So many leftwingers have Trump dead and buried because of Iran. They have the Republicans dead and buried in the midterms. But Trump --and history--says otherwise.
President Donald J. Trump has directed a bold and decisive U.S. naval blockade to counter Iranian aggression and restore safe passage through the Strait

Trump has always known what the plan was, what would happen, then what he would do next. It's the leftwing and its media who has been confused as they fall for every single Trump feint and misdirection.
But as always, you look at what's currently happening:
1) The blockade is bringing the Iranian leadership to its knees, by stifling its economic engine
2) Trump turned the tables on Iran, by blockading the blockaders. Masterful!
3) The betting markets are with Trump. Oil prices are down, demonstrating companies and investors believe Iran will cave. The stock market is up.
4) Trump is accomplishing all this without violence, which was set up by Trump's tough talk and earlier targeted attacks.
5) The leftwing media is deprived of Iranian news, meaning that Trump's polls will steadily rise.
6) Republicans lead by 5 points in the generic ballot, when usually the incumbent party trails by 15 at the midterms.
Basically Trump has done an escape/reversal on the left. In wrestling, it's known as a hip slinky.
