Trump Brags About Keeping Hormuz Closed

This is something. Trump just openly admitted he personally blocked a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz because he didn't want Iran making money. "They came to us and they said, 'We will agree to open the strait.' And all my people were happy, except me. I said, 'Wait a minute, if we open the strait, that means they're gonna make $500 million a day.' I don't want them to make $500 million a day until they settle this thing. So I'm the one who kept it closed." So the guy who was locked out of the Situation Room for being too erratic is now bragging that he personally overruled his entire team to keep one of the world's most critical oil chokepoints shut. For vibes. Because he didn't like Iran's revenue number.
