So he wants to end the blockade by blockading the blockade?
You're not blockading me, I'm blockading you! I bet the gulf states regret giving him all those gifts now...
He heard Iran was charging for passage and wanted in?
Most likely this; he found another grift for himself to profit from.
Iran wants bitcoin? Now everyone needs to pay by trumpcoin.
Trump: Yo dawg, I heard you like blockades.
So I blockaded your blockade so you can stop overseas trade while I crash the markets.
Double negatives or something... He doesn't need no education.
And Iran probably shoots the first boat USA lets through, so USA wants to end the blockade by blockading, which will be blocked by Iran.
The madman theory is a political theory commonly associated with the foreign policy of U.S. president Richard Nixon and his administration, who tried to make the leaders of hostile communist bloc countries think Nixon was irrational and volatile so that they would avoid provoking the U.S. in fear of an unpredictable response.
And in this case he actually is mad.
Madman practice
Nixon was pretty irrational himself.
Nixon was a flower girl next to these goons in the WH.
Well, this shows where Adolf's allegiances lie.
