Trump manipulating Iran War to play the stock market

Iran hit the nail on the head, maintaining that what is happening is all about manipulating the stock market by Trump over the postponement of his threat to bomb Iran's power plants, which was withdrawn before the expiry of his 48-hours ultimatum. I actually expected that, not that I am an expert political analyst. The man operates the same way all the time, which is why TACO is a perfect fit. All that posturing by Trump is obviously about manipulating the stock market, something he has been doing since taking office.

It is too co-incidental, and obviously intentional, that the changing of stances is creating a yo-yo effect on the stock market and Trump, his family and cronies are making a killing. Make hay while the sun shines have been the policy of Trump, right from the days of his first bankruptcy, with bankruptcies his model of making money. Please do not say that there was no insider knowledge for himself, his family and cronies, who are using their special position to enrich themselves within his circle. If you believe otherwise, you are just as delusional and naive.

The same modus operandi had been employed since the start of Trump's presidency right from the start of the tariff war - the escalation, the pull back, the few fake deals, all have been created to move the stock market. Then there was the Venezuela issue that rocked the stock market too, followed by stoking the Greenland issue that he also capitalized on, and still on the backburner and not done with. It will resurface, now that Trump and NATO Europe do not see eye to eye over the Iran war.

The Iran issue had already given him and his family two opportunities, two bites of the money-making cherry, first in June last year with the bombing of Natanz followed by a suspicious ceasefire following the crippling retaliation by Iran on Israel, then running short of interceptors despite moving 20,000 of them from Ukraine.

Less than a year later, Iran has been attacked for no plausible reason, just fabrication and using the fake news that they have to attack Iran first to prevent Iran from making the bomb within two weeks. Didn't Trump already boasted loudly and clearly for the world to hear that he already took out the nuclear facilities for bomb making in June last year. So, he actually lied. That tells us how much of a prolific liar he was and is. A leopard can never change its spots.

Trump was reported by some sources to have been taken aback by the massive retaliation by Iran in taking out the radar systems, the patriot and THAAD batteries and crippling USA military bases and interceptor responses. I could not believe my ears to read of some sources quoting Trump as saying that Iran's retaliation was 'unfair'. Trump probably has no knowledge of the saying that 'all is fair in love and war'. How the word fairness can even come out of his mouth when everything he does is beyond fairness - the tariff war and the seizure of oil from a sovereign country, complicity in committing genocide in Gaza and an illegal war now being fought against Iran. And he talks about taking Cuba next. Is that a man that believes in fairness?
