DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) President Donald Trump lashed out Tuesday at allies who have been unwilling to do more to support the U.S. war effort against Iran, telling them to go get your own oil and saying it was not America's job to secure the Strait of Hormuz.
The president said the military could end its offensive in two to three weeks and that the U.S. will not have anything to do with what happens next in the strait that has been closed by the Islamic Republic. Instead, he told reporters, the responsibility for keeping the vital waterway open will rest with countries that rely on it.
Theres no reason for us to do this, Trump said after signing an executive order that seeks to restrict mail-in voting. Thats not for us. Thatll be for France. Thatll be for whoevers using the strait.
The White House said Trump would deliver a prime-time address Wednesday evening to update the public on the war.

(3,722 posts)I'm sure all the Arab countries that have given him billions worth of planes and crypto funding and deals with his son-in-law expecting that this sort of thing would reciprocated in the form of protecting their countries militarily are going to be very well-pleased by this development.
Guess what, dipshits? He is a liar, and a grifter, and a criminal to his CORE.
And everything he touches?
