Rule of acquisition 34
Um, in the spirit of “what’s good for the goose is good for the gander,” lifting sanctions on Iranian oil does not make Iran any money at all. It just lowers prices in the country implementing the tariffs, the USA. The tariffs are the dumb idea, lifting them is good, even in this case.
(I know there are circumstances where tariffs are good. This does not seem to be one of them.)
You seem to be conflating sanctions and tariffs. Are you sure you know what you are talking about?
Um. Lifting the sanctions lets tankers carrying Iranian oil sell it on the global market and then turn around and buy more from Iran. How does that not make Iran money?
Sorry to @jonathan and you. The original reports were about tariffs, but that makes little sense. You are both absolutely right.
The guy is used to failing upward and has now reached the highest position. There is no failing upward from being POTUS.
Straight…
Ah yes, the negotiator
Now ask yourself how he managed to bankrupt - amongst other things - a casino. A fucking casino, money printing machines!
He also lifted measures on Russian oil, and the higher gas prices are making electric cars even more attractive. The result is that among the few winners in this war are his old friends Putin and Musk.
Maybe the guy who thinks everything is a zero sum game isn’t good at business.
“raised oil for Americans” no bro, the rest of the world don’t exist, only USA, Trump and the Democrats.
raised nitrogen fertilizer prices too
And all his buddies made huge trades on oil futures just a couple days ago
Trump is playing 5D chess.
That’s when you stroke out so hard both your enemies AND your allies smell burnt toast.
Yeah, you’ve got it. Irony will fuck you every time.
Don’t forget the alienation of our allies, and loss of national prestige on the world stage.
This must be the dumbest war ever fought.
Yet. Still have 3 more years unless the cholesterol does it’s thing.
I dont know if societies will be very happy with three more years under Trump. He is doing so many chaotic things.
on the one hand, everyone hates him, but on the other hand, billions of people are thrilled about him destabilising America
Is that really true? Have you talked to Trump supporters and they are happy with this?
It just seems that no ordinary person is winning with Trump…
Ah you meant other countries probably. Yeah I can see that.
The only accurate part of this is that Trump is an incredibly massively, stupid piece of shit. But, because that is such an enormous part of this story, such an enormous part that it eclipses the rest of it, I’m willing to let it slide.
The US did just lift trade sanctions on Iranian and Russian oil

Thanks for source did not realize it was also Iranian oil as every headline (including this one) only mentions Russia.
It is oversimplified, but what is not accurate there?
Trump did illegally bomb Iran. Iran closed the straight Trump lifted the Restrictions
The only untrue part is that Trump authored art of the deal. It was ghost written and according to the author Trump literally didn’t give any input
Fox didn’t tell OP that detail.
