“All of these countries should be protecting their own ships on what has always been.a dangerous journey,” he wrote on Twitter on Monday, noting China and Japan specifically.
WMD - Bushs' golden thread.
Good
Many countries don’t have required resources.
Well these countries and their citizens enjoying luxurious life on the expense of USA security provided for them with USA taxpayers money.
You’re there to suck up to the interests of Israel and Saudi Arabia. You know exactly why you’re there so stop playing victim.
Do some good let shipping borrow a seal team with night vision glasses, solve problem till they get their own. Working against Somali pirates.
I call on tRump to pay for his multiple minivacations and his own protection where ever he goes. Why should we have to pay for something we don't get to enjoy.
TVMohandasPai Not able to understand why every country should buy oil in terms of USD? Why one should support USD?
Everything is about money with this Deplorable Unfortunately the only thing realDonaldTrump was successful at was being an employee of NBCNewYork
Good Question
Why did this dumb thug create the crisis in the first place? I bet Iranians couldn't care less about Indian or Dutch or Korean tankers
All countries as sovereign nations must protect their own assets,ships,planes,at their own costs as common law doctrine!this is pure nationalism denying the reality of globalism as myth.Trump,nayUS18th century constitutional doctrine,does not recognise UN over US. Do/Die for it?
Good thinking.
Does POTUS realize the oil market is a global one, and price fluctuations due to geopolitical risk would effect US oil output?
I can’t stand him but it’s a good question to ask.
Excellent point
Shoot me now, I agree with Trump
Isn't that the sort of thing a President of the United States should know?
Hello? The US of A is the world leader and world police officers positions they fought for and demanded. If Trump and the US can not handle these positions turn the front seat over to China or Russia and complain from the back of the bus. Case Closed!
They should ! Good idea we are not the worlds police men ! Tax money for America not other countries let them foot the bill !
He is at it again. Alienating our Allies with his compensation speech.
Trump makes very good point. Libs will make fun but won’t have an answer for his question. As usual. trump2020
DNAtv Why doesn't he ask his Joint Chiefs of Staff why? Take his brilliant idea of bringing more warships from other countries--some of whom don't get along with each other very well--into the narrow Strait of Hormuz, and run it by his military council, see what they think?
protecting him from indictment while president is the only protection he's on board with, and we are all paying for that
Because for years the US has imposed itself the world's policeman. Not saying that's a good or bad thing but that's why.
Let's see: First we were going to retaliate against Iran for damaging oil tankers near the Strait...Then we sent up a drone and found out that Iran has the technology to detect and shoot down high altitude aircraft. Then we were going to retaliate. Now...fuhgeddaboudit.
Again!...The common sense POTUS who Made America Great Again, makes a great point!! Pay your own damn way, DJT is putting America first!! 🇺🇸
He sure has a point, doesn't he?
Because:oil
Just as is with NATO...
Of course he does. He's a thug who doesn't have a clue about the global responsibilities of leadership.
Want their warships there! Hell no
realDonaldTrump Then pull our Navy from the area. Simple huh. Oh, and what about the children you are holding hostage in our country without basic needs and rights?
He’s the smartest man in Washington — Some of those other mfs on the left, are ready to lay down and die for foreign entities & govs. Traitors. RiseGOP Legend
Trump is a mercenary, he is not a world leader. He’s just a con man masquerading as a president. Trump would have demanded money, before he would bother to rescue Jews from the concentration camps, or Europe from Hitler’s armies.
I like the concern of Mr Trump in US providing service to other nations without any compensation! Learn from China that nothing is given free, and from India that too many things are given free- that too, for the most undeserving! That's why India remains never-to-be developed!
He tweeted Straight. He doesn’t even know how to spell it. Do you think he could point it out on a map? ID the surrounding countries? I don’t.
Always about the money - unless it’s money for the stagnant wages . Or the life and health of the people. Greed is only good for the WEALTHY- and the fools who think they will be wealthy- someday. Fools -vote and behave AGAINST THEIR OWN BEST INTERESTS.
President Flunky
President Kickback wants to get his beak wet in the Persian gulf.
Money does not solve the problem that realDonaldTrump has created. Worls peace can not be monetized in this way. He has created a dangerous situation and expects other gov'ts. to pay for it. Loser
How about this novel idea? Slap a naval protection tax American businesses that ship internationally.
He wants USA to be like the mafia. USA can protect. But first pay up the protection money. There is no give and take or allies or need in his sick mind. No diplomacy or history. Just racketeering.
Make him find the Strait of Hormuz on a map
Gee, this is starting to resemble alleged foundation for a 'do it yourself' war. If 'somebody' attacks enough tankers, (the argument goes) the U.S. gets to topple Iran!
We have to thank for US.Your achievement should be applauded.
It’s part of the greasing of the wheels of business .The I’ll scratch your back if you scratch mine with purchase of military equipment and we will also turn a blind eye to civil right violations. The swamp is deep in DC as well as with Foreign policy
The heavier the traffic is, the higher the chances of collisions and conflicts ... Stupid idea.
Excellent question. Why have we? Who knew.
It seems to me, the least a president of the US should know is that, in international affairs, not everything is about money.
When stupid isn’t good enough.
Trump needs to study history, especially peace treaties with Japan ensuring Japan had no weapons of war, ending the occupation, providing security, and establishing a U.S. presence in the East. Maybe Trump wants Japan to call in the $1.3 trillion in American debt that it holds.
What he means is that now countries will need to PAY him. He's always FOR SALE
Agree.
Bravo! Time for others to step up!
United States mercenary Navy. This mf is sick.
The Simple answer that FakePresident doesn't understand is that the US didn't want other countries to have their navies in the vicinity. Can't control what other people do.
Because of the need to protect the oil, silly.
Guess who put that bug in his ear? American murdering Saudi Arabia.
LOLLLL .... what a joke ..... perhaps Trump should close all American bases overseas, cut military spending .... and save billlions for American taxpayers?
I have been saying this for a long time
I guess China and Russia could start doing that, gain influence over the countries of the world and take over the world. Trump would not care if it happens, as long as he keeps getting money from Saudi Arabia.
I hope is not just more BLA BLA BLA... we should NOT USE OUR MILITARY PROTECTING INTERNATIONAL CORPORATE SHIPPING 'But I think it's just more lying by Trump.
Burial at sea.
About time
He wanted to use USD as toilet paper?
Do you wanna know why? Cause it actually makes sure other countries don’t develop their army too much so they are under the us umbrella so they have no other choice than to listen and do what they say
Next up: Oil price spike causes USA recession.
Good question
I’m waiting for him to put his name on the flag so he can profit from anyone who flies it....
So we are a protection racket now. 'Nice Strait you got there, ...'
Mobster! Trump is despicable
You mean the straight?
Racketeer in chief
This paranoia that everyone is always trying to hustle you is interesting. Can’t trust anyone because they want your stuff.
Well US trying to be there like street gangster but after drone incident that gangster reputations on the knee.
DO IT!
Indeed a business minded person!
WE ARE BEING COMPENSATED WITH CHEAP OIL PRICES
Because we don't want China to build up their navy you moron
Are you kidding me 🤦🏻♀️
