The Perpetual War

Anyone else get the feeling that Trump ironically needs the war to continue indefinitrly to prop the market up? He can announce the war has ended weekly for that little pump, and no one wants to sell or short the market because of the upside risk of a big move up the day the war actually ends.

Ironically, I can imagine the war ending as the catalyst for the market to crash back to reality when the upside risk is removed and we are left with inflation, an oil shock, rising interest rates, and circular financing.
