Sleepy Joe v The Dozy Don

#TACO = Trump Always Chickens Out This has now been replaced with #NACHO = Not A Chance Hormuz Opens Both terms coined by Rob Armstrong of the #FT

Please tell me this is AI…

#MotoGP If you think Jerez win means #Ducati have closed the gap on #Aprilia you aren’t paying attention. Ducati’s most consistent performer in 2026 is #FD49… who is using the 2025 aero package. Their superstar is crashing his brains out. #AM73 is a Jerez expert… one swallow doesn’t make a summer.

It's Friday, so it's oil price manipulation day. #TrumpKleptocracy #Hormuz #UnitedStatesOfIsrael

Yesterday was TACO TUESDAY... Another 'insider trading' opportunity for the trump family.

US is energy self-sufficient but it still constrains US foreign policy because rising gas prices push up inflation and consumers feel pain. Oil shocks are now less a pure drag on national income than a distributional shift: consumers lose, while a smaller group of producers and investors gains.

Trump on Viktor Orbán: “There’s a man, Viktor Orbán, did anyone ever hear of him? He’s probably, like, one of the strongest leaders anywhere in the world. He’s the leader of Turkey.“ Bannon told him how great he was and he remembered to say it… but he‘s not a detail guy. 🤡

Bibi Netanyahu just urinated on Trump's ceasefire... colour me surprised. Does this make me an anti-semite Shlomo Levin?

Gold price. Trump announces the ceasefire… price jumps up. The markets then spend the rest of the day realising they’ve been sold a pup.

Unconventional thinking… as everyone pivots to EV’s, I’m buying a used AMG Mercedes with a 5.5 litre twin turbo engine producing 585 bhp. They’re dropping to real-world prices and as everyone moves to EV’s they won’t be able to give gasoline away and I’ll be sitting pretty 😜

#Trump is going to “reign down hell” on the Iranian people if the government don’t open the “Straight of Hormuz”. This is how they rescue them from the tyranny of the a theocratic dictatorship?

Oren Cass... who has a BA in 'political economy' and runs a Conservative think tank... believes Trump's tariff regime has been a great success. He even goes as far as using the phrase, the "comical collapse of the anti-tariff case". I wonder how @justinwolfers.bsky.social feels about this...

I wonder if driverless cars have a panic button for the passengers to override the hi-tech systems that will drive the car into danger 🤣

What Mark Rutte isn't able to accept is that the US is a part of #NATO in name only under this administration. Putin knows the US won't lift a finger to help Europe if he attacks a member state, it's only that he's been weakened by Ukraine that he doesn't try. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

#Tesla has a market cap of $1.358T today. This valuation compares to #Toyota $259.7bn, #Ferrari $68bn and #Mercedes-Benz at $66bn. ...and this market dominance is built almost entirely on tax credits.

#MotoGP #COTA #USGP If you look at the factory Ducati problem, it looks like this; #MM93 has no confidence at the start of the race and goes backwards, but as the race progresses he gets faster. #FB63 is immediately on the pace, but starts losing rear grip as the race progresses.

The 'stable genius' speaks... good negotiations, 20 ships going through tomorrow, deal within reach... but "possible we may not reach agreement". The Iranians have leverage... why would they give it up at this point?

Each new round of market manipulation (by Truth Social post) has diminishing effect. The speaker of the Iranian parliament can see it… shame that so many market participants can’t. But, don’t forget that "the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent".

#Dorna not showing the actual impact of #MM93 ‘s crash… presumably because he was unconscious for a short time and they do want him ruled out of the rest of the weekend. What do you say @denkmit.bsky.social ?

It certainly looks like the Iranians are on the point of capitulation.... 🥴

Oh... well, that's a surprise...

As US Marines arrive to storm Kharg Island, Israel's IDF amass 100,000 combat troops on the border with Lebanon, and no sign of real negotiation with Iran... US led financial markets decide that we can all relax, everything is going to work out fine. It's a 🤡🌎 www.cnbc.com/2026/03/25/g...

