Trump made a statement this morning that a deal will be made within three days and the strait will be reopened immediately after signing.

Does anyone even believe this any more? How many "by the end of the week," statements has he made so far?

That he says it is enough to prove scientifically that it won't happen.

Does anyone actually believe that Hormuz will "almost certainly," be open by this coming weekend?
An unimaginable millions of morons. Or maybe some who just accept that he was not talking literally.

I guess if you say it every week eventually you will be right? (And, people will quickly forget all of the times he lied and focus on the correct week.)

I'm prepared to accept that no matter how often he says it, it will never be true. The very act of saying it somehow, metaphysically stops it being true. It's his super power.

The ‘stock market’ believes him. Big bump at the open this morning. I don’t even listen anymore. Why bother? Israel keeps degrading Hezbollah in Southern Lebanon regardless of Trump’s assertion that he calls the shots…. Israel keeps asserting and showing that they have unfettered access to Iranian airspace to drop bombs.
Might the straight reopen in 3 days? Sure. Might it not? Sure. I’d give maybe a 15% chance it reopens by then?

The "big bump" sure didn't last long, did it?

Investors quickly came to their senses and realized "Oh shit, just more bombastic bullshit from the fat oaf."

Too bad this narcissistic moron influences the market just by scratching his ass.

That is even worse that I thought. He is living in pure delusion, he may be genuinely insane. Sad.

Well, or he is a compulsive liar (which may be even worse.).

So neither possibility is good. We have the worst President in history.

Not mutually exclusive!

When did you start to suspect this? $:o)
How can we get his cult to see it? Arguing with them or presenting evidence doesn't work. Even when he throws them under a bus they beg for more.

Now, Trump just announced that the downed helicopter was from Iran attacks and the U.S. will respond, and the war will restart shortly.

Crazy how before the markets opened he was talking about how close a deal was, now in the middle of the day, the war drums start...
