In this episode of Expose, we uncover how a so-called geopolitical “de-escalation” by Donald Trump reveals a far deeper crisis; one where markets, not missiles, dictate the course of events.

As oil prices collapse, global indices surge, and Persian Gulf economies begin to absorb real losses, the figures tell a story of mounting pressure on Washington and its allies. But beyond the numbers, a parallel battle unfolds online, where Trump’s claims of negotiations are rapidly dissected, mocked, and challenged across social media; exposing a growing credibility gap between official narratives and public perception.

This episode brings both fronts together, showing how the war for influence is now being fought simultaneously in financial markets and digital discourse; and how neither is going according to plan.
