Drop everything you're doing and watch this now. RIGHT NOW.
Ari K and Schuyler Brown, I have no idea who you 2 beautiful bastards are, but you're instant legends. Hopefully someone in the comments knows and tags.
Let me walk you through what happened one hour before Trump announced the five day moratorium on Iran strikes.
$1.5 billion in notional S&P E-mini futures contracts. Four to six times normal activity.
One hour before the announcement.
Simultaneously, $192 million in crude oil futures purchased at the same time.
They made between $300 and $400 million dollars off those trades.
Trump claimed he spoke to an Iranian official to negotiate the moratorium.
The Iranians said that person doesn't exist and the conversation never happened.
This is not the first time.
It has happened multiple times. He says something. The trade goes on. He says another thing. The market moves.
But whatever you call it — they are laughing at you and they are laughing at me while they do it.
Hunter Biden sold a painting and Washington lost its mind.
These people are making hundreds upon hundreds of millions of dollars trading on information that only exists inside the most powerful office in the world.
I think we are dramatically underreporting how much money is actually being made here.
This isn't politics anymore.
This is a financial operation running out of the White House.
The President of the United States is an emotionally unstable man with obvious cognitive issues. We are in the middle of a war, he tanked an important speech to the nation, and this is what he's worried about:
Rubio: This is a country whose economy is in shambles. This is a country whose people have been protesting on the streets… They have taken all of their money and have invested it in building missiles
"We're not at war, we have no intention at being at war. The president and the DOD have made it very clear, this is a limited operation."
- Mike Johnson says there’s no need to constrain Trump’s war powers since the U.S. isn’t actually at war. (Mar. 2026)
@dominic_balash@catturd2 If he wants to build a ballroom he can build one at Mar-a-Lardo. The White House isn’t his, dumbass. It’s ours. We don’t want a fricking ballroom.
Hegseth: We'll negotiate with bombs. Our job is to ensure that we compel Iran to realize that this new regime, this regime in charge, is in a better place if they make that deal. And so we'll continue. We're working hand in hand, but the primary effort is a deal. We want that deal to be accomplished, if at all possible. If not, then we're prepared to continue.
I think on some level my mind just refuses to accept that this is, in fact, real, that this absolutely batshit crazy individual is still president of the US and somehow still fanatically worshiped by over 35% of the US population. This will all end in a global catastrophe...
OK, so Karoline Leavitt asked Getty Pictures to delete this unflattering photo of her, so this is me telling you all NOT to RT and share this many times all over the place.
Whatever you do, DON'T RT this.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. 😏
Getting the Strait closed because of the war you launched and then telling other countries they are gonna have to figure out how to open it is like buying a casino, bankrupting it, then putting it on the other board members to lend you the money to pay back the bank.
Not a single good thing has happened under Trump. Not one.
He will leave us with no jobs, a crashed economy, staggering deficit, skyrocketing food, gas, and healthcare costs, many new wars, our best weapons depleted, many soldiers killed and maimed, zero respect in the world, zero Epstein transparency, and the country torn apart.
It's not Biden, Obama, Newsom, Schumer, Jefferies, or anyone else. Everything that's happening now, every damn thing...
IS ON TRUMP.
Trump released a video of a new bookless library and museum mockup, which resembles the Freedom Tower. The plan includes displaying the current Air Force One on the ground floor, with escalators surrounding it and leading up to a mock Oval Office and a golden ballroom — featuring a large gold statue of Donald J. Trump.
@highbrow_nobrow The proper MAGA response would have been to place the blame for Jan 6 on Biden instead, no matter how nonsensical that might be. No wonder the orange thing got rid of her.
Elizabeth Vargas: "Did Mike Pence do the right thing or the wrong thing on Jan 6?"
Kristi Noem: "I don't answer hypothetical questions."
EV: "It's not a hypothetical."
KN: "It is, cos it will never happen again."
Not a parody, not a comedy show item. Donald Trump has designed for his Presidential Library main hall, as its highlight, a 10m tall golden statue of himself.
Hegseth: I witnessed lethality. I met a junior airman as the sun was going down and a chill was setting on the tarmac, who, when asked what they needed, she simply looked up at me with a sly smile on her face and said, more bombs, sir, and bigger bombs. We will happily oblige her.
