    He said this: “I have also instructed our Navy to seek and interdict every vessel in International Waters that has paid a toll to Iran. No one who pays an illegal toll will have safe passage on the high seas" (BTW, this isn't Trump. Sounds like Stephen Miller).

    So... If the US Navy stops a Chinese tanker in international waters, what does China do next? What if the tanker is escorted by a Chinese warship?

    I'm sure the consequences have been played out ...

    Money is the primary signal how humans communicate.

    When that's broken, everything else gets broken too.

    There will still be conflict, but a lot less.

    Wars are fought over natural resources not paper money. Ww1 was fought for natural resources. Germany invaded Norway for iron ore. Germans invaded Russia predominantly for their oil which the nazi war machine needed. We overthrew Venezuela to control their oil. We invaded Iraq for oil. Trump is on record claiming he wants Iranian oil

    This US blockade is so stupid and a waste of money. Our orange leader literally threaten to wipe out iran. A country faced with extinction is not gonna surrender bc of a blockade especially when they have the upper hand.

    What is the end goal?

    Yes, but the military follows orders, at least legal ones, as best they can. If they take that order and execute it…

    And you know who understands this, and who would love for this war to expand to include China or Russia…

    Of course, this could be another one of those market movers, and someone is going to pocket millions or billions again.

    He's such a self-serving jerk. He doesn't have to worry about filling up his car and driving to work. Nope. He flies back and forth to Florida every weekend and gets chauffeured around and escorted by a a parade of secret service vehicles vehicles at our expense. He doesn't care how many billions we spend on wars either. In fact, he wants even more money for his arsenal, so he can continue war mongering and threatening anyone he wants something from.

    Remember how Trump declared himself a "wartime president" during Covid?

    Look how well that went!!!

    Believe me, if anyone can take a bad situation and **** it up even worse, it's the sh*t stain that goes by the name of Donald J. Trump.

    ****ing Trump voters... SMH, YOU did this!!!

    Trump's busy posting pictures tonight. He's so full of himself, and living in an altered state of narcissistic and distorted reality..This is our President, hard at work posting stupid crap. Check out the link.

    You would think at some point the MAGA @Astrodome @Salvy would be utterly embarrassed but they've sworn allegiance to him. It's sincerely the most pathetic thing I've ever witnessed

    If you told me twenty years ago that Americans would one day choose someone like this to be President of The United States -- not just once but twice -- I would've thought you were some kind of comedian, or imbecile.

    But this is all real, lol!

    We're better than this as a country. Or should be. Trump needs to go.

    Vance needs to step in.

    If Democrats can call for Joe Biden to exit the race for POTUS at the last minute, Republicans can do the right thing now and call for Trump's removal.

    It's okay to admit what people all over the world can plainly see: the man is losing it, and he's a disaster.

    EDIT: See the post below mine for all the proof you need! He is a deranged and senile lunatic!!!

    Republicans are gpnna have some explaining to do one day when they arrive at The Pearly Gates™ and have to admit to God that they defended Trump when he went after the Pope.
