President Donald Trump on Tuesday said the U.S. would extend its ceasefire with Iran that was due to expire tomorrow, at the request of Pakistani authorities, despite having threatened hours earlier that, ‘I expect to bombing’ when asked if he’d agree to such an extension.
The funniest thing is that his reversals or compromises almost always seem to happen on Tuesdays. And the “Trump always chickens it” things must be bothering him (I think he expressed his frustration about that saying a few weeks ago?).
It’s such a strong coincidence at this point. Makes me wonder if someone in his inner circle is steering him into these decisions in Tuesdays for the lolz.
ETA: Or as someone else pointed out, this is pure market manipulation, and it’s more convenient for those involved to do this on a regular weekly schedule. That’s the more logical explanation for sure. But I think my theory is more amusing.
