But Trump only has one person to blame for all of this.
Donald Trump himself.
Like usual, the president caused a lot of chaos and destruction.
He refused to get approval from Congress.
He ignored the potential consequences of his actions.
And now the project he thought would be a quick success looks like a giant mess with no end in sight.
Sound familiar?
Should.
Because that's exactly how Trump's war in Iran has been playing out before our very eyes.
For about a month,
Iran has effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz, which means they now control about 20% of the world's oil.
That's, of course, caused a surge in gas prices.
Y'all kind of know that, right?
Gas prices have now climbed to more than $4 a gallon just this week.
Now, at the start of this war, Trump claimed that paying more at the pump was worth it.
He assured us it was only a short-term spike, and he even said that once the war was over, the price of gas would actually be lower than before.
It's going to come down.
We're not leaving until that job is finished.
Well, apparently we are.
Because last night, the Wall Street Journal reported that Trump has told his top aides he's willing to end the war without reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
