Trump gave another extension so she can get her magic number again.

Trump probably shorted some stocks right before this happened.

But the Dow was 50000. Now it isn't. Wars usually bump the Dow, but this one has caused a worldwide energy crisis along with fertilizer and helium. Trump fucked the world hard with his war of aggression.

Trump extended the war another 10 days to April 6...

Trump's christo-fascist war department has always planned on coordinating their ground attack around Easter. It gives them a Jesus high, while also being a 3-day weekend for the market. No matter what Trump says, or what Iran does, or does not do, Kharg will be invaded. (unless some adult in the room is actually listened to. Not likely.) I don't know what will happen, but the Trump administration will say, to the very bad outcome, 'no one could have seen this happening.' The invasion and capture may go fine. It's the reaction, which apparently they never expect, that will be a problem. It could result in no working oil/fertilizer production in the region and millions upon millions without drinking water, many of whom will die. But, even though a rando like me could make this half-ass educated guess on Reddit, somehow the media (and Trump) will contend that nothing that resulted could have been foreseen.

No worries, toddler Donnie will say something before markets open that will make them go up again.

Warren Buffet recently cashed out of Berkshire and moved a majority of his 134 Billion into Treasury Bills. The man is known for his understanding of the market and crystal-ball timing, meaning he's anticipating a drop soon and making sure he has cash on hand to take advantage of sale prices. Copper, a barometer of sorts for economic growth and market optimism is dropping, down 17% in the last two weeks. With the energy uncertainty of the Iran war, rising energy prices likely to be sustained for a year, possibly more, and a precipitous drop in job creation after data correction in 2025 and Q1 2026 we are in for a rough ride.

All Trump's gotta do is lie about the War again I guess and see if it sticks. So frustrating.
