There's plenty of room for institutional manipulation but I don't base any of my investing on that, simple fact is, at a very basic level and ignoring any other macro forces, Trump is threatening to slap huuuuge, bigly tariffs on China, China is the second biggest economy in the world and BHP is highly dependent on china's economy.
Therefore, yes Trump is responsible, at least somewhat for driving the BHP share price down.
