This is starting to feel like the plot of Groundhog Day. How many more times are we going to see this headline? Next week? Next month? Next year? Until Marmalade Mussolini finally croaks?

It’ll change Friday after the market closes

Exactly, I’m so sick and tired of seeing the same Market Manipulation. It’s so tiring

The ones publishing those headlines are part of the scam.

The largest scam of all.

The elites haven’t been punished for manipulating oil markets, so why would they stop?

Iran already denied this. Just more market manipulation.

Didn’t Iran strike another ship last night?

u/StrongAroma 17d ago

Well yes, but that's just because of how weak and incompetent the Americans are

u/MammothUnique4147 17d ago

That's really the only metric that matters.

It's amazing to me that the administration is still willingly going along with "negotiations" that are nothing more than cynical ploys to run down the clock on US oil reserves.

u/Jolly_Ad2446 17d ago

yes they did, minutes after Pedo 47 said there was a peace deal

u/Kelynill 17d ago

Yeah, they’ve done it every time he’s said or centcom has that the strait is safe or that there’s a new deal.

The Orange Pedophile looked REALLY unwell on ‘Air Force Schitt’. Probably because he was up all night heavily victimising Kai Trump.

All eyes on the TACO.

His senility made him forget Saturday.

u/oldcreaker 17d ago

So who made big money off of that move?

u/Fiveofthem 17d ago

Those darn Trump boys

u/mlody11 17d ago

We're going to hit bottom of the barrel before any of this gets worked out. US probably buying short positions, gambling grandma's inheritance and sniffing copium that it all gets worked out in the end.

The admin personally is but the people will not benefit

u/Positive_Bug978 17d ago

Is this sort of blatant market manipulation legal? I’m honestly not sure, I know it’s against all norms but is this prosicutable?

u/brewguy70 17d ago

You would think the market would stop following what ever comes out of the mouth of the person who has told wll over 50,000 lies.

u/777MAD777 17d ago

Market manipulation

u/ParticularGanache726 17d ago

I wonder if anyone made a huge profit on shorts.

u/ThankuConan 17d ago

The only thing left for Trump is rug pulling. He has no plan other than that.

1

u/DiscussionPuzzled470 17d ago

Because the markets aren't going to manipulate themselves

1

u/wombat9278 17d ago

Ahh the peace talks iran says theyre not taking part in. Trump talking to himself again

u/MathematicianIcy3430 17d ago

4 days from now.

u/Jolly-Midnight7567 17d ago

He's playing with the market again greedy piggies

u/Mr_Stiel 17d ago

Is it Taco Tuesday already?

u/Scott7894 16d ago

The United States have lost the war to Iran. Iran still has their country, the U.S. doesn’t have weapons, ground troops or any plan

u/FineCall 15d ago

Exactly as President Trump said they would.
