However, with both the crypto and stock markets making an impressive rebound, followed by the president’s bullish stance on the economy and markets, investor confidence might just be back.
Retail investors on social media are saying the perfect storm is brewing.
The implications of president Trump’s statements are already having implications on the crypto market and will come as no surprise if we see cryptocurrencies across the board reach new highs for 2025.
Altcoins jumped upwards of 9% -14% on Thursday, signaling a positive reaction from market participants.
- Bitcoin 5.05% gains
- Ethereum 14% gains
- XRP 5.55% gains
- SOL 9% gains
- DOGE 11% gains
- ADA (Cardano) 10% gains

Is Trump Warning Short Sellers of Short Squeezes?
Donald Trump, through Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), has escalated the battle against illegal short selling, and has particularly called out Ken Griffin of Citadel for naked short selling the market.
On April 10, 2025, Qube Research & Technologies disclosed a short position of approximately six million shares in TMTG, valued at roughly $105 million, through a filing with Germany’s Federal Gazette Bundesanzeiger.
However, Trump Media alleges that Qube’s actions may involve “naked short selling,” a practice where shares are sold without being borrowed, which is illegal, though not restricted, in the U.S. due to its potential to artificially depress stock prices and destabilize markets.
DJT stock has been targeted by market manipulation, like other meme stocks such as AMC, GameStop, MULN, FNGR, NWBO, and more.
Trump’s warning to buy stocks now before they skyrocket signals a positive shift in momentum and market trends.

Retail Investors Now Have The Higher Ground
A recent report from Hedgeweek has sent warnings through the financial world, highlighting a dramatic shift in hedge fund strategies where firms are aggressively shorting U.S. equities at levels not seen since the 2008 financial crisis.
High short interest stocks (reported on our homepage) such as DJT, AMC, GameStop, FNGR, MULN, and others, have seen overleveraged bets from short sellers for years.
These bets during price reversals towards the upside may trigger significant margin calls, forcing short sellers to close their positions, further fueling retail investor buying activity.
Truth Social CEO Devin Nunes has been outspoken several times on short and distort campaigns against Trump’s company and demonstrated willingness to go head-to-head with short sellers who manipulate and suppress stock prices.
Trump’s statement on how we should buy stocks now reinforces a strong belief that short sellers might just be on the cusp of getting caught in several short squeezes across the market.
Investor sentiment on social media platforms such as Reddit and X have remained largely bullish despite the volatility seen in the last quarter.
Will retail investors finally get another chance to capitalize from short squeezes and meme stock plays again?
