Trump was always the grossly bloated poisonous toad sitting in the dead center of the Swamp.

DeMarcusQ Mar 23, 2026 +12

This is exactly what it is. Basically signaling all his constituents to sell. There haven't been any (as of right now) credible sources saying these "talks" are even taking place. Plus, there is nothing to stop Iran from keeping the straights closed if or when the US pulls out. He's just saying things to get a lower floor for all the oil markets.

>The timing of the earlier volume spikes across both equities and crude caught the attention of traders, particularly given the absence of an obvious catalyst at the moment they occurred. >Early-morning futures markets are typically less liquid, which can make short bursts of buying and selling more noticeable than during regular trading hours. Still, the trades raised some eyebrows because whoever purchased a large amount of stock futures and sold or shorted crude futures at that moment made a lot of money just minutes later. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/03/23/volume-in-stock-and-oil-futures-surged-minutes-before-trumps-market-turning-post.html

The stock crash and high gas prices were killing him. This is not unexpected that he had no concept Of the ramifications of his actions.

Do you want him to actually do this?

Hellstorm901 Mar 23, 2026 +1

To be fair this was more a case of his own allies including the Shah's son telling him to calm down the latter because bombing that infrastructure at best means the Us would have to pay to rebuild it when he took over or at worst would kiss any prospects of a revolution goodbye

So if he strikes he gets criticized as a warmonger and if he doesn’t he’s a chicken? Typical delusional liberal logic right here

Mataelio Mar 23, 2026 +15

He was the one that said he was going to do it, don’t b**** and wine because he’s being called out for once again backing out of something he insisted he was going to do. It’s just further proof that no one has any reason to ever negotiate or bargain with Trump, because he will just flip flop from one day to the next. You can have an agreement but then he’ll randomly decide to pull out of it. He might make a threat if you don’t do something, but then decide not to go through with it despite his demands not being met. So let me ask you, why the hell should anyone believe anything this man says?

Throwaway1920214 Mar 23, 2026 -12

Yes but im assuming Trump didnt just pull that out of his ass. Its obvious Iran has to deny the talks to save themselves from embarrassment for trying to negotiate.

-12

Mataelio Mar 23, 2026 +9

Trump pulls the vast majority of everything he says out of his ass. If you ask him the same question on two different days he’ll give three different answers. I’ll ask again: why should we believe anything he says, especially if Iran is directly refuting it? I would like specifics of what Iran agreed to.

9

Throwaway1920214 Mar 23, 2026

Okay so we are supposed to believe a terroristic regime over an American president. You think they have more credibility. This is absurd

0

Mataelio Mar 23, 2026 +8

Yes, at this point Trump does in fact have less credibility than Iran. Even absent Iran saying anything about it, why should we believe what Trump has said? What evidence can you point to that Iran has agreed to do anything, what did they agree to, and how do we know if they have violated that agreement?

8

Throwaway1920214 Mar 23, 2026 +1

There are news outlets reporting U.S is negotiating with Iran and certain conditions the U.S has rejected. That is very consistent with what Trump said and discredits Iran. Not sure how much more evidence you want

Remarkable_Spite_209 Mar 23, 2026 +3

imoftendisgruntled Mar 23, 2026 +4

Spoiler alert: Trump does nothing except pull stuff out of his ass. There is no plan. There’s just what will get him through the day. And the rest of his entourage just manipulates the outcome to their advantage. His administration is the swamp.

CamRoth Mar 23, 2026 +5

Off-topic, I'd agree with you in normal times, but guy's flip-flopping so fast that even such a usually fair argument (to me) doesn't slack it. Which is, frankly, amusing if it weren't a war.

Bobby12many Mar 23, 2026 +22

His plans are going well. Unfortunately there is no consideration for our country and it's people within those plans. Just like his casinos, they worked great for him as laundering and financial gaming.

22

Coconutrugby Mar 23, 2026 +15

Remember that trump personally pulled large sums of money out of those casinos then closed them. same thing he is doing to the usa. It wasn’t just nosedive. Trump got his first.

Fragster2020 Mar 23, 2026 +38

He's flip-flopping as usual cos he doesnt have any idea on how to get out of this mess now. "Iran is flattened out ..all leaders are dead. There's no one to talk to us anymore". "Iran is negotiating with me and I'll determine the terms and we might open the Strait". "We want Europe to step in to protect the Strait" "We don't need the Strait nor Oil from Middle East and we DON'T need Europe" "I've given Iran 48 hours to open up Strait" "Oh...I've extended the deadline to one week now".

tweeglitch Mar 23, 2026 +42

Hovers finger over the Armageddon button. Markets panic, stocks dive, Trump/Epstein cabal, buy buy buy. Sometime later. Markets about to open. "You know, since the talks with Iran are going so well..." Shifts finger away from the button. Markets breathe a sigh of relief. Stocks surge. Trump and his Epstein cronies sell sell sell. Meanwhile, Iran is like, "Who you talkin to?" His only objective, by reverse pump and dump, is to squeeze as much out of the economy as he can while he's still the Pedoscent.

42

sowhat4 Mar 23, 2026 +3

The problem is that people tend to take Trump at his word. Don't pay any attention to that as he cannot, will not, and has not told the truth. Ever. Pay attention to his actions.

Spire_Citron Mar 24, 2026 +3

Problem is he will also sometimes just do the stupidest possible thing so you can never be quite sure.

Th1rte3n1334 Mar 23, 2026 +17

The only real reasons for this are: Market manipulation and because Iran threatened to start bombing everyone else’s Energy Infrastructure if Trump kept attacking theirs.

NorcalGGMU Mar 23, 2026 +4

Good, but why even create an ultimatum you can’t stick to? Don’t you think talking to the countries who are mostly our allies and would’ve been affected by the Iranian strikes would’ve been the first step? If we attack Iran’s power plants and they attack your desalinization plants and your power plants what’s the effect for you? Can you defend against 15-20 drone attacks per day?

Given pre47's glee in/desire to manipulate/dominate the newsmedia cycle and to provide profit taking in the oil and stock markets for those who can afford those gambles, SKEPTICISM is necessary. There is also a report (hard to verify in English) that pres47 also contacted his Arab allies, asking for trillions to stop or more trillions to keep going.

Given how fucked up the last few weeks have been , the dementia riddled rants, the ridiculous posturing. I can't help but get the impression that two rooms away the sanest clowns in the clown-cart and some CIA operators pretending to be Iranians and translators who's names we'll never know impersonated the Iranians just so the President could "negotiate" with them , and praise him in a way the Iranians clearly would not. Meanwhile Secretary Rubio or whomever conjured this fiasco will actually be speaking with the Iranians to settle a cease fire and end the situation.

DurielInducedPSTD Mar 23, 2026 +8

The American public gives no fucks about war crimes. It isn’t even their extraordinarily corrupt dictatorship that, you know, triple tapped a school. Call anything they do a war crime and the yanks come out of the woodwork to be all “uhh it isn’t a crime if there’s no one to enforce it, what are you gonna do, send a strongly worded letter?”. Everything they do is to get richer or to hurt others without being personally affected . They don’t give a f*** about anything else.

It's unclear whether this is TACO or market manipulation. One thing we know, there are no peace talks going on right now.

vulcan7200 Mar 23, 2026 +3

Its almost certainly market manipulation. While I think a small portion of it is Trump just backing down once he realizes his "tough guy act" wasn't working, its clear as day market manipulation. He announced it not long after stocks opened on a Monday morning, just like whenever he does something stupid he waits for 5pm on a Friday.
