Trump tells aides to prepare for EXTENDED blockade of Iran | Fox News Video

President Donald Trump has reportedly instructed aides to prepare for an extended naval blockade of Iran, assessing that while it drives up gas prices to a national average of $4.22, it remains less risky than resuming a bombing campaign.

Spare us the phony outrage.

If Biden was doing it you’d be singing praises about it.

If President Trump ends the blockade tomorrow you’d be howling that he surrendered to the Iranian Regime.

 

[TimFitz]

Nope, I'm quite happy.

The 3rd largest oil producer in OPEC is pulling out, putting their oil on the market in a free market economy. WONDERFUL news.

I know, you lefties HATE wonderful news for Trump, but not everyone does!

They've been doing that for a while.

If President Trump ends the blockade tomorrow you’d be howling that he surrendered to the Iranian Regime.

Biden would never have been stupid enough to start an unprovoked war in the Middle East with no plan and no clear objectives.

Trump is the fool who did that.

Own it. You're cheering for it!

You can pay your Trump tribute at the gas pump.

 

[TimFitz]

UAE will not offset Iran and the US from blockading each other, and prices will continue to rise.

Don't confuse them with facts. You know how they hate it!

 

[Crepitus]

I thought we won like 4 times already?

So I've been told.

 

[Crepitus]

So Jewish .
If there is a market gap for drought and starvation our local Chabad salesman can quickly produce very good cheap versions .

I'm sure that means something to you but I can't figure out what.

 

[Crepitus]

If you think about it, Trump is putting the country and the world ahead of party and ahead of himself. He could have avoided all this by simply letting Iran have a nuclear bomb but he made the decision that the safety of the US, Israel, and the world was more important than himself or his party. So, I can understand why the party before country would be upset over all this.

Why is it that you kids with "thinker" in your screen names manifestly do not?

 

[Crepitus]

Is cheap gas the only thing you care about?

Normally libs who are freaked out over global warming worship high gas prices

But not if it means denying the crazy muslims atomic weapons

Least I ain't freakin' out over the price of eggs.

All of you kids who are suddenly all for this war crack me the **** up!!!

 

[jacksonlamb]

Thats a lie

Until trump came along dems worshiped the end of fossil fuel

That did not mean we did not love cheap fuel. I have never had an EV or wanted one.

No he just started a proxy war in Ukraine with Russia.

How’s that one going?

 

[Mac-7]

Least I ain't freakin' out over the price of eggs.

Neither am I

 

[jacksonlamb]

No he just started a proxy war in Ukraine with Russia.

How’s that one going?

Russia invaded Ukraine. Delaware did not invade Pennsylvania.

 

[Mac-7]

That did not mean we did not love cheap fuel. I have never had an EV or wanted one.

I love cheap fuel too

But I understand the reason the price is higher now and support the end goal of bringing down the muslim dictatorship

 

[j-mac]

Prove that Iran would use the bomb as the US did.

I need not prove anything to a traitor of this country

 

[drudge X]

I love how Trump is ******* Europe up the ying yang. The loss from this blockade is $600 million a week and a fuel crisis is brewing there. I love to see Europe become China’s ***** and allow Chinese EVs into the market. It would **** their economy to the point of collapse. Even Democrats are smart enough suddenly by begging Trump not to allow Chinese EVs into the country during his meeting with Xi next month.

Meanwhile, UAE pulls out of OPEC, freeing up millions of barrels of oil per day. MAJOR win for Trump. Should bring oil prices down nicely.

United Arab Emirates to leave OPEC May 1, energy chief says still committed to oil price stability

The UAE said it decided leaving OPEC was in its national interest after reviewing its production policy and capacity.

Yes, this has always been a war on OPEC, getting OPEC to hate each other is good for the US, until they start warring with each other and oil prices go even higher.

The reason to weaken OPEC is lower oil. Trump's going into the midterms with inflation and higher oil prices.

Trader Joe is no traitor in the blockade.

And a loss of medical subsidies.

And how is Orange Eyes going to do that. Both sides are staring at each other across the straights as the oil supply goes to hell. We have drawn down our private reserves and the US strategic stocks will stand the strain.
