This is a pretty unique aesthetic. Does the author have other works / a blog? Can v0 / Claude Design do this these days?

Aside from the clear insider trading (any news on who may be behind it, or have we reached the point where it is all untraceable and officials can exploit their position with absolutely no consequences whatsoever?), some trading firms have certainly started to try to model Trump to forecast when he flips.

When Trump orders an attack he is a war-monger. When Trump does not order an attack he 'chickens out'. Maybe the author of this page should create another version for when he does the former, call it thewarmongertracker.com so that all sides are covered.

> Settles Columbia $400M funding freeze for $221M university payment > Settles for 15% EU tariff after threatening 30% in July 12 letter Many of these seem like pretty basic negotiations. > Posts himself as Jesus healing the sick, deletes it, claims it was a doctor What did he chicken out of? I guess posting a meme? I'm not a fan of a lot of the things going on at the federal level but I feel like many critics just lost the plot.

Yes, yes, this is all very clever and funny and whatnot. I chuckled. Well done you. ...But has it occurred to you that by putting this online and publicising it, you're effectively daring this lunatic with nuclear codes to actually go through with his threats? I for one am relieved every time he "chickens out".
