The War Is Over. The Strait Is Open. We Totally Won. The Iran War According to Donald Trump.

It always amazes me that the market goes up or down when Trump says anything about the war. It feels to me the markets would be smarter to react on what Iran says.

For weeks, President Trump has searched for a way to end the war in Iran. He has tried threats of bombing, blockading and negotiating (sometimes all in the same day).

On a few occasions, he has even suggested that (the war is already over).
