Connection thesis
Trump's active trading portfolio (3,700 trades in Q1 2026) creates direct personal financial incentive to influence geopolitical outcomes. His Iran peace-talk warnings ('clock is ticking') that moved oil +1.7-2.1% suggest he may be front-running or timing market moves tied to his own holdings. This is a conflict-of-interest amplification mechanism.
