Trump dealt devastating blow as Iranians close down Strait of Hormuz again: report

President Donald Trump’s coveted peace deal with Tehran was dealt a devastating blow Saturday after Iranian officials announced they would, again, be closing the Strait of Hormuz to all shipping vessels.

Trump's $100 million stock trading rally fueled by favorable court ruling: analysis

President Donald Trump has talked a lot about the strength of the stock market recently, and a new analysis suggests that his recent surge in trading activity may be a motivating factor.
