Iran has (once again) said they don't know who the fuck trump is talking to, but it's not anyone running Iran...

I really think the people around him are gaslighting him at this point:

Wow, you're so tough! I talked to _____ and they're totally scared and willing to do anything you say tomorrow!

Look at the people around him, no one is running complex grifts. They're just absuing a geriatric asshole and grifting them out of our money.

It's why trump can't be the only one held accountable.

Everyone that did this shit over the last three presidential administrations needs prosecuted. It's the only way to stop it from happening

Well there are also more drastic measures you can see in history that create strong incentives for people not to behave like lunatics and shit on everyone...

Riiiiiiiiight. Just like the last 29 times.

Trump...lol

I’m just gonna keep saying this is market manipulation every time he says something like this and the news gets posted. This is market manipulation and nothing more.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Yep. I was watching S&P yesterday and was not paying attention to news at all. I saw huuuuuuge jump around 11:20 and figured Pumkinhead announced something related and I'm pretty sure news broke of that right around then.

What I cannot really figure out is now after months of this shit how people that are trading are not accounting for this nonsense already, but it seems the markets do still react to his blatherings.

That’s vexed me as well, the only thing I can come up with is that in their minds they assume that eventually it will be true and panic buy from fomo

Didn't we just bomb one of their big water supplies?

[-] aramis87@fedia.io 17 points 1 month ago

We bombed a civilian water supply (pretty sure that's a war crime, not that they'll care), they've completely shut the Strait, Trump threatened a massive strike threatening to seize some oil/infrastructure - best guess was Kharg Island. Now that's off, again - at least not until he gets his late night drug fix and riled up by Fox.

Hunh. You know how he keeps flip-flopping on what he's planning to do? I wonder if that's because there are different news/opinion hosts on the weekends.

[-] tburkhol@slrpnk.net 10 points 1 month ago

Probably unrelated to the 2+% drop in stock markets when he hypes up an armageddon, or the 2+% rise when he calls it off.

[-] Substance_P@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I think it's related to trumps threat to seize Kharg Island and other Iran oil infrastructure. And on his TS post said "The U.S. military will attack Iran “VERY HARD” Thursday night", this was after completing a round of airstrikes on Wednesday, including the water supplies.

What a fucking goddamned idiot Trump is.

Who is left that thinks this demented dipshit is anything but an old fucking lost man who has never lived a single day of his life without privilege and sychophantic ball filandering?

His whole life. He's never struggled. He's never even tried, I bet. He's just a piece of shit that convinced countless other pieces of shit to give up all their morals for him.

We will forget Trump... But we won't forget his supporters. Not ever.

We. Will. Know. Never. Forget.

He’s so proud of being close to ending the war…that he started. Fucking idiot.

The Iranian negotiator:

[-] DrSleepless@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I’ve heard this one before

[-] thebasementcakes@leminal.space 4 points 1 month ago

Odds of actual invasion go up with this announcement

[-] Substance_P@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Right, they'll never see his 4D checker move. Genius!
