Pretty blatant attempt to juice the markets going into the weekend. Looks like it failed.

I think it’s even more sinister and cynical than that. This weekend’s gonna be a fakeout, the real invasions gonna be next weekend. Activating last week/this week just keeps people from going on leave for the holiday, and they get a 3 day weekend to f*** up because the markets will be closed for Good Friday. Plus it ties in with the whole White Christian Nationalism thing they’ve got going on.

Launch on Good Friday, declare victory on Easter Sunday.

More cynical IMO: he will intentionally f*** up the markets on Monday or Tuesday. Real chest thumping shit. Maybe blow up a power plant or two. Drive down the stock indexes as much as possible. Why? A recession is generally regarded as two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth. Trump doesn’t understand that GDP and stock indexes aren’t the same. He’ll tank out the markets to lower the bar for “growth” at the end of the second quarter. Then brag and brag about the “economy” going into the election.

Well here in Ireland they are accepting bets on Trump invading on April 1st ahead of his new deadline. You see Trump thinks this is ingenious out of the box thinking not realising that Iran are fully prepared for their attempt like .. Yesterday. Trump thinks April the 1st is a holy day in easter ..

Maybe it's sinking in that it doesn't matter what he says -- the energy supply chain is busted, and will stay busted, until *Iran* decides it it's not busted any more. Trump has no power here. He had the power to attack, but actions have consequences beyond his control.

At this point the supply chain is fucked for a while. It’ll take years to rebuild just to get back to where we were.

Trump will time the increase in the markets to coincide with Easter. He’ll claim it’s the greatest resurrection since Jesus.

Yeah, announcing another 10,000 troops for the meat grinder on the same day tends to throw a bit of a wet blanket over stuff like that.

And the effect is zero. No one buys this clown’s bullsh*t anymore. It doesn’t even know what’s going on as it lives in some filtered reality bubble controlled by equally stupid people. Witkoff and Kushner are useless and just spewing bs as well. See the writing folks - Dump is taking the world straight to hell…

Bullshit. They already have hit two power plants in Isfahan and Khoramshahr. He lies while Netanyahu does whatever the f*** he wants.

I suspect talks are ongoing internally about what the plan is going to be since they didn’t have one at the start.

The talks are just the voices in trumps head?

>the voices in trumps head? I think we give him too much credit. He's just a useful pedophelic demogogue. No one talks about Project 2025 anymore.

Who hallucinates more? Trump or LLMs?

aradraugfea Mar 27, 2026 +6
Are the talks in the room with us? Because all I’m hearing is Trump sending Iran terms of surrender and Iran flipping him a left handed bird and sending more drones to attack oil infrastructure.

All because we can't arrest him for child r***.

CptVague Mar 27, 2026 +2
Nobody would be arresting him for it anyway. There is no "we" because the DoJ is under his control. The will of the people matters very little most of the time, and not at all in this case. Iran is not a distraction, it's just Trump following through on what he couldn't get away with in his first term. The same with Venezuela.

The news abandoned Epstein. It's a distraction.

bamboo_shooter Mar 27, 2026 +4
It’s not. Everyone knows about the Epstein thing and nobody cares/will do anything about it. They are just doing this because Israel wants them to

GroblyOverrated Mar 27, 2026 +1
Nobody cares because it's no longer being discussed.
1
bamboo_shooter Mar 27, 2026 +2
But even if it was, who’s gonna do anything about it? The death cultist republicans? The absolutely useless democrats?
2
GroblyOverrated Mar 27, 2026 +1
We are. In November.

bamboo_shooter Mar 27, 2026
I mean don’t get me wrong, I want to see the republicans out as much as the next guy but do you think electing a fresh batch of democrats will solve anything? The whole party is complicit at best

CptVague Mar 27, 2026 +1
You can discuss all you like; discussion is meaningless without action and there will never be action on this specific issue. I say this really hoping I'll be wrong - I'd be happy to be dead wrong and would own my incorrectness.

So Trump lied again, gosh, golly, who woulda thunk it?

Let's see if he can crack the 70% disapproval rating on handling Iran. He hasn't quite yet figured out there's a reason why no one's done what he did before.

thejwillbee Mar 27, 2026 +4
To the war that the US "won in a single day" a couple of weeks ago?

TheCheshireCody Mar 27, 2026 +2
Against an enemy whose nuclear infrastructure we had "obliterated" several months ago.
2
darthy_parker Mar 27, 2026 +4
Going to end up with a non nuclear agreement that’s not basically any different from the one Trump exited in his first term, plus major oil and gas infrastructure damage, plus restrictions on Hormuz passage, without regime change or support for the civilian uprising. In other words, a net loss dressed up as a “win”.

War crime. Putin/Netanyahu also guilty

I mean he’s technically right… somewhere talks are still ongoing amongst a group of people; just not pertaining to Iran or involving him.

TACO. Everyone knows he is going to do this (especially Iran).

Clueless moron has not the first clue what he's doing.

Fragster2020 Mar 27, 2026 +1
Yep . That’s why they’ve deployed ground troops to “help” with future peaceful talks.

PhatYeeter Mar 27, 2026 +1
He's doing the same shit he did with the tariffs

By that he means he chickened out lol taco trump

What happened to “unconditional surrender” and “we negotiate with bombs?”
1
stevenmacarthur Mar 27, 2026 +1
Mr. President, it's not proper to refer to "talks" when the only one you're talking with is yourself.

Bugatti_Royale Mar 27, 2026 +1
I'll be happy when I see a total ceasefire, but as we are Israel's b**** this could be proven wrong at any moment.

Crazy how the leader of Iran sounds just like Marco Rubio.

are the Iranians in this very room right now?

Can some ELI5 what change on the last minute is probably going to happen so he'll manipulate the stock market? Is he going to say I'm sending strikes in 2 day haha change my mind, then pump and dump something he has stock in? How does his scheme work? Oh yeah, and I know Iran won't let the US pass the straight and they basically have control of it without them sending millions of ground troops.
