Grampy salivates over concept of plan to charge Hormuz tolls in "joint venture" with Iran..."It's a beautiful thing."

[Miles Archer]

Trump has suggested teaming up with Iran for a “joint venture” less than a day after threatening to obliterate the entire country.

Speaking to ABC News’ Chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl, the 79-year-old president was asked whether he would accept Tehran charging a toll for ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz in the wake of the two-week ceasefire deal.

“We’re thinking of doing it as a joint venture. It’s a way of securing it—also securing it from lots of other people,” Trump said. “It’s a beautiful thing.”

1. If I didn't know any better, I'd have guessed a joint was involved

His brain is permanently baked.

2. "Let's share the protection money"

It was free before he started the war

3. Yeah, they'll just jump into a joint venture with the asshole who threatened to annihilate them.

The delusion is strong in this one.

5. And last time I checked, all 160 of the children Trump murdered are still dead.

Most of the people I know do not discuss 9/11 on a daily basis, but on the other hand, I do not know ANYONE who has "forgotten" 9/11.

One of the worst aspects of this is that in the midst of all of the fire and fury chest thumping with Trump and Hegseth, the little matter of murdering 160 children has dropped from the headlines.

I'd be willing to bet that Iran hasn't forgotten about it, though.

7. His Epstein atrocities are the reason for these "Weapons of mass distraction"

The bastard just loves to rape and murder little girls.

The devil in a baggy suit.

16. More children were murdered than those at the girl's school.

There are 1,000s dead. Iranians aren't going to forget about it soon.

[Miles Archer]

17. I know, but that 160 was coming out of the gate...

...one might think that after a catastrophic result like that, the U.S. would have taken a step back and realized this wasn't going well.

Then, the rhetoric about the stone age, blah blah blah, my ballroom, blah blah blah, destruction like no one has ever seen, etc etc etc.

4. Show him a shiny new grift

glittering like cheap gold and he'll forget about everything else and run after it like a child after a popsicle.

6. Dang. I predicted that.

Somewhere in recent posts.

It figures.

And some people thought that Blazing Saddles was a parody.



It was visionary.

8. Raise your hand if you think he means "The US will share profits from the tolls" rather than

"I will pocket half the money from the tolls".

I believe that he is stealing our treasury and no one is willing to tell him no.

And before anyone starts with "there are laws and rules in place to keep that from happening!"....look around. Rules literally don't apply to him...and anyone who was willing to tell him no is gone.

9. "BUT HE CAN'T DO THAT!!!!!"

10. What could possibly go wrong?

11. From enemies to BFFs

It only took a few dollars to get Donnie’s love and affection.

12. Start opening your already strained wallets again as this fiasco develops.

13. How bizarre, as usual

Someone call the EMT's in the white coats.

14. He has a lot of top secret documents

He can share with his new found friends to sweeten the deal, sure that won't be a problem... For him

15. Everything is about money with trump.
