I think that we are at the point that if one is still supporting this FRAUDSTER, they must be either mentally ill or a fraudster themselves. - - - I'm actually shocked that he hasn't gotten around to pardoning or commutating the sentence of FTX founder, Sam Bankman-Fried who is serving 25 years for being a fraudster.

Of course, it must have been a malicious prosecution by the Biden Administration.
I mean, the poor kid is only 34 and never been convicted of a crime and is being ordered to forfeit $11 Billion.

He definitely got screwed by the Biden Administration.

"They sold Trump a revolution and got a war with no way out" New York Times

Mossad chief, David Barnea told Netanyahu & Trump administration that within days of the war's start, his agency could mobilize Iranian opposition and spark an uprising that would lead to the collapse of the government. reported

Netanyahu used this to convince Trump that regime change was possible. It became the founding principle of the war.

3 weeks later: no uprising.

I wonder how many oil futures were sold and stock-index futures were bought by his cronies last night.

He literally went from "things are winding down" on Friday after the market closed to saying on Saturday "we are going to bomb their power plants" to "we are postponing that for 5-days because we are "talking to Iran" and the discussions are going "perfectly".

From no interest in diplomacy or a cease-fire to "discussion have been perfect" in 3 days.

Interestingly enough, the S&P futures yesterday afternoon weren't down all that much (-28) Dow (-100) given his threat about blowing up power plants within 48 hours. - - - But Asia was tanking nearly 3.5%

Hmmmmm....

Seems like a similar pattern to Biden with bad news on Friday afternoons and attempts to uplift the market on Monday mornings.

Trump is negotiating with a very serious high official of Iran who he can't name because the Israelis would kill him.

If someone can make a solid argument that Trump is a credible person, I am willing to seriously consider the statements he is making with regard to the Iran War.

Until that time, I will consider statements made by Trump as truthful as this guy's:

Cancel my subscription to the Resurrection
Send my credentials to the House of Detention
I got some friends inside

Probably because the guy is some kind of autistic moron rather than a true criminal.

"His name is Donald Trump."

There, does that help?

You can tell that the collapsing stock market and surging oil market are what has caused him to go into "diplomacy" mode.
It's clear as daylight.

And yet I'm reminded that it was the STABLE GENIUS who berated Zelensky for "gambling with starting WW-3" while JD Vance dressed Zelensky down for not being "thankful" enough during his visit to the White House.

You just can't make this **** up!

SBF is neither "central casting", nor able to kick somebody's face into a bloody pulp in some nondescript back ally.
In other words, useless to Trump.

Yes, as president, he makes the tough decisions.
On the one hand, sit back drinking umbrella cocktails and looking at the skirts walking by as the Dow climbs another 10, 20 percent.
OR
Go off on a little adventure in the Middle East in order to make America feel "Safe Again", as noted by the words on the fake propaganda wall behind him.


Tell me, do you feel safer today than you did 2 years ago??

Thank you for bringing those two Zelensky things up so my blood could boil again.
Maybe THAT'S the type of "winning" that Trump supporters or even apologists are good with.
Make Trump haters' blood boil. "Winning!"
