Trump signals imminent Iran capitulation, forecasting a massive deflationary shock via $1.85/gal gasoline. This is the core market call. His narrative hinges on total US leverage: a "100% effective" blockade, 44-to-1 deregulation, and weaponized tariffs. He's also positioning for US AI dominance by delaying regulation, a clear tailwind for US tech vs. China. The strategy is maximum economic nationalism and brinkmanship.

When the Iran conflict ends, your gasoline prices will go down lower than they were before. I left Iowa a few months ago and gasoline was at $1.85 a gallon and will be hitting numbers like that again.
