mattmaroon: Jesus this website is an abomination. Javascript popover that animates to try to get under your fingers and constant refreshes.

jjgreen: WITCH WILL CONTINUE If he had another brain it would be lonely

jollyllama: He's referring to Melania's craft as a means to bring the Iranians to the table.

comrade1234: Talks? With whom? I'm doubtful.

actionfromafar: If you knew what he was about to tweet 5 minutes in advance, could you make any money?

alecco: Futures suddenly dumped ~10% at 7am. What do you think?https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/CL%3DF/https://pasteboard.co/IblUvbclykFf.png

mamonster: TACO Tuesday comes on Monday.My take: He wants "pauses" because he wants to resupply the strike group and/or wait for the Marine unit to transfer. I have my suspicions Iran isn't gonna fall for this trick.

linhns: TACO comes again.

actionfromafar: If one knew Friday what he was going to say during the weekend, could that be profitable?

DrProtic: Statements from Trump should be completely ignored, which Iran is effectively doing.It’s as if he’s just options trading.I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest if he attacked those power plants this evening.

alecco: Iran denies Trump's claims: 'We reject all negotiations – US has failed and Hormuz will remain closed' https://www.ynetnews.com/article/0t2zpd7drAnd Brent futures are starting to climb up again fast.Trump's post is either him freaking out of a Black Monday and/or losing military command, or it can be interpreted as market manipulation. But I don't think he is much in control anymore.

coreyh14444: The Dow Jones is the only think that keeps him remotely in-check, so he tries to say things that will calm the markets, but as Matt Yglesias says, Oil is a physical commodity, not a meme-stock, either it flows or it doesn't and we'll find out soon.
