Vintage doublespeak from our Vietnam "excursion".

Trump has to close the "Straight" so the Iranians don't close the "Straight".

Just like he had to start this war so that Iran would not start this war.

It's all quite simple and logical...if you speak Orwellian.

Now Donnie is closing it for?……..reasons unknown. Outside of his demented mind anyway. It’s levels of stupidity we’ve rarely seen.

He's going to start charging a toll to pass through, and he's just pissed that that Iranians thought of the idea first.
