The Trump Pump That Didn’t Pump by Sarnia de la MarĂ© for Politica UK. Markets plunged today as Bitcoin continued its breathtaking descent from the dizzy heights of October, a fall experts are calling ‘predictable,’ ‘inevitable,’ and ‘surprisingly still not the bottom. That's right, Bitcoin — the world’s most famous imaginary rock — has plummeted again. And somewhere in Florida, the President of the USA is insisting it’s all going exactly to plan.