Trump signals productive talks with Iran... gas prices drop. Just waiting for the Iranians to call bullshit on it and the price will shoot back up. textbook market manipulation.

If you set out to destroy the public's trust in the hydrocarbon industry, Trump's pre-meditated clusterfuck in the 'Straight (sic) of Hormuz' would be pretty much the perfect recipe.

My cynical take on the #MotoGP in #Brazil Ducati not even the best Italian bike... Marc Marquez not even the best Ducati...

Di Giannantonio's crash in warm-up today was a carbon copy of Bagnaia's in Q2 yesterday... super-grippy rear pushing a medium front that can't match the level of grip.

Nice to be kept informed by #Dorna about the reason for the 90 minute delay to the start of the MotoGP sprint race… top work fellas 🥴

#TrumpWasRightAboutEverything 🤡

Here's an update on the fiction that the US is sending a hospital ship to Greenland to help out with the humanitarian crisis that doesn't exist. Of course, everything about this administration is a complete fiction so it does make some kind of sense. gcaptain.com/trumps-green...

One down... one to go!🤞

Gold and silver bulls getting murdered today. RIP retail accounts…

Trump spends all day surrounded by toadies who agree with everything he says. He spends most of the night writing on #TruthSocial where he gets positive responses from knuckle-dragging MAGAts and Russian bots. He spends his weekends 'winning' at golf because everyone is too scared to beat him. 🤡🌎

The timeline of a conflict that Trump decided to start, pushed by Netanyahu's threats to blackmail him with incriminating audio recordings of his conversations with Mossad agent Geoffrey Epstein. No planning... just bomb them.

“Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win” Sun Tzu, The Art of War

Is it anti-semitic of me to ask why US foreign policy is being negotiated by Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner and Josh Gruenbaum? Other than all being Jewish, they're 2 real estate developers and an investment advisor... none of whom have any experience of international diplomacy.

Trump saves Putin from economic disaster and passes the bill for his war onto US/European/Asian consumers.

Tariffs are bringing manufacturing back to America... and other self-delusions.

Diesel at nearly $5 a gallon. RIP the US trucking business.

I watched this last night... it's actually worse than I thought. www.netflix.com/at-en/title/...

The US and Israel started the war. Oil prices spiked, #Trump panicked. He said the war was done... markets relaxed and oil prices dropped 10-15%. #Hegseth said it had only just started. #Iran blew up some oil tankers in the #StraitOfHormuz and the price of oil begins to spike again. #ForeverWar

#Trump installing him to cut rates... it's his ONLY job. Rising inflation due to tariff policy and Iran war energy shock should push the fed to raise rates. Bear in mind that Trump doesn't care about jobs data, and you can see that the US is entering a world of hurt. www.cnbc.com/2026/03/10/k...

Zionists are demanding ‘lebensraum’… the US military are delivering it for them. Europe will end up paying the price.

MAGAts claim these photos are AI fakes... but they were apparently part of the #EpsteinFiles from his 2005 conviction in Florida. If they are real, then they should be more than enough to take #Trump down... along with all his sewer rats.

#JobsReport 92,000 jobs lost, and there were also 69,000 in downward revisions from December and January. Manufacturing jobs minus 12,000, transportation/warehouse minus 11,000, construction minus 11,000. Since April 2025, the US has not had any job gains. Jobs President ❌ Peace President ❌ 45🤡47

Nero played his fiddle… Trump plays golf.

So #TonyBlair, who sits on Trump's #BoardOfPeace is exhorting #KierStarmer to make all the same mistakes he was criticised for in the #ChilcotInquiry...

Big winners from the war with Iran? 1. Israel... outsourcing their territorial ambitions ✅ 2. Russia... oil price rises increase their war chest ✅ #UnintendedConsequences ... or are they?

Iran aren't "surrendering" any time soon. Oil prices will remain high for at least the next 6 months, Gasoline in the US will hit $5 a gallon and Trump will cancel the mid-terms on the grounds of an 'Economic Emergency' of his own making. #OilPriceShock #HelpingPutin #LedByDonkeys
