Honestly, the way the U.S. and Trump are putting on this show right now has me about to laugh out loud.

They were bragging just a moment ago about how the Iranian navy is gone, that all 28 minesweeper boats are sunk to the bottom of the sea—yet now they’re already “clearing the Strait of Hormuz,” to serve the whole world. And then right after, they come out again to say they’ll manage chemical fertilizer prices, absolutely won’t let monopolistic companies commit price fraud, and they even claim they are a strong backer for American farmers.

Aren’t you just messing with the whole world and treating everyone like fools?

On one hand, they make a big mess in the Middle East, stirring up the shipping lanes until chaos reigns and dogs and chickens can’t even settle; they push natural gas prices so high they go through the roof. On the other hand, they turn right back around and face the farmers shouting, “Don’t be afraid, I’ve got you!” But the problem is: isn’t the root cause of fertilizer price hikes exactly something you created yourself?

When oil prices go up and gas prices go up, and the Strait of Hormuz shipping route gets blocked—how could fertilizer prices not rise? With shipping lanes in disorder and supply cut off, how could costs not blow up?

They say they’re “fighting for Iran’s freedom,” but in reality, all they do is stoke the flames—then they turn around and dump the blame on companies, on the previous administration, and on the whole world, while dressing themselves up as saviors.

Put simply, they want to be the one who stirs up the market, and also the “good guy” who comes out to calm things down. They want to flex their power in the Middle East, and they also want to keep domestic votes steady. They want to have it both ways—and the result is that they end up treating everyone like fools.

In this situation, the script for the U.S. dollar, gold, and crude oil is already set in stone—yet only the big story in the crypto market is still pretending to be dead, waiting to see how it gets smashed when trading opens on Monday.
