I am very relieved and happy that trump backed off, but his statement says it is subject to Iran

[senseandsensibility]

agreeing to open the strait. Does anyone know if they have? I haven't found anything.

1. In his brain ...

When his casino went bankrupt he brought boxes filled with "Art of the Deal" books to give to the bankers.

He lives in his own world and forgets what he says.

2. I'm relieved too but we can't live like this.

This is yoyo crap isn't healthy. Get the net!

[JBTaurus83]

3. They have opened it for a number of countries

And charge a toll. Sorta like Dump’s Tariff game.

8. He's gotta respect their hustle

He’s just mad they thought of this grift before him.

4. Depends on how one defines opening the strait.

I doubt a few scattered ships going through will satisfy anyone for long, let alone two weeks.

I don't see Iran letting just everyone cruise through immediately either. Even if they did, it will take time to get the backlog of ships and product through, plus resume new traffic, so I wonder how long everyone is going to play along with the ceasefire.

There are also wildcards beyond just Trump's ego, like Houthi's with rockets and speedboats, and other opportunists ready for the revolution, or martyrdom, or whatever comes next for them as well.

I give it until the weekend to break down, but what do I know?

5. What he put the world through is unforgivable

He needs to be removed.

6. Iran is allowing more ships through already

Essentially more and more countries are working deals with Iran. No doubt the strait will be open to anyone willing to pay a fee to use the strait.

7. Who collects the fee? Does Donny get some of it? I wouldn't be surprised.

9. Will Iran still charge a toll of $2 Million per ship to pass thru?
