President Donald Trump on Sunday said the U.S. Navy would "immediately" begin a blockade of ships entering or leaving the Strait of Hormuz, after U.S.-Iran ceasefire talks in Pakistan ended without an agreement or next diplomatic steps in sight.

In his first public comments after the 21-hour talks, Trump sought to eliminate Iran's key source of leverage in the war by exerting strategic control over the waterway that was responsible for 20% of global oil shipping before fighting began.

A U.S. blockade could further rattle global energy markets. Trump told Fox News the goal was to ensure all ships could transit: "It's going to be all or none, and that's the way it is."

No, he wanted the stock market to go DOWN so he can BUY LOW.

Then he changes his mind and the stock market goes back up and the he SELLS HIGH.

Haven't you been watching?

It's "if I can't have it, nobody can!" In other words, Donald Trump is a malignant narcissist toddler. More at 11.

11 you say? Now now now now now......is that above or below the age of the girls he used to rape on epsteins island? Since they won't release the files, but we know he's guilty, I think it's fair game to speculate as to these little details.

Because we all know he's guilty. The epstein stuff first came up about 10 years ago, during trumps first term. Now if I were accused of raping kids, and I had files that proved my innocence, I wouldn't attempt to distract people. That's what he does. All of this, is bordering on WWIII and it's all just one big distraction from the fact that trump is not only a rapist, but a pedophile. We're all suffering because this asshole in power refuses to do the right thing.

Instead, he just says "SMOKE BOMB!!!" and runs away, as if anyone is falling for it.
