Trump is at his greatest when it gets tougher, and when Iran doubles down, so does he. I don’t think Trump would really take the Strait, but we don’t know, and that is part of his negotiating strategy.
This war has gone on too long, but we have to finish what we started so the world will be a better place. If anyone thinks it is ok for Iran to have a nuclear weapon, they are out of touch or have TDS and can’t help themselves. This war was the right thing to do, no matter how hard the Democrats attack Trump for protecting our country.
Think about the negotiating power Iran would have against the world if it had nukes. They would own the Middle East and rain fear on the populations. I support the effort, but sure as hell wish we could get this ended. All IMO.
“President Trump said Friday that he plans to declare the Strait of Hormuz “a territory of the United States” after the Iran war — as he again slammed US allies for not helping break Tehran’s hold on the waterway.
“After we finish defeating Iran, which is being very badly defeated — pretty soon I’ll be declaring the Hormuz Strait a territory of the United States,” Trump said during a Long Island rally for Republican candidates in the gubernatorial and congressional elections.
President Trump said Friday that he plans to declare the Strait of Hormuz “a territory of the United States” after the Iran war.
Trump acknowledged the economic effects of the nearly six-month conflict, but argued that ensuring Iran could not build a nuclear weapon was worth paying “a tiny little bit more for your gasoline.”
“When you have to pay a little bit more, you’re at $4. It’s okay,” he said. “I’ll never apologize. I did the right thing.”
