Next little round of insider trading under way. The next announcement will be to pump things again.

I feel like this one is different. He was trying to calm the markets last night and the markets called bullshit. It was his chance to lay out a plan but they don't have one and so the market is falling. The President no longer has any credibility and isn't going to be able to move the market with his words as he was even a few days ago. I see a long fall for markets until tangible and real progress towards an open strait and an end to hostilities occurs. I don't see that happening. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if we see Israeli escalation because they want to apply pressure to keep us in this fight and can see Trump's commitment waning.

Even I tuned in because I was sure he was going to say “we’re pulling out”. He basically just read his tweets from the last few days and walked off.

I unfortunately agree with this. In his delusions, Trump is convinced that if he just says a few words then everything will be alright and countries will just do what he wants. He is the master of the deal after all. But he isn't. He is far from anything but a master at forming the deal and the truth is now at the forefront that there is very little if anything that can be done to prove it true. He (or the powers that be behind him really) want to hold onto whatever tiny support his fanbase still have. This has to be spun as a win, but even that support is beginning to fade as things are getting worse for the US, and the rest of the world is being dragged down too. The US is alone now, very alone. And they aren't too keen at cleaning up the US' mess either.

This is will be the 12th time they've completed the job and defeated Iran in the last month. Presumably this will also include the total destruction of the nuclear program for the 5th time.

For a nation that has accomplished it's mission so many times as the US supposedly has in the last 31 days, it sure seems weird how Iran still holds the Strait of Hormuz hostage like that...

Finishing the job is easy. We’ve done it dozens of times LOL.

After so many attempts, it seems like Trump just doesn’t know how to hit hard and finish the job. Amirite Melania?

This whole war is just veiled insider trading and a distraction from exposing pedophiles. Edit : always has been

The old mid-week market manipulation this time around. Trump and Friends getting their weekly bonus early!

Is he doing this on purpose? Forcing up the oil price after all the Venezuelan oil he got?

I can't keep track. We already won. We are going to ease up. We are going all in. Begging for help. Saying we don't need help. Trump has lost his mind and Republicans are cowards who won't stop him.

These oil traders need to suck up and get some balls and just keep the price of oil steady. What are they so fidgety about? Just sail through it’s not that hard. Pump it up, put it on ships, sail, dock, badabing badaboom oil!
