First the Tariffs were just about him and his mates shorting the markets. The pausing of Tariffs was perfect because they could do it again in a few weeks. Rinse and repeat.

Now the Iran war. Put an ultimatum out, crash the market, reach a deal pump the market. Put a deadline on reaching a deal. Same again in two weeks. Even the spikes in trading 15 minutes before announcements.

Aibu to say that this is the entirety of the motivation of his presidency here? I don't think it's a conspiracy theory anymore but the mainstream view. Wish the media, at least here would highlight this.
