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.

And maybe that's right, but maybe the price hikes will have lasting effects, especially with Iran now charging big fees to allow ships through the strait and continuing to control it.

One of the hallmarks of Donald Trump's political career is that he creates his own reality by talking about something over and over again.

And he's now saying that regime change has been accomplished because there are different people at the top of the regime, the others being killed by the U.S.

and Israel.

And yes, the leaders of the regime have changed.

He's right about that.

But whether the regime itself has become

any less anti-American, any less eager to cause havoc for the U.S.

and its allies around the world.
