But Trump said, quote,
Effective immediately, the United States Navy, the finest in the world, will begin the process of blockading any and all ships trying to enter or leave the Strait of Hormuz.
At some point, we will reach an all-being-allowed-to-go-in, all-being-allowed-to-go-out basis.
But Iran has not allowed that to happen by merely saying, there may be a mine out there somewhere that nobody knows about but them.
This is world extortion and leaders of countries, especially the United States of America, will never be extorted.
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.
Let's be clear.
Trump wanted to be cut in on the toll thing a few days ago.
He described it as a joint venture.
They wouldn't let him in on the shakedown.
So in response, he'll apparently blockade the trade of the world, destabilizing prices again, raising costs on the working class again.
He also threatened to attack civilian infrastructure unless he gets a deal again.
So after saying no more negotiations, Trump has been reduced to acknowledging Iran isn't defeated while begging the country for a deal and threatening world shipping and hits on civilians if he doesn't get his way.
Congress needs to pull the plug on this.
It can still get far worse.
Anyway, it's just a thought.
Y'all have a good day.
Well, howdy there, Internet people, it's Belle again.
So today, we're going to talk about Trump's record low consumer sentiment.
