Quote: "By the way, Trump made close to a billion dollars overnight by bombing Syria. Just look how many shares he owns in the company that makes the missiles and how much their share price went up overnight after launching at Syria.'"
Shares in Raytheon have been climbing steadily anyway since around 2010, though incidentally they were worth a lot more only 3 weeks ago. Yes, total market capitalisation was around a billion for Raytheon at one point (+3%) but later normalised to close around 0.8% up.
BTW, it's unlikely Trump made a billion - he owns less than $15,000 in shares.
