      Btw Trump is once again making the simplest grammatical mistakes. Atp idk if he’s unlettered or getting one of his grandchildren to type those posts for him

      theres like a 70% chance this post means “any and all US attacks on iran” have now been ACCELERATED instead of getting postponed

      i just dont trust this dude at this point

    3. Markets stabilize over his “we are being peaceful” commentary. Stocks go up. Bombs fly this afternoon after Trump unloads more stocks.

    4. Iran said they’d retaliate using the Strait of Hormuz *complete closure* as a weapon if any plants were struck. They called his bluff and Trump blinked in front of the whole world, again.

    5. He didn’t chicken out. He is just doing market manipulation at the cost of human lives. 

      Congratulations America, you managed to fuck up a second time by electing this moron.

    6. You can just take almost everything Trump writes as a sign of the exact opposite. He’s been strongly rebuffed by the Iranian regime and he is chickening out at the face of actual opposition.

      Markets have reversed earlier moves after Donald Trump said the US and Iran had had “very good and productive conversations regarding a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East”.

      Brent crude has fallen 13% to about $96 a barrel. The FTSE 100 index is now up 0.5% having fallen more than 2% earlier.

      Time for the inside traders to realise their profits before the next change of tack.

      Looks like market manipulation at its finest on a Monday morning……
      People who were going to pull out this morning will now hesitate and become massive bag holders 😂

      Boipolar demented Don will change tune by this afternoon 😂

      It’s a pattern. He makes extreme threats after markets close on Friday. All of a sudden things look sunny before markets open on Monday. Stock manipulation at its finest.

    10. Just to state Iran has denied any negotiation with the US and even say they haven’t had any contact with them

      Trump is a loser

      🇮🇷 Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs:

      We deny what US President Donald Trump said regarding the occurrence of negotiations between the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran.

      The Islamic Republic of Iran adheres to its position rejecting any kind of negotiations before achieving Iran’s goals from the war.

      Trump’s words are a retreat from his previous threats, yet the Islamic Republic of Iran remains committed to all its declared positions.

      Iran’s position regarding the Strait of Hormuz has not changed, and the strait will remain closed to those who aggress against the Islamic Republic and its people.

    11. I’m calling bullshit. That moron would never use the phrase “tenor and tone” let alone understand what it means.

    12. Wait for a report to ask “who exactly did you speak to Mr President” and then trump to bluster and bluff and then get angry and say “you’re very nasty, nasty person and you shouldn’t call yourself a reporter”.

      Its shocking that a blatant lie of a tweet like this can be used to manipulate the market. The situation hasnt even meaningfully changed and it should be so obvious by now he was gonna taco on the strikes.

    14. I notice there is no mention on the status of the Strait here. What happened to taking out their power plants?

      Someone has been dicking the markets again to make a quick buck, I think.

    15. A guarantee you he has not talked to a single Iranian about this. There are no talks. He’s just trying to back down while saving face as always.

    16. Protect-Their-Smiles on

      1. Talk up a confrontation

      2. Back out to calm the markets

      3. Give friends time to buy short positions

      4. Re-engage the confrontation

      5. Friends get rich

      6. Rinse and repeat

      People say TACO, but it is a strategy to game the stock market and make money from timing drama on the world stage. Trump could not care less who he hurts.
