Trump make mouth noises about Iran war ending; stocks jump again

On the one hand nothing this murderous clown says means anything. On the other, I don’t doubt that he’s very much regretting jacking the price of gas by 40% and climbing, for no discernible reason beyond giving Pete Hegseth some cheap sadistic thrills while contemplating drowning sailors and murdered schoolgirls.
President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he expected that U.S. military forces will leave Iran in “two or three weeks.”
“We leave because there’s no reason for us to do this,” Trump told reporters at the White House.
“We’ll be leaving very soon,” the president said.
The U.S. and Israel attacked Iran on Feb. 28.
“Look what’s happening in Iran,” Trump said on Tuesday. “I mean, we’re totally unchecked. Everything’s been bombed out.”
“We’re hitting them very hard,” he said. “Last night, we knocked out tremendous amounts of missile-making facilities.”
I trust that the Sharps are keeping a close eye on who traded on this information a few hours or minutes before Trump vomited it up for public consumption.
My bet for what it’s worth — not much by definition, given the impulsive irrationalism that is now the driving force behind all administration policies — is that Trump will more or less stop the war criming in a few more weeks, declare it the most astounding victory in the history of all wars ever anywhere, and then make Hegseth the scapegoat for a disaster that cost many thousands of lives, many tens or hundreds of billions of dollars, and left the mullahs in a stronger position than they were before February 28.
At least Bret Stephens will be around to declare the whole bloody fiasco “largely successful,” in terms of the interests of his own country, anyway.
