If Trump cedes the strait of Hormuz to the enemy he should be immediately impeached and removed for treason. Add his levying war on the Capitol to aid and confort treason. Ban from any office for life, remove all benefits from him and Trump crime family including USSS details.
Trump got the U.S. nothing from his visit to China, other than China promising to buy some Boeing planes, fewer than expected.
Trump FAILED to convince China to pressure Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, Xi and China were showered with endless praise and groveling from the president of the United States for the whole world to watch.
China keeps getting stronger, more emboldened when it comes to Taiwan, and more powerful globally while Trump picks fights with longtime U.S. allies.
Back at the White House, Trump had nothing concrete to point to as a success:
“All I can say is that was a great success… A lot of things have happened and you’ll be hearing about them, but that was a tremendous success. I think it really was a historic moment.”
An absolute embarrassment for the United States.
Three consecutive downward revisions. 4.4% → 0.7% → 0.5%.
The economy was already decelerating before the first
strike on Iran. Now add $4.16 gas, closed shipping lanes,
and a ceasefire with no written document.
The war didn't cause the slowdown. It buried the evidence
of one already happening.
Based on Trump’s latest post, here’s the victory some Americans died for and the rest of us will pay for with debt & inflation: the regime stays in power, grows even more hard-line, Iranians hate America even more, and oil prices stay permanently higher. Other than that, we win.
