Trump says "we can't allow another nation to extort money from us" in relation to the Strait of Hormuz.

The same person who absolutely is extorting the rest of the world through tariffs.

I mean: .....????

Tiny mind - small thoughts.
Goes with his hands β€” & another part of his anatomy apparently 😬.
@joannejacobs Stupid is as stupid does!
@joannejacobs It's very simple; only HE gets to extort people.

@joannejacobs
IKR Iran citizens clustering around infrastructure to deter us bombing them he says 'they can't do that it's ILLEGAL' which screams hypocrisy in two flavors. Entire cities have not committed as many crimes, AND foul play in war after double tap perfidy and threaten genocide gonna cry war crime?

Bitch Pahleese.

@joannejacobs Well, the tariffs mostly just extort Americans anyway…
@whybird Not really. Yes, US citizens will of course be worse off, because prices will rise. But depending on the tariff and the product, some countries are much worse off, because an Orange Man has a fragile ego. That's the reality. But people being better or worse off is less important than the threat - the extortion - that sale of goods is subject to behaving as the Orange Man dictates.
