So if Trump is threatening to strike Iran, will he be buying some stocks that will

make him millions tonight or maybe placing a bet on Kalshi?

Sure would be nice to catch him in the act of selling out our country for a few bucks.

One doesn't have to look too hard to find many instances of that over his tenure as POTUS.

The real question is will it have any consequences? I dare say it will not. The voters saw what he did in his first term. They heard his racist, misogynistic rhetoric, Jan. 6th, Russian interference, and on and on and it did not make a dime's worth of difference.

Just refresh everyone's memory.....he won anyway.

Will he ever be held accountable - NOPE! I'm pretty sure he is a reflection of the majority of American voters.
