Outrageous. If any other country's leader posted this crap it would be seen as an act of war. Our service members are being put in grave danger because of the childishness of this administration.

This is one time I wouldn't object to Trump slapping his name on something. As long as he's claiming the Strait of Hormuz as US territory, he should also rename it the Strait of Trump, so with 20% of the world's oil supply choked off, the name would be a constant reminder of whose fault it is.

Trump's alternative reality: "There are no talks or conversations going on, or scheduled, with Iran. The Naval Blockade remains in full force and effect. The Hormuz Strait is open and operating." (Almost no ships have been going through the strait in recent days, so no, it is not open)

Any doctors in the comments? Could a person's belief in such a delusion in service of loyalty to Trump be medically classified as some sort of 'Trump Derangement Syndrome?' Asking for 32% of our country.

He's literally trying to become a world power while alienating ALL the allies the US has ever had. SO full of crap (literally) talking out his a** continually. #VoteBlueToSaveUS #TrumpEpsteinPedoCoverUp

How to make enemies of Qatar, Oman, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bharain, and Iraq who are either losing territory within that rather imprecise circle or will lose a vital trade link. And you think oil prices are high now!

I think Trump has found a way to win this battle. He claims that the US now owns the Strait of Hormuz. The media will then make this into a situation where both sides must be respected while they simply report what they are told by the relevant authorities. You decide which side is correct.

While Trump is a horrible, it’s still sad to see that his advanced age has diminished his hand-to-eye coordination to the point that he’s lost confidence in his sharpie skills.

Since 1980, the "Lunar Embassy Commission" has been selling titles to real estate on the moon. Trump's creation of a US territory out of the territorial waters of Iran and Oman is a similar development, except that "lunar" has been replaced by "lunatic."

The man is flaying.....trolling the world with childish nonsense because he HAS NOTHING, and no way to end this insane war.

Those 3 countries aren't going to be happy with the Imperialist US taking parts of their countries. The only way to take the territories is boots on the ground. This will cost thousands of American lives.

You’ve completely lost the pointless war against Iran. The negotiations over the Strait of Hormuz are now taking place without you. Who exactly is your ridiculous idiot trying to impress?

Will we hear about this in the US media or will they gloss over it? This is NO WHERE CLOSE TO NORMAL. Wake the F up. And, We're STILL gonna need to see them EPSTEIN FILES.

There hasn't been any Republican leadership for years. Just hundreds of sycophants queueing up to lick the orange ass.

Sometimes you are struck by the revelation that this is the US president tweeting like some 4chan dude and how we got so used to it that it feels like just another day in the world we live in now.

Kind of like the “Gulf of America.” Just poof! Mark it on a map to make it so. Should be a comfort to the families of the American soldiers who died for this feckless caprice. And the 624 wounded.
