  2. A $1.5 billion Polymarket trade was placed before Trump’s energy strike pause announcement
  3. Trump told the FT he wants to “take the oil” as the Pentagon requests $200B

      I’d find that honestly the least objectionable option. Obviously trumps not clean on opsec, so Barron probably has a pretty clear idea of what’s going on, but at least he’s not profiting off of his own elected position.

      Not good, to be clear, but least bad.
