1. Wow, Trump confidant Carl Icahn is such a LUCKY GUY.

Right before Trump announces a steel tariff that tanks manufacturing stocks, he dumped 1 MILLION SHARES of the one of the companies that was hardest hit.

Such a fortunate coincidence.

2. Icahn recently sold almost 1 million shares Manitowoc, a company that makes cranes out of steel. He was forced to disclose the transaction to the SEC on Feb 22.

It was one of the hardest hit by Trump's announcement. It's down 12% since yesterday!

3. Important context: Icahn resigned from his position as special adviser to Trump last summer just before the New Yorker exposed that he contacted the EPA to advocate for a regulatory change to benefit one of his investments goo.gl/jLyDAS
4. On CNBC yesterday, Icahn seemed to acknowledge that he's in touch with Trump saying he hasn't talked to him "much" in the last 4 to 5 months. goo.gl/jLyDAS
