Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.

Ryan, appearing in a media interview, argued that divided government does not preclude deals on shared priorities. He pointed to potential bipartisan openings on issues such as trade, infrastructure and entitlement reform, where Trump’s populist instincts may overlap with Democratic goals. The comments matter because they sketch a possible legislative path for a president whose party no longer controls Congress, shaping expectations for what can pass. What to watch next is whether Trump pursues those deals or escalates confrontations with Democrats as frustration builds.
