@Rory_Johnston Nobody does surrender deals like they do in France! Clearly the biggest, best and by far the greatest ever surrender was signed today in Versailles bringing about world PEACE!
Thank you for your attention to this matter!
@briangobosox I think what's relevant is the President saw stocks down, bonds down, oil up and made a call to one of his favorite reporters and made up a lie to manipulate markets. While he's very good at manipulation, this is not strength and Iran sees it for what it is.
@streetwize Why is it insane? Trump has said from early in the war the Iranians were "begging for a deal". Does it look like they're begging for a deal three months on? It's all market manipulation. Oil was up, stocks were down, bonds were down, and so he made up a fake phone call.
@TreyYingst The comment about speaking to them directly is as honest as saying they are "begging for a deal". Doesn't seem like they're begging for a deal to me.
@sentdefender He's not saying it was an accident at all. This is like a mobster who is committing extortion saying "it's a shame if something should happen...".
@briangobosox I see it a bit differently, he's so scared of higher oil prices, higher bond yields and lower equities he doesn't even want Israel to defend itself after a missile attack. He's immediately posting ceasefire and peace deal comments just to keep a lid on things.
