Eight tankers before the war, 100 to 135 tankers were going to the straightforward every day.

So this is such Trumpian logic.

You you launch an illegal and unnecessary war, create a giant fucking problem.

And then when eight tankers get through, you treat it like an achievement.

when you should have 135 tankers getting through there potentially in a day.

So just bear that in mind.

Look, on the regime point,

This is Trump.

He's finally created a problem that is so big that there's just no way for him to spin his way out of it.

He's so accustomed to bullshitting his way through things and lying about things in ways that he knows will be repeated on Fox News.

But just take the regime issue.

We assassinated or Israel assassinated the 86-year-old supreme leader.

Well, the 86-year-old supreme leader was replaced by his younger and more hardline son.

The regime is not Ayatollah Ali Khamenei who's been killed.

The regime is called the Islamic Republic of Iran.

It's a system of governance that has clerics, that has the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps as the most extreme and hardcore version of their security forces, that has Basij militia, that has a military, that has government officials across that country.

Just because you kill a bunch of those people does not mean that there's regime change.

I don't think Americans thought there was regime change

God forbid, when JFK was assassinated.

The regime is fully in place.
