Breaking: Read it carefully 🔥

10:00 AM, Trump 🇺🇸: — We are ending this war. The deal is pretty successful.

10:05 AM, Trump 🇺🇸 — Hormuz will now always remain open to the world. We can roam there freely.

10:10 AM, Trump 🇺🇸 — We will continue to have a blockade, and we’ll have to start dropping bombs again.

All these statements within 10 minutes.

This guy is playing with the stock market

Announce peace

Oil drops

Buys stock

Announces bombings and no deal

Oil goes up,

sells stock and makes money.

Cycle Continues.

This guy is a business man, biggest lier and he has no intent of stopping this war.

Like nobody’s ever seen before.
Big strong oligarchs with tears in their eyes have confided in him that they have never seen such blatant evil and corruption as King Shitzinpants has normalized throughout the world.

And they are so, so grateful…..
