Trump, who clearly feels he isn't getting enough attention this morning, lies that "the U.S.A. has total control over over the Strait of Hormuz. I THINK WE WILL KEEP IT! ... Praise be to Allah!" Completely demented.

So, the U.S. has no control over the Strait, ships are getting through the blockade because troops are hungry and listless, Iran doesn't need a navy or air force to have the upper hand, and Trump mocking the god of the world's largest religion is going unchecked. Or did I "opposite" that wrong?

US control of the Strait depends largely on an aircraft carrier whose crew is so burned out by a nearly yearlong deployment that they are apparently rioting and jumping overboard in desperation. What is happening on the USS Lincoln?

Rep Raskin calls it, ”The Strait of Warm Ooze” . As of of 8/12/26 , there have now been 165 days of a USA-Iran war-that “ Isn’t really a war per Trump and MAGA Congress”. Netanyahu has been overly successful in putting all the blame on the USA, i.e., Trump & MAGA politicians.

The conman in chief tells us what we know not to be true, every single person on the planet knows. So why on earth did he embarrass himself, maybe because he has always done this, lie, cheat, make stuff up and he doesn't suffer from embarrassment. Shameless loser.

This is the kind of bullshit that really, really angers "sleeper cells." And the problem is that average, everyday Americans and Military members become the targets, not the lard-assed loud-mouthed rapist felon who squirted this out.

We need to learn that when he raves about something like Strait of Hormuz, being the best president, we’re winning the war, election fraud, etc. It’s the opposite. That’s his tell. We all know he’s a liar 🤥

Well, it IS Wednesday. That means tomorrow he'll start sabre rattling, Friday some unnamed White House source will say Dear Leader is going to nuke Iran over the weekend, and then Monday morning he'll go back to asserting that Iran wants to negotiate. Wash, rinse, repeat.

I think he might rattle that Sabre starting today through Thursday, by Friday when markets close he’ll be silent except for a tweet or 2; come Monday when markets open will depend on what shit he spews or if he’ll take some sort of action. That’s what I think. Been his pattern to manipulate markets

That's why I was thinking he'd start mouthing off Friday...to manipulate the market before the close. But his timing is always suspect no matter what. Either way, it's the same pattern. Let's come back Monday and see who predicted accurately! ;)

It's like we elected Wimp Lo to the Oval Office. "HA! Iran cannot withstand my devastating 'Face Blocks Fist' style, and the rest of the world is awed by my 'Groin Cushions Instep Kick' technique! I'm bleeding, so I'm clearly the WINNER! Thank you for your attention to this ass-kicking!"

I'm grateful I am still relatively young enough I will live to see the day when this is all in the rear view mirror and we find out exactly how deep into an AI alternate reality Miller and Cheung have shoved Donnie.

Did he actually f’ing say ‘Praise be to Allah’? That will go over well with the Muslim world.. and the Christian right wing should look at him a little sideways..

Securing a shipping lane isn’t the same as owning it. Talking about “keeping” the Strait of Hormuz turns a military operation into an imperial fantasy. Allies and markets hear a president’s words, even when he treats them like a social media stunt.

Do you think Iran and Oman (who continue to discuss the route, fees etc) are even paying attention to him? It's so pathetic. The war's lost (not that he'll ever admit it. See: 2020 election). Such a shame for all the sailors stuck out there.

He's making a huge mistake continually posting about Iran and calling his morons' attention to his abject failure there. My plumber, who's good with toilets but not with thinkin', even thinks the war was a mistake and says the last months have been "pretty bad."

"Our Naval Blockade is being called, by everyone, "A WALL OF STEEL" Ah, that must be why all the ships that got stuck in the strait at the start of Trump's war are still unable to exit...

He won't arrange to feed or relieve sailors who've been stuck on board ship FOR MONTHS, but instead spent taxpayer money to fly AF1 to a military base so the soldiers could tour it, what a F-ing treat for them.

It's getting really exhausting seeing this dick sing and dance over how hard he's fucking over an entire country of people just because he (and Bibi) don't like them.

Did anyone else start reading his tweet, then have to look down and check the date he posted it? All I could think was "haven't I read this before...?" Yeah, me too.

That mocking sarcasm is not something that will lead to Iranians being willing to talk to the ignorant, bombastic, aggressive, quixotic idiots in the Trump regime. Thank you for your attention to this madman.

If any random person posts what he posts, people will rightly conclude that he's insane and probably should be in a mental asylum. That's the person Americans chose to lead us after a disastrous first term and trying to overrule an election he lost.

Iran has not seen their money invested in foreign banks for decades. The idea that you are going to punish them monetarily into submission,is just bad strategy. They play the long game….they have done it before. Their people are used to suffering…that’s all they know.

Does drumof really think he knows and Un stands the Islam culture? I get he thinks it believes he is an annointed one to rule over this universe; but still he is clueless. Only understands what he is fed. Doubt if he did any research on the Middle East; just talk for what he was fed by the royals.

What a lying bag of shit...... if he was in charge of it, it would be open. How stupid do you think the public is? The World is affected because you started an illegal WAR. Stop talking shit, and act like a President.

It really is demented. And if he's aware that he's lying, what's he going to say, tomorrow, the next day, etc., when tanker traffic isn't quickly moving back to its prewar levels?

When intelligence, evidence, and expert advice are systematically disregarded, when one surrounds oneself exclusively with people who offer applause rather than honest criticism, and decisions are taken on incompetent instincts the inevitable result is that the US are driven toward catastrophe.

Someone please ask Big Chicken how many ships have come through the strait we “control”? Our allies, the world economy, and the price of gas are not helped by our ability to keep the strait closed. It was quite open 6 months ago. What did we gain?
