Honestly, this whole situation is giving me whiplash. Trump is out here inside the Oval Office sounding super confident, claiming the war is ending soon and gas prices are about to crater. Even Rubio is saying there are "some good signs."

But then you read the actual details and Trump is literally saying the US is going to seize Iran's enriched uranium and "probably destroy it." Meanwhile, Iran’s Supreme Leader just gave a strict order to NEVER let that uranium leave the country.

I want to believe the oil shock is over, but the gap between these two sides still looks massive. If this Pakistan-mediated talk fails this weekend, we are right back to airstrikes.

Seriously, the 30-year yield is absolutely skyrocketing and nobody is even talking about rate cuts anymore. At this rate, the Fed might actually have to raise rates again before the end of the year just to kill this inflation.

If you're holding any long-duration growth stocks or REITs right now, it’s going to be a rough couple of weeks.

The high-stakes bilateral meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping concluded in Beijing on May 14, 2026. This was Trump’s first visit to the Chinese capital in nearly 9 years.

The Logistics:

• Total Meeting Time: 135 minutes.
• Format: Bilateral marathon session followed by a walk at the Temple of Heaven and a state dinner.
• Key Agenda: Taiwan sovereignty, Middle East conflict (Iran), and global trade friction.

Key Outcomes:

• Zero Concrete Results: Despite over two hours of dialogue, the summit ended without a joint statement, a formal communique, or any signed agreements.
• Status Quo Maintained: Both leaders emphasized the "importance of cooperation" in rhetoric, but failed to produce actionable solutions for the ongoing regional security crises.
• Lack of Breakthrough: Analysts note the absence of a "grand bargain" suggests that both Washington and Beijing are remaining firm on their respective red lines regarding Taiwan and trade tariffs.

Current Sentiment: The summit appears to have been more about "optics" and "maintaining a channel" rather than solving systemic issues. While the 135-minute duration suggests a deep dive into sensitive topics, the lack of a 0-page agreement indicates that the fundamental deadlock remains unchanged.

Just watched Harry Enten on CNN, and he looked genuinely shaken. He had to double-check his spreadsheets because the numbers for Independents are actually insane.

The Swing: We went from Trump leading Harris by 9 points on inflation (Dec 2024) to a MINUS 70 point approval today. A 79-point drop in 15 months? I don’t think we’ve ever seen a "honeymoon phase" end this violently.

Why...

• 73% of Independents are flat-out blaming Trump for the gas price spike.
• 53% say they blame him "Very much."

Is there any way back for him, or has the "Inflation Weapon" officially turned against its owner? 🤷‍♂️📉
