Fleeing Friday – Trump Escapes to Europe

Will Trump come back?   Julian Assange is finally coming back after 8 years in hiding, I wonder where Trump will be seeking asylum – perhaps Mother Russia?  As noted by CNN: " Besieged at home, Trump sets off for 'do-or-die' foreign trip, " stating " if President Donald Trump's crucial first foreign trip passes off without a disaster, it will be considered a success ."  8 days without a disaster?  It's only been 114 days so far and I don't think we've gone 3 in a row without a new scandal!   Not only that but Julian Assange is back – I can't wait to see WikiLeaks turn its sights on Donald's secrets.  Over in Europe, they want to know if Trump is really pulling out of the Paris Climate Accord in defiance of the entire rest of the World, who ratified the treaty – there's a good start.  That's the middle of his trip, which Trump ends with a NATO meeting, where he has to explain to the actual Members why he thinks they don't do their share but first, Trump heads over to the Middle East, where he has boasted he can fix things.   Of course the real purpose of the trip is to sell arms to the Saudis and we have our LMT and RTN back from when Trump was first elected (see: " Merry Trumpmas – Looking Forward to a Wild New Year ").  Raytheon (RTN) is already over our $145 target and our trade idea for them was: We also like Raytheon (RTN), who get paid almost $2M every time the US fires a Tomahawk missile ( and we do that a lot !).   So, to bet on the escalating cold war (and the proxy wars we love to fight), we like: Sell 5 RTN 2019 $120 puts for $8.50 ($4,200)  …

Not only that but Julian Assange is back – I can't wait to see WikiLeaks turn its sights on Donald's secrets.  Over in Europe, they want to know if Trump is really pulling out of the Paris Climate Accord in defiance of the entire rest of the World, who ratified the treaty – there's a good start.  That's the middle of his trip, which Trump ends with a NATO meeting, where he has to explain to the actual Members why he thinks they don't do their share but first, Trump heads over to the Middle East, where he has boasted he can fix things.
