US Election & Presidency

Now Iran has closed the strait of Hormuz again!! ($300bn wasted)
Think Iran has Trump by the short n curlies and and are trying to bankrupt the USA

Israel actually bailing the US out in a way if so. That deal was horrendous but can they actually get a better one?

The US could get Israel under control at any time by stopping all military and financial aid till they comply but they choose not too. AIPAC's strangle hold is strong.

See JD Vance has claimed that Trump's IQ would put him in the top ten of the best IQ's for the past Presidents.

How it is possible Trump's IQ can be better when some of the past Presidents are dead as pointed out by LBC's James O Brien?

I think China is the country that stood up to Trump the most. When he put a 145% tariff on goods from China, they put a 125% tariff on goods from the USA, making him back down. Today most of the products affected by the 145% tariff have only a tariff of 10%.

Then there's Greenland of course, which Trump said he would take one way or another. That was resisted pretty strongly, by Greenland, Denmark, NATO and others.

My understanding what's happened in the peace meeting at Geneva today.

An Iranian & US delegation were in discussion together with Pakistan and Qatar.

Trump's made a tweet saying if they didn't come to an agreement then their plane wouldn't arrive home.

So the Iranian delegation walked out in protest.

The orangutang needs to keep quiet. He's caused enough problems.
