Edith Marrow: Welcome back to the archive. I’ve pulled the tape for today, August 2nd, stretching back six years. It’s a study in shifting narratives and steady volatility.
Edith Marrow: Let’s start with 2022. He was busy clearing house, telling us to knock out the 'Impeachment Slime' and others, while accusing the Unselect Committee of ignoring massive election fraud. The tape shows a market reacting with fear: VIXY jumped +2.91% at the 97th percentile, and QQQ dropped -1.24% at the 99th.
Edith Marrow: By 2023, he was critiquing his own allies. He called Ron DeSantis a 'flawed candidate' and expressed sympathy for Mike Pence, noting he was attracting no crowds or loyalty. Markets were calmer then; VIXY dropped -2.00%, while crypto tickers like BTCUSD rose +0.40%.
Edith Marrow: Then came 2024. He described the Democratic party’s move to replace their candidate as a 'coup' and a threat to democracy, yet said he was prepared to accept it. He looked forward to debating Kamala Harris on September 4th. The market did not appreciate the drama. VIXY surged +33.78% at the 100th percentile, and DJT plunged -7.33%.
Edith Marrow: In 2025, the focus shifted to Senate appointments. He accused Chuck Schumer of demanding over some number dollars for political extortion, telling him to go to hell. The market breathed a sigh of relief: VIXY plunged -5.23%, and DJT jumped +1.03%.
Edith Marrow: And today, in 2026? He shared a link about combatting drone terror attacks and announced he won the Bedminster Club Championship with a score of 70. He credited 'talent' for his victory, noting he had very little time to practice.
Edith Marrow: The subjects change—from coups to extortion to golf—but the volume never does. And neither does the market’s appetite for drama. That’s the tape.
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.
