Trump the Financial Warlord - Weekend Recap 10-10-26

About this episode

Trump doesn’t need to become the mayor of Tehran. He needs Tehran to discover that threatening America is a business model with terrible margins. I think the Left needs a new holiday: National Crow Day. No speeches. No panels. Just everybody bringing the prediction they made and eating it in public. And save the wishbone for the guy who assured us Trump had no strategy. I predicted that Iran’s regime was running out of road. Now even The New York Times is reporting that Iran’s own security chief acknowledges a dire economic crisis. That’s a significant development. We’re past the point of asking whether Kevin Jackson thinks Iran has a problem. Iran’s leadership is admitting Iran has a problem. Meanwhile, Bessent is going after the financial plumbing. Because a sanction means very little if the regime can walk around it through another bank, another shell company, another intermediary with a fresh business card. The strategy has to reach the people who make evasion possible. And Washington’s message to those financial institutions is becoming expensive to ignore: Keep doing business with sanctioned Iranian banks, and your own access to America’s financial system is at risk
