I will say this.
I believe substantially more Americans would support the war in Iran if Trump was honest about the function of the liberal economic order.
Now, here's the thing.
When you're pitching something to somebody, you got to aim for the lowest common denominator.
You're not going to go to someone and explain, you know, the Council on Foreign Relations has this website where what you are going to say is, listen, I think this pitch would actually work for the most part.
And I will say this to the American people right now.
And you don't have to agree with it.
gas prices and products remain cheap in the united states because we point guns at other countries and say you will trade oil on the u.s dollar or you will die now by all means that sounds immoral and horrifying and our presidents have done horrifying things to maintain that
Do you want to spend $10,000 for a laptop, or do you like your $1,000 laptop?
but listen the issue primarily is that we do not produce enough to for our economy to make sense other countries have to buy u.s dollars before they can buy oil which means they're promising to give us their debt their labor if they just want to buy the oil we effectively own all of the world's oil but there's an exchange for this you will be able to trade freely without fears as we police the seas and police the oceans
And we're going to get everything in order.
Trump wants the Suez.
He wants Panama.
He wants Greenland.
He wants to control the waterways so he can fulfill this promise.
He wants to get oil to China because he wants China to get back on the dollar because they're getting off of it.
He's negotiating with Russia.
Get back on the dollar.
He's going to the Saudis and saying, what do you want us to do?
You want us to bomb Iran because the Saudis got off the petrodollar contract.
