Trump can never accept the fact of being in a position where he is realistically not winning. Every foot shooting has been gloated and spun around as a 'win' in his warped mind. In his delusional state of mind, he still thinks he has won his trade war against China, while China has been continuously building bridges with other countries and selling much less to the USA going forward. That is how China handled its trade war against the USA.
Even the tariff war against the rest of the world has been trumpeted as a win with hardly a handful of deals made, mostly with allies, after about a year and still bobbling up and down.
Trump always counted his chickens before they are hatched. Every negotiation with China that we have seen is met with boastings about 'done deals', when no deals actually existed.
And every Trump failure is celebrated as a success by delusional Trump himself, getting his final say through a compliant media. Trump thinks of himself as the greatest businessman, a stable genius, but seriously and realistically tarnished by six bankruptcies to his name. For any other bankrupt person, that would be a shameful legacy that needs to be hidden. Yet Trump wore that disgrace like a medal of honor.
Just days ago, Trump talked about winding down the war, like turning off the tap. Right after that the USA and Israel bombed the Iranian Natanz nuclear facility, and Iran retaliated by bombing two Israeli nuclear plants. Meanwhile Trump also declared a 48-hour ultimatum on Friday, just using social media to put across, that Iran must open the Straits of Hormuz to ships or face its power plants being decimated.
When the 48-hours ultimatum ends this coming Monday, and if the USA does take out Iran's Power plants, Iran warned that it will retaliate by striking power plants and desalination plants in Israel and all across the Gulf countries. That will be a massive escalation, and oil will probably spike beyond US$150 a barrel. It will not result in the opening of the Straits of Hormuz for sure, rather prolonging the standoff.

Every day brings crazier messages from Trump. I think he is merely creating more distraction from his Epstein File problems. More than that he is manipulating the stock market to make hay while the sun shines, for himself, his family and cronies.
Right now, he is on another money-making scam, issuing huge commemorative coins in the hope of sealing his legacy. From golden visas, to cryptos, to 'Board of Peace, to commemorative coins is Trump's 'Art of the Steal'. No other Presidents have done that before, he will boast. And there will nevertheless be many sycophants who will give their support. Why not, when Trump has helped them to make a killing on the stock market, including his own son.
