                      MARKETS SENT INTO A TAILSPIN

  (Mr. SUBRAMANYAM asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SUBRAMANYAM. Mr. Speaker, yesterday, the President posted on 
social media: ``This is a great time to buy.'' Then, shortly after 
that, he paused his tariff plan, the very one that sent markets into a 
tailspin.
  The market bounced back, although it is down again, and the President 
celebrated in the Oval Office with top financial executives. They 
celebrated at whose expense? The parents who watched their kids' 
college savings accounts get depleted, the retirees who rely on their 
investments to carry them through their remaining years, and the small 
business owners, including many in my district, who don't know how to 
plan and don't know how to keep the lights on at this point.
  This wreaked havoc on millions of Americans, and those Americans also 
deserve to know about what happened and who profited off of it.
  Did the financial executives know about what was going to happen? Did 
the President's donors know? Who knew and who profited from this 
``great time to buy'' tweet and everything that was leading up to it?
  We need a full investigation into what happened and who profited from 
it. The American people deserve better.
