They're going to continue to climb as long as oil can't get through the Strait of Hormuz.

You have military fallout.

The U.S.

is moving military assets away from Asia.

There's geopolitical fallout.

Russia's getting a big gift because Donald Trump has lifted sanctions on countries

that buy Russian oil.

And of course, the most important fallout is domestic politics.

The war is getting less popular.

Looks like President Trump polls numbers are dropping.

Some polls have him under 40% approval rating.

He's looking for an off-ramp.

Despite President Trump's claims that the U.S.

economy is roaring like it's never roared before, job creation is down.

The February jobs report showed that the U.S.

economy shed 92,000 jobs last month.

Oil prices are up.

The stock market is down.

And in special elections this cycle so far, Democratic candidates keep winning despite their party's historic unpopularity.

Still, the president continues to take big risks, including pursuing a war that majorities of American voters oppose.
