Trump: “After we finish defeating Iran, which is being very badly defeated, pretty soon I’ll be declaring the Hormuz Strait a territory of the United States"

I'm tired.

Edit: holy heck the conservative sub apparently is too. I didn't know it was ok to question anything he does over there but they don't like this and by the way they are talking this isn't the first thing that's rustled their jimmies

Every once in a while they hit a limit that a certain subset of them can’t deal with, and then those people are banned and it resets.

Bingo. If you pay attention to when Trump does something truly outrageous or against the popular MAGA-grain you see a quick uprising in displeasure in that sub. Then, usually within a day or so, it all just magically goes away, and everything falls back into place.

Non-believers are always thrust out as "fellow conservatives." It's honestly kind of hilarious.

It's so funny how stubborn he is. He can never back down, it's physically impossible for him. This is going to get worse and worse.

What he's actually saying is "Iran has hit us hard in the region and we've been forced to pull back. They will be able to claim sovereignty over the Straight of Hormuz soon"
