Little Green Shoots of Hope (Not Hulk's Skin)
Puny humans on other side of ocean in Europe very happy! Trump orange man almost smash their shiny things with BIG tariffs. But then… he… *delayed*! Like Hulk delaying smashing Loki... sometimes. These… *investors*… they get all excited. Stoxx 600 some kind of human ticker toy went UP 1%! Hulk not care about Stoxx Hulk care about smashing! But happy puny humans means less chance of smashing *them*... for now.
Frenchies and Krauts Jump for Joy!
French CAC 40 and German DAX sound like Hulk names but they are NOT! They are... stock markets. Whatever. They went up even MORE! 1.3% and 1.8%! Hulk doesn't know percentages Hulk just knows... BIGGER IS BETTER! UK sleeping because of... holiday? Puny humans always finding reasons not to work. Banner would like that but Hulk thinks work is for when you not smashing.
Vroom Vroom! European Cars Escape the Smash (This Time)
Autos little human transportation boxes almost get SMASHED! Trump threaten to make them cost MORE to buy in his land! Cars get sad lose 3%! Then Trump say 'Okay okay I wait.' Cars happy again go UP 1.7%! Hulk thinks cars should be tougher. Hulk could throw car across a desert no problem! Maybe Hulk should start car company... HULK MOTORS! 'Hulk Motors: We Smash the Competition!'
Orange Man Rant and Ursala Phone Call
Trump he say EU very 'difficult.' Like trying to put Hulk in tiny cage! Negotiations 'going nowhere.' Like trying to make Hulk calm down. Then Ursula von der Leyen (Hulk thinks she sound like scary villain but Banner say she is nice) call him. She say 'We talk FAST!' Trump agree... for now! Hulk thinks Trump is just trying to make Hulk angrier. DOESN'T HE KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN HULK GETS ANGRY!?
Asia is Confused Wall Street Sleeps
Asia... mixed. Like Hulk's feelings about Banner. Some up some down. US markets... CLOSED! For... 'Memorial Day.' Puny humans remember dead soldiers. Hulk remembers all the buildings he smash... Banner say it's different. Wall Street sold off before when Trump make angry noises. They afraid of the smash just like everyone else!
Hulk Vigilant! Hulk Watchful!
So puny humans celebrate. But Hulk is WATCHING! Trump could change mind ANY SECOND! Like Hulk changing back to Banner! Hulk hope they keep talking. Hulk hope they make peace. But if they don't... HULK WILL BE READY! Hulk is always ready. RRRRAAAAAGGGHHHH!
