Because the markets today had their worst day since the war began.
And so after that happened, he's like, I gotta do something right now.
So much of what's happening, and it's sick because this is a war with lives on the line, but it feels like most of Donald Trump's decisions right now are being made
by the markets, by how scared he is of the markets or what the yields are looking like.
And I've actually seen there are analysts who put together essentially a taco chart that tracks the five-year yields and tracks the stock market and tracks all these other metrics.
And when they reach a certain point, they've realized that's when Donald Trump faults.
That's when he tacos.
And so we're seeing those same pressures right now go through the system.
Today was one of those days.
And so that's why I think we saw Donald Trump's comments extending this pause to try to hope that he could trick the markets tomorrow morning.
And I think you got to address like the psychological aspects of it also.
Like this is quite literally existential for Iran.
Like this, they you know,
Donald Trump, you know, do a ground invasion, win, you know, whatever those objectives may be.
Iran, you know, theoretically does not exist anymore.
This Iranian regime, it's over.
For the United States, this is a war of choice, and this is a war of Donald Trump's choice.
He pulled us in there.
