Did the price of oil get to Don?

Listen to you!

You never thought he'd attack Iran, you screamed TACO then! I know, I've been in numerous threads regarding the topic of Iran.

You perpetually underestimate him at every turn. But you are free to continue, at your peril.

Yes, he proved himself even dumber than I gave him credit for. He sure showed me.

When will be you headed off to boot camp? You know, the Marines are always looking for a "few good men". Hey, if you get lucky maybe you & Eric Trump will train in the same platoon, no? You never know!

Thank you for your service & say hello to Eric!

Did 2 tours over there troll. How about you?

Dow futures jump 1,000 points after Trump says U.S. and Iran have held ‘productive’ talks​

The Dow is down about 1,500 points since trump's first attempt to sooth the market's fears. He tried again Thursday by extending the deadline to bomb Iran's infrastructure but this time it wasn't listening. The Dow dropped 800 points and WTI crude went above $100 a barrel.

Why? Because despite our ability to inflict damage on Iran we are not in control of what happens next. A reality that might finally be dawning on Orange Bozo. Extending deadline does nothing to free up cargo ships in the Strait. And apparently it did nothing to appease Iran.

Those pesky Iranian religious psychos wrecked the Boi King's plan when they remembered that they've been telling us for decades that they'd close the Strait if we messed with them.

Previously, he was just going to bomb the crap out of them to please Bebe, claim victory, and high-tail it the hell out of there.

Now he's having to pretend that a closed Strait doesn't harm America in any way, but he's going to keep going militarily there for his usual deep moral, ethical and altruistic reasons.

And as always, he's tossing this BS in the face of the press, who have to put significant effort into not rolling their eyes and giggling when he says it.

Oil could be very inexpensive if Iran just sold oil and was not violating UN resolutions that they NOT pursue a nuclear weapon.

Fun fact: Dumb fock lefties conflate nuclear energy and nuclear weapons. They do not consider nuclear power as GREEN. They are really dumb.

Stock futures rise after report says Trump looking to end Iran war: Live updates

The broad market S&P 500 fell for a third consecutive session on Monday as oil prices rose once again.

Just to be clear, the headline about Dotard looking to end the war comes from today. Not the other times he has flip flopped on what to do.

Today................

Oil prices swung in volatile trading on Tuesday as traders assess President Donald Trump’s reported statements on ending the war in Iran.

Trump told his aides that he was willing to end U.S. operations against Iran even if the Strait of Hormuz remained shut, as forcing Tehran to reopen the oil chokepoint could extend the conflict, The Wall Street Journal reported late Monday stateside.

Oil sees choppy trading as traders parse Trump comments on Iran war

Oil prices fell on Tuesday as U.S. President Donald Trump reportedly expressed willingness to end the military hostilities against Iran even if the Strait of Hormuz remains largely shut.

Yesterday...............

U.S. President Donald Trump said Monday that the U.S. will “completely” obliterate Iran’s electric generating plants, oil wells and Kharg Island if the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz is not “immediately” reopened and a peace deal is not reached “shortly.”

Dow surges 600 points in relief rally after Trump says U.S. and Iran have had ‘productive’ talks: Live updates

President Donald Trump said the U.S. and Iran have held talks and that he was halting strikes on Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure.

www.cnbc.com

Stock futures shot higher in a sudden move after President Donald Trump said the U.S. and Iran have held productive talks over the last two days and he was halting any strikes on Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure.

Dow Jones Industrial Average futures jumped 1,100 points, or 2.6% higher. S&P 500 futures jumped 2.7%, and Nasdaq-100 futures added 2.7%.

Those moves came as the Iran war entered its fourth week, with tensions escalating over the weekend. President Donald Trump threatened an attack on Iranian power plants if the Strait of Hormuz — a key shipping route for oil and other energy products — isn’t reopened. Iran responded in turn said it would target U.S. infrastructure, including energy and desalination facilities in the Gulf, if the U.S. carried out its threat.

Who are we going to talk to? Don said everyone in Iran's leadership is dead.

If anything was predictable about the conflict trump got us in to it's that he would blink. Cuz despite he claims to the contrary he did not expect the impact of his ill-fated decision to attack Iran to go this badly with respect to the US economy/stock market.

So I take it you wanted Iran’s infrastructure obliterated? Then you’d be all over him for that. You guys are SO angry that Trump outfoxed you again. He got exactly what he wanted because he is the top negotiator in the world. He’s forcing Europe to take part in a situation they benefitted from, while we’re done with it. This was masterful, and all you clown can do is sputter “Taco!”

Greatest president in US history.

The US spent over $50B, had soldiers killed and wounded, caused the largest oil spike in history with gas going over $4 a gallon on average, didn't achieve regime change, didn't inspire a popular uprising, didn't gain control of the Strait, and didn't obtain Iran's enriched uranium.

Mission accomplished.

lol. Iran is a toothless tiger, we still have the goodwill of Iranians because we didn’t destroy their infrastructure. Oil will be coming down. The Strait will be open. Europe is forced to do their part. Democrats thought they had an advantage. It just vanished into thin air. They got a big fat donut out of this. Trump just conducted a master class in winning. Once again.

Once again.

Trump also dismissed the idea of having to reach a negotiated deal to end the war, saying that “Iran doesn’t have to make a deal ... it’s a new regime. They are much more accessible.” He also asserted that he had stopped Iran from gaining a nuclear weapon.

While global markets await Trump’s comments later Wednesday, military hostilities continue. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said it would start attacking U.S. companies in the region from Wednesday, listing 18 companies including Google, Microsoft, Apple, Intel, IBM, Tesla and Boeing.

Iranian drones targeted fuel tanks at Kuwait International Airport on Wednesday, causing a massive fire and damage to the tanks, Kuwaiti local media reported, citing the civil aviation authority.

“Trump remains stuck. Leaving now would admit defeat,” said Michael Feller, co-founder of think-tank Geopolitical Strategy, adding that destroying civilian infrastructure, as Trump threatened earlier this week, would “make no difference other than to further drive up oil prices.”

"No ceasefire until Iran opens the Strait."

WTF!

 

[berg80]

It's TACO Tuesday as Iran doesn't seem to be intimidated by Don's bluster. So with the deadline for his promise to commit war crimes fast approaching he extended the deadline.

Why? Cuz oil was up 6% today on the risk hostilities would resume.
