    This is changing daily, gas prices are down and dropping quickly. Theconomy is doing well regardless of what you think. Checkout your 401K. It's going to do even better with all of the foreign investment hits home.People who run large companies have told me their forecasters have said this will happen in the last quarter in 2027 and the beginning of 2028.

    Many people don’t know, or assume, that DUMB ends in “b”.

    Thank you for your attention to this very important matter! President DJT

    Wait if we gave JD and Barron to Iran to secure opening of the Strait like they used to do in medieval times?

    Your reading comprehension skills need a redo. You somehow confused uranium enrichment with a nuclear bomb, which shows both a poor grasp of the subject and an inability to understand what you were reading.

    TLDR: You have no idea what you're talking about.

    Unlike the JCPOA, which unfroze some of Iran's previously frozen assets, the $300B+ is NOT money that already belonged to Iran and was frozen. It's US money that would be given to Iran to rebuild what was destroyed in this war. On top of that, there would be 100s billions in sanctions relief, billions more in unfrozen assets, and Iran could still collect a "fee" for oil transit.

    Of course, everything is conditional. In this case, the most basic requirements are keeping the strait open and continuing negotiations.

    This is about as bad as it gets. Iran would get pretty much everything it wanted because the US was desperate to reopen the strait. All of Trump's talk about how desperate Iran was to negotiate actually was a reflection of his own position.

    You are comparing a state with hundreds of scientists specialized in nuclear physics, thousands of engineers, and 100's of billions of dollars to a dude shopping at Walmart?

    Report is that US demand is back to 0% enrichment and dismantling support for proxies.

    Strait is not opening again, is it.

    I mean you can cope however you want, but you shouldn’t expect people to blindly except your fantasy that you are building for yourself.

    Basically any reputable economist in the world will tell you the US economy has a challenging couple of years ahead of it. Here’s a forecast from the Trump supporting Wall Street Journal if you don’t believe me:

    https://www.wsj.com/economy/central...-heading-in-stagflationary-direction-b9ef09ad

    Do healthy economies ever have situations where stagflation is a realistic possibility?? If Trump had his way do you really think he would be able to contain himself by maintaining interest rate levels to avoid stagflation?

    Then the issue of gas prices is kind of mind boggling the level of coping going on here. I don’t know who you talk to in your business life, but it ain’t the same energy companies I work with on a daily business.

    Even if the war ends today officially, and Iran truly opens the strait, and insurance companies agree to not raise their rates dramatically. Even in this perfect world scenario, the damages to the infrastructure that Iran inflicted on Qatar and UAE plants last month total in the 10’s of billions by some estimates I saw last week on a call with a company I work with that does analytics for Baker Hughes and Shell. You are a fool if you think even in perfect world scenarios that even those costs aren’t going to get passed along to the consumer in the next year or two.

    So yeah under your prior concern for imminent nuclear war:

    -Trump has failed. Under this “agreement” if it becomes that officially, Iran maintains the same status quo as before the war. That’s not just something I’m making up. Go read the MOU.

    And now to your talking point that the economy is roaring and gas prices are going to plunge… as I’ve laid out, that is also sheer fantasy.

    …..

    Also it was just reported moments ago that it looks like turning the MOU into and actual deal is not likely as JD seems to be having issues over in Switzerland.

    You might not even be aware of this but the fact is the MOU is not an actual agreement. It was an agenda for a meeting. The actual meeting where the US and Iran start to carve up a real agreement that can be signed into a treaty is set to begin in Switzerland today.

    Good luck JD. You’re gonna need it.

    I guess you dont like having more money, I do and so do the employees who work for me.

    That may make me dum in your eyes, This would really matter to me if I fave a crap what libs think about me my intelligence or really anything else. I mean Biden's SCOTUS judge cant even tell us the difference between a male and a female and she's a Harvard graduate. My son used to live across the river from Harvard with 3 other people who were going to Harvard they were nice enough people but I would say they overall were any more intelligent than my dum azz. Biggest problem is there was definitely a sense of entitlement. To think these people are supposed to be our best and our brightest scares me and should really scare you too, but I know it wont.

    I like when I have more money because of economic prosperity and not light my wallet on fire inflation but different folks different strokes.
