As opposed to every other demented word-salad mumble from this rapist fuckwit, this is totally gonna happen.

How in the world does the stock market still believe what this child molester has to say?

It's the most ambiguous statement too.

"We're in the final stages of Iran. We'll see what happens. Either have a deal or we're going to do some things that are a little bit nasty, but hopefully that won't happen," Trump told a group of reporters on Wednesday.

"We're going to give this one shot. I'm in no hurry," Trump said, adding, "Ideally I'd like to see few people killed, as opposed to a lot. We can do it either way."

We have a deal or we don't. We'll kill some people or maybe a lot. The war is almost over or it isn't. I'm in no hurry but Iran better end the war before we nuke them. It's classic Taco Trump. He's playing both sides so he always comes out on top.

How many times has he said this, or something like it, now? Which immediately results in a temporary drop in oil prices? How blatantly obvious is it that he's performing market manipulation for himself and his cronies? And the stock market keeps falling for it. You'd think they'd have wised up by now.
