It doesn't seem like the market even cares what he's saying anymore... it's like everyone is just assuming this status quo of flip flopping back and forth will drag on indefinitely...
Trump says Iran facing ‘last chance’ before ‘decapitation’
by Ellen Mitchell - 08/03/26 3:31 PM ET
Trump is seeking negotiations with Tehran after calling off airstrikes against Iran in favor of diplomacy, the fifth time he’s done so since April. He said Sunday the U.S. had “an attack planned that would have been the biggest attack since World War II” before Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar reached out to the U.S.
Asked later what is different this time around, Trump replied, “I want to give them every last chance before decapitation. Very tough to do what we have planned, still planned. We’ll see what happens.”
The president’s assurances come as Iran earlier on Monday pushed back on the claim it was negotiating on the Strait of Hormuz and ending the war, saying it was only talking with Oman to set up a “temporary” route for vessels to pass safely through the vital shipping corridor.
“They ask for a meeting, some would say ‘beg,’ talks begin, with more scheduled in the immediate future, and they say, openly and proudly, that they’re not having any discussions, that nothing is being talked about, and they’re only dealing with ‘Oman,’” he wrote.
Trump’s frequent vacillation between threats to lay waste to Iran and a push for talks has cast doubt on the U.S. ability to strike a meaningful deal to end the conflict anytime soon.
Hey, you can't deny he keeps the enemy guessing about what's going to happen. Everybody else, too.
Hmm... maybe in the past, but I'm afraid that may not be the case any longer. Too many tacos.
Not really a laughing matter, but I couldn't help but laugh...

SO now that nobody listens to Trump, they sent our Bessent and imaginary Oman'is to drive the price of Oil down this morning becasue they heard I had bought 150 more shares of #XLE 
Naturally Oil down big and Market blasting off.
None of this makes as big a difference as we are seeing in price swings, its simply being used for manipulation and the Market goes along because if you time it right, you can make nice money.

It's Tuesday. He will flop.
Or is he saying the USA did an unconditional surrender?
It's an old post where he's calling for Iran's unconditional surrender. Seems to me he's surrendering now/soon.
He may not flop this time... I think he's ready to give up and claim the strait is open and "mission accomplished"... from BRF's post above....
Problem is, Iran, with Oman as a junior partner, will control the strait?...
Trump cut out of new deal to reopen Strait of Hormuz
Iran and Oman close to finalising agreement that would see commercial ships charged for passage
Iran, Oman near deal to reopen Strait of Hormuz with both countries collecting ‘service fee’: report
Iran and Oman are close to an agreement to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz to shipping traffic that would see both countries collect a so-called “service fee” to cover environmental and security costs.
