"I mean, it's been crazy to see what's been going on with this war, because a lot of people like to paint it as incompetence, what the Trump administration has been doing in a communications sense. But really what they're doing is that they've turned the White House into a trading desk, and they're causing all of this volatility, because Trump can cause volatility in these markets just by tweeting something or putting something on Truth Social or saying anything. And the Iranians deny it because it's not happening, but he's just saying whatever to swing markets. And they're insider trading all of it." - Whitney Webb
Donald Trump engaged in BLATANT insider trading
Evidence shows “The $150 million bet paid off because someone... clearly knew what he was going to say” about the delayed strike. It appears “everyone in Washington is profiting one way or another from the disasters unfolding in the Middle East” and at home. - Douglas Macgregor.

Stock and oil futures exploded in a sudden and unexplained burst of trading just minutes before President Donald Trump revealed a market-moving update on Iran on Monday morning. At approximately 6:50am in New York, S&P 500 e-mini futures on the CME registered a sharp and highly unusual spike in volume, breaking from an otherwise quiet premarket session, reports CNBC. At nearly the exact same moment, West Texas Intermediate oil crude futures also saw a sudden surge in activity, interrupting the typically subdued early-morning trading conditions. Then, at 7:05am, roughly 15 minutes later, Trump posted on Truth Social that the United States had engaged in talks with Iran and that he was halting planned strikes on Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure. S&P 500 futures surged more than 2.5 percent before the opening bell, while oil prices plunged, with West Texas Intermediate futures falling nearly 6 percent in the immediate aftermath. The coordinated moves across equities and crude meant that anyone who had bought stock futures and sold or shorted oil contracts just minutes earlier would have locked in substantial gains. It is that precise timing and the lack of any obvious public announcement before Trump's post that has rattled traders and drawn scrutiny. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/insider-trading-claims-after-stock-and-oil-futures-surged-minutes-before-trump-s-iran-post/ar-AA1Zg3dR
