There's definitely a very interesting confluence of circumstances occurring right now that's for sure.
You have the first 100 days event coming up for Trump and his approval ratings are looking a bit low. Potentially gonna be lower soon too with predictions from Walmart / Amazon and all the big Super Stores about having empty shelves around July, which is a very hot month for them usually with a bankable spike in spending from all the ra ra around 4th July celebrations. Plus Summer and all. The tariffs thing is gonna put a real downer on that whole parade if you believe the Corporate Heads of these mega chains.
People are also looking at their shopping carts and saying "Well this ain't cheaper than it was in October."
Trump needs a first 100 days win. And not just a foreign policy win but something he can bring back in to transform industries and allow him to do the American made thing.
Then you have the softening of rhetoric on China tariffs and talk of some kind of a "deal"
And this weekend there is the Pope's funeral. Where I see President Tshisekedi will be in attendance. The Rwandan President will not. Nor will Putin or BiBi.
Zelenskyy will as will numerous other global leaders and high ranking diplomats. It will be a very interesting sidebar me thinks, to watch who Trump meets with amidst the backdrop of the last hurrah for Pope Francis.
