Trump said he "exceeded his objectives" in Iran. One wonders what those objectives could have been given that before the war, the Strait of Hormuz was freely open, but thanks to Trump's dealmaking prowess, ships must now pay a toll to Iran to be allowed safe transit.

Heck of a job there, Donny.

@mattblaze Have you heard even a public whisper of "Epstein files" from the media or anyone "in power"?

Objective achieved.

@mattblaze I just exceeded my objectives with a bowel movement. Where are my accolades?

@mattblaze I’m wondering what his personal kickback is on the tolls.

@mattblaze gutting the US military, depleting weapon stockpiles... all wins, for putin.

@mattblaze probably something to do with the speculation and betting that went on around the war. If the objective was to make 1M$ through market manipulation and he made, say, 10M$ instead, that would count as exceeding his objectives, I guess.

@mattblaze Trump's objectives were mostly to open up Iran to new avenues of extorting bribes for himself. He was thinking it would be mostly from oil companies moving in but he's willing to accept a cut of Hormuz transit fees instead.

@mattblaze I think his objective was to use the verbs "obliterate" and "decimate" a lot. He achieved that.

@mattblaze @tchambers I assume his objective was to become $100m richer. His son made $170m

Was his object make a bunch of money by insider trading?

@alienghic @mattblaze To distract you from the Epstein files. Have you seen much media coverage of his notably missing mentions lately?

@ai6yr @mattblaze

Curses the media magician fooled us again!

@mattblaze That was his objective. Our "Israel First" duper is making a killing off this.

@mattblaze "exceeded *HIS* objectives", not the countries, his personal goals, riches for Donny and co.

@mattblaze With the toll comes higher prices for oil and higher prices for gasoline and every other product that uses oil

He made bank.

His friends made bank.

Hell, even 18 year old Barron made $170 million on insider trading.

QED.
