Trump Takes Aim at Short Sellers as U.S. Stocks Rally

President Trump took aim at short sellers, saying many are getting “wiped out” as U.S. markets continue to rally.
Trump framed bearish bets as effectively betting against America while highlighting major market figures including Oracle $ORCL Chair Larry Ellison, Blackstone $BX, BlackRock $BLK and Goldman Sachs $GS.
He also joked that the strength of the rally is making everyone on the winning side look like a “genius.”
The comments add another dose of political rhetoric to an increasingly bullish market environment where betting against U.S. equities has become painful.
