The Apex of Idiocracy (AI)

None of the record corruption we are seeing now is considered wrong, at the top. But it will ALL be deemed highly illegal at the bottom. Of that we can be certain. The sheeple specialize in relative morality - relative to the all time high.
Where to begin, really:
The president is OPENLY manipulating both a trade war and an Iran war to his own financial benefit.
Democrats are running as socialist candidates, while limousine liberals panic and realize there is no place on Earth they can move to and pretend to be good people while keeping their inflated wealth intact.
Fox News is telling everyone that if Democrats get elected, Christmas will be cancelled and Sharia law will be imposed.
The Idiocracy at large sees their cost of living increasing DAILY but they think that Biden is responsible.
The mid-term election is shaping up to be a civil war.
Stocks, all time high.
And yet people think I'M crazy for not believing in this Roman orgy of record excess and idiocy.
Trump believes that forestry mismanagement is suddenly causing global wildfires. Why? Apparently we had been managing forests perfectly for hundreds of years, but recently stopped doing it. What else to believe when you are a climate change denialist.
Ironically, the mismanagement argument applies far more to markets than it does to nature. Since the GFC, investors have been coddled by central banks to the extent that each decline has gotten smaller and smaller. Investors have been buying the dip and increasing leverage with ever-increasing complacency. While risks have grown inexorably. Which means that they are in no way prepared for the conflagaration heading in their direction.

As I wrote on Twitter, within the next couple of years, books written by Trump insiders will elucidate the sordid details of this Roman Circus. And it will be shocking: Scheduling major communications about the Iran war around insider oil market and stock trades.
Making decisions whether to attack or ceasefire based upon personal market positioning. Are we long or short right now?
Then there are the trade war manipulations, such as timing stock trades around major trade announcements.
"Trump discloses 327 unreported stock trades made a day before his first tariff pause (April 2025)"
And how about the trade "deals" themselves: What favorable trade terms does a country acquire with Trump kickbacks such as free 747s and real estate deals?
The most recent Trump line of business involves SELLING government information to Wall Street. In other words, Trump can fabricate a totally fake ceasefire narrative, front run his announcement in the market, and then charge Wall Street for first access.
I call that Triple Corruption aka. MAGA 2026.
All of this corruption is taking place in broad daylight, while political candidates who are attempting to provide jobs, healthcare, and affordable services to the public are derided as socialists.
What we are witnessing is Peak Idiocracy heading straight into a mid-term civil war.
Meanwhile the AI bubble is already imploding in broad daylight.
This is the same topping pattern we saw in Y2K and in 2022:
Momentum stocks peaked first and then the Dow peaked ~6 weeks later:

In summary, this is going to be the most "volatile" period of time for markets in our lifetimes leading into the civil war mid-terms.
And I predict the mid-terms will NOT be a referendum on socialism versus capitalism, but instead a referendum on socialism for the rich aka. bailouts, or socialism for the people.
Buckle up. It's about to get biblical.
My favourite set-up.
