Edith Marrow: Welcome back to ON THIS DAY. I am Edith Marrow, and today we are walking through the tree rings of July 23rd. The tape archive is open, and as always, the market moved while he spoke.
Edith Marrow: Let's start in 2022. Back then, he was focused on smashing what he called a corrupt 'education cartel.' He shared links to rallies in Prescott City, Arizona, and a student summit in Tampa, Florida, declaring that his movement is the future.
Edith Marrow: While those posts went up, SPY moved. QQQ moved. VIXY swung along with IWM, while EWW joined the shuffle. Even the digital assets X:BTCUSD and X:ETHUSD were moving that day. The tape shows volatility without telling you which way it leaned.
Edith Marrow: Fast forward to 2023. The tone shifts from cartels to trials. He described a coordinated hoax involving prosecutor Jack Smith, claiming the spending was over some number dollars—a figure he touted as evidence of prosecutorial misconduct designed to steal an election.
Edith Marrow: He asked if anyone had looked at recent poll numbers and wondered why these charges were brought now. On that same day in 2023, the market moved again: SPY, QQQ, VIXY, IWM, X:BTCUSD, and X:ETHUSD all reacted.
Edith Marrow: In 2024, he was looking forward to welcoming Bibi Netanyahu at Mar-a-Lago. He credited his first term with peace and stability via the Abraham Accords and argued that only his 'Peace Through Strength' agenda could stop deadly wars where some number are dying.
Edith Marrow: He posted this sentiment twice in one day, asserting Kamala Harris was incapable of stopping it. The market on July 23rd, 2024? SPY moved; QQQ moved; VIXY and IWM whipsawed along with DJT for the first time that year we see listed here. X:BTCUSD and X:ETHUSD kept moving as well.
Edith Marrow: Then comes 2025, a big one in the archive. He posted new evidence regarding intelligence weaponization, sharing a link to what he called a declassified report exposing how an Obama Administration assessment was manufactured—a lie about Russian help winning the 2016 election.
Edith Marrow: He also shared an infographic titled 'The Creation of the Russia Hoax,' depicting a flowchart with photos of officials and media outlets he claimed conspired in a years-long coup. But it wasn't just about intel; he announced Columbia University agreed to pay a penalty of $200 million dollars, plus over $20 million to Jewish employees.
Edith Marrow: He said the university committed to ending ridiculous DEI policies and admitting students based only on merit. On this day in 2025, SPY moved; QQQ swung; VIXY was choppy alongside IWM and DJT. The digital assets X:BTCUSD and X:ETHUSD continued their motion.
Edith Marrow: And now we land on today, July 23rd, 2026. He is writing about a Civil Nuclear Deal with Saudi Arabia, stating there will be no enrichment of material for non-military use. However, he notes this approval is totally subject to the Kingdom joining the Abraham Accords.
Edith Marrow: He also addressed the Houthis, noting that while they acted responsibly after a powerful attack last year, they are shooting at ships again now. He warned that if it continues, major military punishment will be inflicted upon Iran and the Houthis themselves for acting as proxies.
Edith Marrow: What is the drift here? In 2022 he was rallying against a cartel; by 2025 he was collecting some number of some number in penalties from universities. The subjects change from trials to peace deals, but the rhythm never does: every single year on this date, SPY moved, QQQ swung, and VIXY reacted.
Edith Marrow: The archive shows us a man constantly fighting different wars—education cartels, prosecutors, foreign conflicts, intelligence agencies. But for the market? It just keeps moving around him, indifferent to whether he is smashing things or signing historic agreements. The tape rolls on.
Edith Marrow: That's the show. We're on Spotify and YouTube — if this earned it: like, subscribe, tell a friend. And housekeeping: the machine that writes this gets tuned constantly for cleaner news. The numbers are real; the jokes are not.
