I think this article and headline does a poor job of explaining the wider context around this one.
It is likely to be aimed at financial traders who want to see market-moving news fast. Trump’s social media posts often cause sudden swings in global markets, especially when he writes about trade and tariffs.

From the people I talk to, they celebrate that he can do this. To them, he’s their hero who can get away with anything. It’s a lot like if your favorite sports team can foul but not get called on it. As long as your sports team wins, it’s all good.
I’ve been saying for a long time that “winning” is the key thing amongst his fans, and their ilk elsewhere. They don’t care for making the world better, for righting wrongs, for anything other than winning. But two win, you need two things: a game to play and an opponent to lose - and they’re really good at changing those things at a moment’s notice, like a near-defeat chess player flipping over the board. Even when they run out of games to play, they can still win because your exasperation is a victory to them: maybe we are all poorer and the world is more dangerous and the existential threat is real and we’re all affected, but look how worked up you are! Haha! God you’re so triggered! You pleaded and begged them not to burn it all down, but they sniggered and did it anyway. Yes, they also lose, but they’ll just laugh at your frustration and rage, pretending that was the game all along.
