On April 9th, 2025, the President posted "THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!" on Truth Social. Hours later he announced a 90-day tariff pause. The Nasdaq surged 12%. That was the proof of concept.

On March 22nd the President posted that he would obliterate Iran's power plants. Oil surged. On March 23rd at 7:04 AM he posted that conversations were productive and strikes were postponed.

At 6:49 AM — 15 minutes before that post — someone bought $580 million in oil futures. 6,200 contracts. The average volume for that time slot was 700. That is 9 times normal. There was no scheduled economic report. No Fed speech. No news event.

Oil dropped. The Dow gained 1,000 points. Estimated profit: $40 to $50 million.

On Polymarket, one trader made $967,000 betting on unannounced military operations with a 93% success rate. Another made $436,000 predicting the exact timing of Maduro's capture. 8 accounts bet $70,000 on the Iran ceasefire with what The Guardian called "signs of insider knowledge."

Donald Trump Jr. sits on Polymarket's advisory board. He is also a paid strategic adviser to Kalshi. Those are the two largest prediction markets. His father's unannounced military operations are the most profitable bets on both platforms.

On April 10th the White House sent a staff-wide email reminding employees not to use confidential information to place trades. In March the SEC's top enforcement official resigned after clashing with the Trump-appointed SEC Chair over pursuing cases connected to the President's circle. The investigator is gone. The CFTC has not confirmed or denied an investigation.

These events are unrelated.

I cannot express enough how bad this guy was here and how unprepared he was (I work for the government (Foreign Ministry) here in Pakistan).

Basically the Iranians had a team of 71 people with experts (from banking sector, to health, infrastructure, agriculture, trade/commerce, as well as nuclear scientist and many others) yet Mista JD there did not even know what he was being offered to him, instead would avoid giving any final or interim answers and kept opening new chapters as in new agenda items (topics/subjects) within an expanding list of demands for the agreement for Iran to comply on.

On top of that, at each agenda item (topic/subject) this guy would call Trump, Marco, and Pete for guidance and keep asking them what they thought and needed to be done?!?

It was as if JD was insincere or passively trying to sabotage the deal. At the end without summarizing his final or interim answer on each old and new demand, he just got up and told them you know what we want and what we do not, then went back home in a hurry, just like that,...

I say the enemies of the USA are from within not outside.

Speaking of saying things , seeing the first lady come out and proclaim she had nothing to do with the Epstein thing that fucking bitch Pam Bondi clearly tried to cover up ,  in the flattest most monotonous emotionless voice humanly possible for no real reason was pretty weird .

i saw some reddit post, some chick called out her connections to epstein, im not sure if it was like a journalist or a tiktokker or who this chick was, but its the reason for the proclamation

oh it was a epstein survivor Amanda Ungaro, Amanda is why Melenia flipped out

A US judge has dismissed a case against the publisher of the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) over a story about ties the US president had to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump sued the American newspaper and its owners including Rupert Murdoch in a Florida federal court last summer, asking for at least $10bn (£7.4bn) in damages.

Its hilarious to me that Trump is saying the pope is soft on crime. What crime is he referring to here and how is the pope in a position to be tough or soft on crime

Mother Teresa loved MS13 she had a big ms13 neck tat and ran coke under her convent. And Einstein didnt make a time machine to travel to the future taking out gangbangers and democrats and thats why crime is so bad today. They're all soft on crime like you wouldn't believe.

Anyone who voted for a 34-time felon is, by definition, soft on crime.

Just 20 minutes before Trump's announcement that the Strait of Hormuz was open, massive trades hit the market.

Investors sold a combined 7,990 lots of Brent crude futures, ​a $760 million bet that oil would go down.

These orders were much larger than anything else at the time.

The traders made huge gains.
