Joanne JacobsTrump 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: .....????
Mark Whybird@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.
