Meanwhile, as you mentioned, Pumps, this is probably some sort of market manipulation bullshit where the 0.01% that kisses Trump's ass are gonna profit off of this.

It's just the propaganda of a fascist regime.

And it's exhausting.

And Jim Sciutto has the following analysis.

Don't miss the significance of this.

The administration is announcing the end of the war in effect without having achieved regime change, ending Iran's nuclear program or eliminating its missile program.

And its focus is now on solving a problem which didn't exist

prior to the war, a closed or nearly closed Strait of Hormuz.

The president could, of course, order new military strikes, but the current state of play has not met his sometimes outsized expectations.

And so again, he's created problems like with the tariffs, and then he wants to come in and fix them.

This is a feature of the way he governs.

He breaks things that didn't need to be broken, that were on a trajectory of doing well, like the economy.

And then he's going to come in and say, well, I'm going to fix it.

It's the definition of insanity.

And I thought this clip right here from Marco Rubio, the hypocrisy in this is pretty rich.

Play the clip.

All right, little Marco.

This is exactly the way Americans feel about America.

An economy that is not working for us.

Watching protesters get shot by their government.
