This morning, I heard news that Dubai continues to be under attack. I estimate that this conflict will persist, and sure enough, the latest reports still indicate a stalemate in the war. The newest White House news states that Iran's fate will be similar to Venezuela's, and not wanting to be left out, Trump also mentioned that Cuba will soon collapse. He really doesn't mind facing multiple enemies at once. Just today, Russia also provided Iran with intelligence involving US military ships and aircraft locations, possibly for Iran to use in attacks against US targets.

This is the kind of Putin that Trump "appreciates." These series of measures could all become targets for Trump's attacks on the Democrats. Today’s negative news isn't just about the conflict; there’s also non-farm payroll data, with the unemployment rate rising to 4.4%. Non-farm employment surprisingly shows negative growth, retail data is also negative, and the US economy is once again under scrutiny. But luckily, tariffs have been addressed, and perhaps April’s data will improve.
