Valeri Naydenov in front of FACT: The war in Iran - a stock market game or a psychological operation (VIDEO)  - 1

I have been wondering for the last few days. There are two contradictory theories about the war in Iran. One is that Trump is the subject of a psychological operation and brought to an extreme state intentionally. And this can be very easily justified with these performances. And the other is that this is a very skillful stock market situation. This was announced to Lili Marinkova in the studio „FACT“ and the program „Conversation“ by journalist Valeri Naydenov.

„The other day he said that he was negotiating with the leadership of Iran and that they had already made an agreement. The stock market indices jumped. The next day, the Iranian leaders said that there was no such thing at all – There have been no contacts, no intermediaries, no direct talks. And peace is not at all close. The stock exchanges reacted again. Stock market players can accumulate millions and billions. Trump is someone who knows what can happen. His friends are stock market players. They know. You can bet one lev and win a lot, having only one lev. The next day you can have ten levs“, added the guest.

“If we go back to the beginning of his administration in the second term – he imposes a 50% tariff on a country, and after a week postpones it for half a year. Imagine – in one week billions can be accumulated from all sorts of futures, bets or stock market games. There may not be any stock market games. These are just thoughts for the first month. I don't know anything else“, shared Valeri Naydenov.

“As for the psychological operation – obviously she is the worse job. Trump is a natural narcissist. That's obvious. He is like that by birth, very clearly expressed. It is obvious that he is very much in love with himself, he has no empathy for others. On the other hand, there are also elements of paranoia. How many things are they suing him for. They bring up certain old ladies who claim that he raped them 50 years ago. If you look at their statements, they are completely untenable. But this has accumulated in two or three lawsuits. I think I am very balanced in principle. Certainly, if I were in Trump's place, I would give up halfway through the mandate, but he holds on and fights back. And these are completely illogical moves of his, but he does not give up“, says Valeri Naydenov.
