Iran wanted a 7% tax but we got them down to 3.5%. Art of the deal, libtards. Ever heard of it?!?!?

It doesn't really compute that the United States can sign a deal with Iran to give Iran a 3.5% ownership of all oil that passes near its coastline. The United States does not own that oil and neither does Iran. Neither the United States nor Iran own the Strait of Hormuz.

It seems that Trump is negotiating with Iran on a plan to sanction international piracy.

What is Trump's personal cut?

And he’ll be threatening to nuke them by Thursday.

Never imagined I’d see the US begging a terrorist state for a deal.

Trumpanicans will herald any “deal” as a win but it never should have gotten to this point.

At this point, nobody believing it until Tehran confirms it. That’s how much the trust in the White House has fallen at this point regarding Iran.

Woohoo we got em down to 3.5% which is 3.5% higher than what they were charging before all this began.Oh and that 3.5% doesn't pertain to Russia or China they will continue to be able to use the strait freely. Please tell me this post is sarcasm because you can't really see this as a win

Trump needs to level with the American people

who are the adminstration talking to that is making these deals and then they break them 24 hours later?

nobody trusts Iran, never have, never will


why is Trump slow to understand this is who they are for decades prior to his presidency?

They are not good people

Radical Muslims who think they are doing god's work on the planet...

We should be able to control the strait with our military

Brother, Kamala Harris would have been sucking their dicks and enforcing correct pronoun usage.

Leave Daddy alone!

Normally, that's probably true. And normally you don't try to time the market.

But these aren't normal times. There is concern of suspiciously timed trading and confirmed federal investigations, but no definitive proof (yet) that political “insiders” have broadly profited—or that defense contracts were corruptly arranged.

No matter. When the "Bat Signal" goes up, buy!

Dow futures are a strong indicator of how the stock market will open, but they are not an accurate predictor of how the stock market will close at the end of the next day.

Futures were up last night and early morning, pre-opening. Right now....

The US stock market extended its strong rally on Wednesday, August 5, 2026, pushing major indices to fresh all-time highs. The momentum is primarily driven by optimistic corporate earnings and easing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.

You are right about that but Kamala isn't the president Trump is and anything worse than the state of things before this started is a massive failure.

This has been a huge shitshow of a campaign against a shitstain of a country.

Imagine what that $38 billion spent on Iran could have done at home.

“Iran wants to make a deal so badly, that I can tell you.

They called me, begging to make a deal. We hit them very hard, the hardest someone’s been hit since World War II. So they want to make a deal very badly.”
