That's right.

This is the biggest swivel that Trump has made so far.

He has made a series of very harsh threats against Iran.

Less than 36 hours ago, he said he would bomb civilian sites, electricity plants, desalinization plants.

That might have gone against the Geneva Convention.

But he said if the Strait of Hormuz didn't open up shortly, that would happen.

Now, all of a sudden, it's no longer a goal.

He doesn't care.

He's washing his hands of this.

And someone else can deal with it.

Here's what he said yesterday.

So in his search for an off-ramp, he seems to be OK with Iran controlling the Strait of Hormuz.

And this certainly is one of the biggest reversals that he's made so far.

That's a good question.

The Strait is really important.

About one-fifth of the world's oil passes through it.

Iran does have a stranglehold on global markets now.

So even if Donald Trump is now trying to argue that the $4 a gallon of gas doesn't affect us, it actually does because oil prices are set globally.

Okay, so speaking of the $4 gas, what did he say about that?

Well, he said the answer was simple.
