How Trump’s ‘unusual’ brokerage account traded around his own market-moving decisions—selling hyperscalers and buying energy stocks during the war

Company backed by Trump sons looks to sell drone interceptors to Gulf states being attacked by Iran (April 3, 2026)

The Asch Experiment revealed that 38% of those in the study would say things they do not believe in order to fit in with their political tribe. This taps into a primal instinct and fear of getting rejected by the tribe, which was a death sentence in ancient times.

The things we do not agree with tend to remain buried in silence and read as agreement without us realizing it. This massive communication breakdown is greatly contributing to the illusion of extreme partisanship, when the average philosophies are not nearly as far apart as we may think.
