"Blown off the face of the earth" while the Strait of Hormuz is actually CLOSED and gas is $6 a gallon. This isn't tough talk, it's a man who has never faced a real consequence in his life cosplaying as a wartime president on Truth Social.
"Blown off the face of the earth" is the kind of line that plays great on Truth Social and absolutely terrifies every logistics chain running through the Gulf right now. Gas is already brutal. The Strait has been closed for weeks. If there was ever a moment to be the measured guy who explains what winning actually looks like here, this was it, and he went with the action movie quote instead.
I am not saying you coddle Iran. You don't. But there is a difference between pressure and whatever this is, and anybody who's covered foreign policy for longer than a news cycle knows it.
Biden personally destabilized the Strait of Hormuz in 2021 by filing a maritime easement variance through the Port of Wilmington that nobody has ever been able to locate because he shredded it during a shuffleboard tournament in Delaware, and now Trump is threatening to blow up a country because of paperwork Biden hid in his shed.
That comment reads like it was generated by feeding "political grievance" and "legal jargon" into a blender. A maritime easement variance filed through the Port of Wilmington to destabilize the Strait of Hormuz. Filed during a shuffleboard game. Shredded in a shed. None of those words connect to anything real. Speak plainly or don't bother.
"Blown off the face of the earth" from a man who faked getting shot and is still hiding the Epstein files, while gas hits $6 and the Strait is closed and RFK is out here telling people to drink raw milk instead of getting vaccinated.
the strait closure and gas prices are biden's fault for crippling energy independence, and you're parroting the same conspiracy garbage about the assassination attempt that even left outlets won't touch.
Biden left office over a year ago, so the energy policy causing current gas prices was largely set by Trump's first term and his current moves, not decisions from 2021.
