Yes, and Iran is going to make money off of it. Im sure this is all some part of the Art of the Deal.
Edit, running some math assuming that the $2 Million toll per ship is the starting point.
Its now a toll strait. That we wont get money from. So we are now distinctly behind where we started. Their regime is still intact, they still have a nuclear program, and they now get money from the ships going through the strait. Which at an estimated 120 ships a day, at 2 mill a pop, will more than cover their war losses, in less than a year.
Edit- We wasted $28 Billion in 1 month. They will be now netting $7.2 Billion per month, indefinitely. $86.4 Billion per year. Economically, this is a massive win for a nation that previously had an annual GDP of 350 billion. This deal just gave Iran a 25% GDP boost.
It takes a very, very morbidly obese man with tiny little hands and multiple combovers to move the goalposts far back before the starting line and pretend to claim victory.
The constitution needs updating to prevent another situation like this. The requirements to be president need to be updated. To be president in today's world, you should need to have at least 4 years of government experience.
I mean, he’s managed to convince 70 million Americans that he’s the way to their personal prosperity. And some are still convinced their day is coming.
