I can’t believe this buffoon is still in charge of anything.
You know a few journalist had any integrity you would call BS on Trump and what he has to say because it changes minute by minute day by day and it’s never the same. It’s whatever he wants to say that makes him look good. Call him on his lies if you want to be a respected journalist.
Trump 🤦♂️
Yeah Right!
Och! Anyone still listening to Donald needs their head checked. He's not even worth bothering reporting on. My heart aches for the innocent in Iran, Lebanon and in the Middle East. Trump and the rest of these leaders need to be ditched on a remote, unpopulated island and left to sort it out for themselves and leave the rest of us alone! ~from Alberta (yes, THAT Alberta. Not all of us have gone off the deep end, not by a long chalk!!) 🇨🇦
Oh? So now he wants to Unf*ck the situation he caused?
Free the ship in the strait? They can't even send a single navy boat through the straits since the start of the war!!!!
Please, the man is a moron. Stop reporting on all his demented rambling.
Statement timed to raise Monday’s stock market. Nothing more to it.
None of this would be happening to the people of Iran if Donald Trump had not joined Israel's war and attacked Iran. The Straits of Hormuz would be open, thousands of innocent Iranians would not be dead, oil and petrol prices would be normal, the global economy would not be in turmoil, innocent Lebanese, Israeli's and American service personnel would still be alive and breathing. ALL THIS TO SATISFY ONE MANS EGO AND DISTRACT ATTENTION FROM HIS INVOLVEMENT WITH A KNOWN SEX TRAFFICKER AND PEDOPHILE. What a mess the world is in.
The brit's have no balls, so we 🇺🇸 have to come to your rescue again. Your welcome.
This barely touched on what interests me. I would love to see some good stories about the international crews, the average joes stuck on these ships: their thoughts, feelings and experiences there.
Don't trust trump on anything he says or does.
If you want to fuk something up just involve trump and all will fail
More Trump delusional propaganda.
Read between the lines. Iran are charging a toll for all ships. USA is blocking Iran ships. So currently no traffic.
Under Operation Freedom (FooledEm) Iran ships will still be blocked by USA. Trump is only offering to help third party ships. But third party ships will still have to pay a toll. If the toll is not paid the third party ships will never make it to the other side of the Strait. US ships will not go onto the Strait.
So reading between the lines = no change. Iran wins. Iran gets $1million per ship in tolls. USA escorts not needed for third party ships so USA is offering nothing
Before evidence was made obvious– Trump said he didn't know Epstein very well.
Easy to said hard to do.
Everything Trump does makes things worse.
the con is on….No go and a joke..
That lunatic won't free up anything. It's just hot putrid orange air.
Pretty much how we feel in the US
Except I think Trump is potentially more dangerous
If police were shout in the US, as they were in Iran…do you not think people would get the death penalty for a capital crime?
TRUTH they would
Trump just telegraphed to the enemy his military strategy and we are likely going to see US naval vessels and oil tankers being attacked by missiles and drones because Trump can’t keep his mouth shut. He is an embarrassment and international laughingstock.
Suicide mission, only safe way is to pay the $2 million fees to Iran
to the rescue..?? this tool created this world wide catastrophe…Epstein Files and soon….the key to your question..
Iran has the right to execute any one who is the informer of criminal Israel. British kingdom has the same right.
Why does the BBC keep calling this evil orange painted brain dead festering pile of pig puke a president ". He is the biggest mass murderer of the last two centuries". Worse than Hitler. The BBC back then told the truth. Now they are sucking up to this evil insect like killer. Fir gids sake he executed 160 plus school girls. Not a word said against him. ( They call him president trump. ). He is a Nazi killer executed USA citizens in the street. Nothing hardly said. By the BBC. Or quickly forgotten " they always interview people who love him." No one stopped Hitler Mmmmm that went well eh Mrs beeb " call him out call him a mass murderer" a killer , tens of millions are dead because of this creature " he is causing worldwide chaos". And the BBC loves him. Gives him the pedestal name of President " your a complete lying bunch of hypocrisy authoring idiots " everyone on utube laughs at the BBC. As every other news outlet calls him out. BBC= cowardly idiots "
US destroyed many dictators of other countries BUT US is the dictator of the world
BBC Whitehouse stenography continues. The deranged orange simpleton couldn't give a stuff about freeing ships "trapped" by his illegal war and maritime piracy, so knock it off with the propaganda and do a bit of journalism.
