Impact Analysis

This $10M for East Palestine is the classic Trump playbook. It’s less about the town and more about generating a presidential-looking headline in an election year.

The direct impact on any listed asset is zero, but it could create a short-term sentiment bump for meme-like assets such as DJT.

I wouldn’t touch it on the long side.
