Maybe Trump will accept Iran's toll if we tell him it's a tariff.

A lot of people don't realize that the strait may take months for resource flow to get back to normal, even if its opened up to all traffic.

Trump stated, "they were arresting priests, ministers, and everybody else, for holding Church Services, even when going outside, and being 10 and even 20 feet apart".Fact Check Context: While there were instances of pastors receiving citations or being arrested for defying local public health orders, reports indicate these generally involved large, crowded indoor gatherings, not outdoor gatherings where people were socially distanced by 10 or 20 feet. WHAT ABOUT ALL THE RALLIES DURING COVID THAT TRUMP WAS HAVING WITHOUT SOCIALLY DISTANCE OR MASK WEARING???

Trump has the mindset of a 5-year-old with sour grapes syndrome

Yup, concerning Trump's sleepless posting. I have ADHD - I recognise the 'if you can't sleep, you can't try to' and I am nowhere near functional enough to work, let alone run a country BUT I do understand that that disturbed brain function in the middle of the night is NOT the right thing to share publically and on social media. It isn't Trump 's mental health that is the issue precisely, it is his unmanaged, undiagnosed and untreated mental health issues.

Trump is a child “you can’t block it if I am blocking it” followed by a tantrum.
