The enemy is confused,<br \/>\nbecause they get these same Media \u201creports,\u201d and yet they realize their<br \/>\nNavy has been completely wiped out, their Air Force has gone onto darker<br \/>\n runways, they have no Anti Missile or Anti Airplane Equipment, their<br \/>\nformer leaders are mostly gone (This has been, in addition to everything<br \/>\n else, Regime Change!), and perhaps, most important of all, THE<br \/>\nBLOCKADE, which we will not take off until there is a \u201cDEAL,\u201d is<br \/>\nabsolutely destroying Iran. They are losing $500 Million Dollars a day,<br \/>\nan unsustainable number, even in the short run. The Anti-America Fake<br \/>\nNews Media is rooting for Iran to win, but it\u2019s not going to happen,<br \/>\nbecause I\u2019m in charge! Just like these unpatriotic people used every<br \/>\nounce of their limited strength to fight me in the Election, they<br \/>\ncontinue to do so with Iran.

TRUMP<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I&#8217;m starting to get the sense that Trump is a guy who needs constant validation from the media and those around him and if he doesn&#8217;t get that, he gets angry and defensive.<\/p>\n<p>The problem here is that if he can&#8217;t spin a &#8216;win&#8217; in this war, then he might implode and decide to raise the stakes with more bombs. No one wants that but it&#8217;s possible. Ultimately, no one knows what Iran and the US might agreed to but hopefully we find out Wednesday and markets can get back to pricing economic risks, rather than military ones.<\/p>\n<p>Update: A separate report says that Iran has made its participation in talks conditional on the US removing its naval blockade.<\/p>\n<p>Update 2: Trump is tweeting again and this makes me worry.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The Iranian leadership has forced hundreds of Ships toward the United<br \/>\nStates, mostly Texas, Louisiana, and Alaska, to get their Oil \u2014 Thank<br \/>\nyou very much! President DONALD J. TRUMP<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He could spin a resumption of the war as a win for America because it would improve exports but it would be devestating for global growth and is a net negative for the US because of higher costs to consumers and businesses.<\/p>\n<p>                            This article was written by Adam Button at investinglive.com.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More from Trump: I\u2019m winning a War, BY A LOT, things are going very well, our Military has been amazing and, if you read the Fake News, like The Failing New York&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":216,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[86],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-429673","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-market-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/429673","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/216"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=429673"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/429673\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=429673"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=429673"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=429673"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
