Описание: When GameStop’s stock surged with the help of amateur traders and Reddit’s r/wallstreetbets in January, the traditional financial world was taken almost entirely by surprise. CNN’s Chris Cillizza explains the politics at work in the stock’s surge — and how it connects to some of the same ideas pushed by former President Donald Trump.
