Strait Crazy

Trump is at it again.

So, this morning, there is this:

Trump: "We're gonna keep the strait, and we'll probably run it. We'll become the guardian of the strait. We should be reimbursed for that. When we do that, we're gonna be reimbursed. We're gonna get paid."

And this:

The way he repeats the word “deal” is like a man who is upset trying to buy a new car and is insisting to the sales manager that the guy on the lot quoted him a lower price and, no, he doesn’t want the undercoat. Maybe, just maybe, sending out a couple of untrained real estate developers who think international diplomacy is the same thing as some petty business contract is a bad idea?

And the whole “getting paid” stuff is just juvenile nonsense.

Moreover, we are seeing a reality TV star think that he can just host his way into the commercial break so that the producers can engineer a dramatic turn in the next act of the show.

Meanwhile, all of this is about his inability to get us back to some version of the status quo ante that he blew up by launching this foolish war.

This is what happens when you elect an utterly unqualified person to occupy the most powerful office in the world.

And yes, this is hardly news, but the scope remains breathtaking.

  1. Suppose you find the universal drone killing spell and also somehow take out every last Iranian missile, so Iran can’t ever threaten to close off Hormuz.

    Is El taco serious about stationing navy ships there to board or fire upon any ship which tries to transit without paying him a toll? Would regional allies* like the UAE or Oman allow their land to be used as bases to attack such ships?

    If this were a million years ago, say 2022, and a US president had said something like that, they’d have been slapped down by all parties and the whole media, minus a few in the fringe tinfoil hat brigade. Alas, the tinfoil brigades are at the helm today.

    *Or is that “allies.”

  2. Meanwhile gas is still $1.00 more than when Fatso started this mess. And this fantasy is his solution?
    And 77M of us thought this clown was competent?
    What a joke.
