The Wolves of Wall Street - How Trump & Co are making billions from the Iran war

“The White House does not tolerate any administration official illegally profiteering off of insider knowledge, and any implication that officials are engaged in such activity without evidence is baseless and irresponsible reporting.”

Fifteen minutes before Donald Trump posted that there had been ‘productive conversations’ with Iran, $580 million in oil bets were made in a period of 60 seconds.

Who knew to place those bets? Did anyone have insider information?

“The only focus of President Trump and Trump administration officials is doing what’s best for the American people,” a White House spokesperson said.

On Free State today we look at the con that was Trump’s war on Iran, a war that he is trying to end and which Iran prolongs any way it can knowing his desperation.

Thousands have lost their lives in this latest example of American aggression and Trump now talks about peace.

But does he know how to control the forces that are unleashed in a war? Or, as with Vietnam, has he set America on a course that will lead to greater human misery?
