So he’s basically admitting that the 850+ missiles he already fired were him being ‘nice’ . This is the classic Trump ‘Maximum Pressure’ playbook, but the stakes are significantly higher now because he’s running out of room to escalate without hitting civilian infrastructure—specifically power plants and bridges . By attacking the Pope and even formerly loyal voices like Tucker Carlson, he’s signaling that he’s ignored traditional diplomatic and base-level consensus to go rogue on Iran Reuters+ 2. The market is already twitchy; oil is climbing and stocks are slipping because he’s effectively weaponized Truth Social as a real-time geopolitical risk generator CoinLive. I don’t buy that this is just ‘bluster’ for a better deal; he’s box-checking the ‘I tried to be reasonable’ narrative before a potential major kinetic strike. Bottom line: stay long on oil and volatility. He’s clearing the deck of any dissenters to ensure there’s no friction if he decides to pull the trigger on Iran’s grid Thehill.
