The President of the United Steaks.
Never said when an attack on Syria would take place. Could be very soon or not so soon at all! In any event, the United States, under my Administration, has done a great job of ridding the region of ISIS. Where is our “Thank you America?”

In other news, futures are +120 — but copper is off by 2.2%. Gold is also down 0.8%, and cryptos are thru the fucking roof.
BTC +13%
ETH +12%
IOT +18%
Perhaps the cryptos are now being recognized as safe havens in lieu of a Syrian attack?
In spite of weakness in commodities, today should be a bullish day.
Here are some other morning headlines.

Does Trump write his own tweets? This one might be legit. The “animal Assad” tweet,… not so much

Trump likes crytpos
“…or not so soon at all!”
If they let him back us down from the precipice it is due to so many people finally calling BS on the warmongers. Congrats!
But the neocons will not stop. Always remember that, with the exception of Tucker Carlson, 100% of MSM read their war script without hesitation.
Perhaps the best contribution president Trump has made to our democracy is putting out the “fake news” label …if that label causes people to question everything they are fed.
…which is why the zionist establishment is hellbent on censoring internet and tracking dissidents,
