Trump needs to get a better handle on the jobs market ASAP, and AI otherwise he runs a real risk of loosing the midterms. Focusing on stock prices will ensure his demise. His need for 'muh deal' and giving Iran over a month to hold the Strait hostage has had downstream effects that are going to be difficult to recover from in time, in some cases until 2027.
See the issue with gas prices is that it takes time for the market to stabilize, gas has to be refined and processed, and it takes a while for cargo ships to get from point A to B. Oil futures will drop after Iran surrenders but American's won't see effects until much later. The fertilizer shortage will also push prices higher. Asian countries will cut back on food production which will reverberate around the globe. Stopping the war without securing the Strait is the largest tactical failure of Trump and may cost him everything.
