Never spoken about again.
You know, one of the things we see also is, and he's going to do it here, right?
What was he bragging about over the past 24 hours?
I got 100 million barrels of oil through the Strait of Hormuz in the past 105 days.
The Iranians didn't know about it.
That's like, what, two million barrels of oil a day, if you do the math, versus the 25 to 30 that was going on before the war started.
By the way, what he's saying probably isn't true at all either.
I'm sure some got through, turned their tracking systems off and did get through.
Okay, let's say he exaggerates usually by 50%.
So let's even say it was 50.
Let's just even take him at his word, 100 million.
It sounds like a lot because 100 million, billion, trillion, but Trump contorts millions, billions, trillions.
So words don't matter at all.
It was like what he did with China.
It's like 14 million metric tons or 12 million metric tons of soybeans.
I'm like, look, when Biden was in office, we never even talked about soybeans as like a thing.
He got 28 million metric tons bought from the Chinese.
We never worried about Chinese not buying soybeans.
That just wasn't a thing.
Biden solidified his relationships with Southeast Asian countries.
