    he doesn’t mean Iran.  He means maybe they could just let them blockade the straight of hormuz because it mostly fucks over us “allies”

    Misleading headline.

    It’s pretty clear that Trump is referring to the fact that they shouldn’t need to be there *buying oil* when they have plenty of other options.

    And he’s right – why the fuck are they relying on oil from Iran?

    Maybe he should have considered the probable consequences of his actions before embarking on his ‘excursion’ that has taken such a toll.

    He clearly has no filter between his brain and his mouth and spews out these gems all to often demonstrating just how unhinged he truly is.

  4. Personally I applaud him.
    It’s the first even vaguely not batshit crazy thing he has said in months.

    What if Obama has done this an he was in the back seat tweeting about it

  6. People should not backlash against this glimpse of a realization, but instead nourish it.

    Just kidding. This guy has no strategy, no convictions, only his impulses. It is absolutely impossible to work him in any way.

  7. He’s talking about keeping the Strait open. I kind of get what he means, the rest of us are the ones being f*cked if it shuts down for a long time but we won’t help him secure it?

    It’s a bit weird. I’m not in favour of helping with the war but I think we should have all just sent some ships to sort that out and keep the oil flowing personally.

  8. Russia needs to come get their patient he eloped from the nursing home a few years ago.

  9. Last time I checked he was never there. As usual, Trump was experiencing the DDT’s- Draft Dodging Trumps

  10. We should start chanting at him like at a footbal game;

    “YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YER DOOOING!”

    “YOU FANCY YOUR KID, YOU FANCY YOUR KIIIID! DONALD TRUUMP , YOU FANCY YOUR KID!”

  11. The rest of the world is busy making trade and defense agreements around the US, and preparing themselves for the collapse of the petrodollar ponzi scheme.

    You can’t just stab your allies in the back, threaten and shit all over the world and yell “clean up on aisle 2!” and expect everyone to come running over with mops.

  12. The Board of Peace should be providing any necessary forces and ships.all the chairman has to do is ask.

  13. He’s talking about the Strait of Hormuz. He’s saying “we don’t have to protect it and keep it open. Let the people who depend on the oil passing through send ships to open it.”

    A very stupid take since they’re not the ones at war there and have nothing to do with the war.

    How much more do the people need to see of this clown show 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  15. “Maybe we shouldn’t even be there?” That’s rich. Maybe you shouldn’t have even attacked Iran without an objective and friends who have your back.

    The utter lack of planning shows complete incompetence.

    I grew up hearing about the marvels of the American system and all of its checks and balances. One that continually strove for a more perfect union. But I am shocked by how one man can have it devolve so quickly.

    Okay for anyone who didn’t watch the clip and want more context.

    He was referencing NATO not joining into the war. the exact quote was “you can make the case that maybe we shouldn’t even be there”

    He then goes on to say that we basically dont need IRANs oil and that we’re the largest producer of oil outside of iran. But we do it to support our allies

    So no he wasnt admitting we shoudlnt be there. He was basically saying that the biggest benefiter of this action will be NATO countries so they should support.

    I always feel like i have to click through and see the clip because titles like this just have people running with it without getting the full context. We know how trump talks. This wasnt a slip or a hint at anything he was pretty clear on his message and intent
