Trump “couldn’t care less” if Straits of Hormuz are blocked
“I really don’t care. I couldn’t care less,” Trump said in a phone interview with CNBC.
The upshot? Iran has cut off all dialogue channels with the United States, scuttling negotiations because the ceasefire has been violated.
In addition to Trump bombing Iranian facilities over the past few days, Israel has been conquering territory in Lebanon and killing civilians in Gaza. Iran will now totally close off the Strait of Hormuz, skyrocketing global oil prices.
“If they’re over, they’re over. If they’re not, you know, I think they took too much time. Frankly, I thought they started to get very boring," Trump said.
In other words: Trump is too lazy and attention-deficient to actually do his job. He'd much rather spend his time screeching on Truth Social, posting AI slop, and watching montages of explosions on his iPad. He's exactly as dull-witted and easily distracted as his most worst critics claim.
Trump also said that he's "going to ask" Benjamin Netanyahu “what’s going on with Lebanon.”
"What's going on" is that Netanyahu has been using the ongoing conflict with Iran as a pretext to invade Lebanon, slaughter its people, and seize territory that Israel has long coveted.
Either Trump is pretending not to know that — which is entirely possible since he prioritizes Israeli interests over American ones at every turn — or he just can't be bothered to pay attention to what's going on in the world, despite that being his entire job description.
Probably both.
As for his admission that he doesn't care about negotiations breaking down and the Strait closing, it's stunning but perfectly in keeping with his past behavior. He confessed recently that he doesn't think about Americans' financial situations at all.
What does he care if Americans can't afford gas, groceries, or rent? He and his family have never been richer and every day their net worth increases.
Prove me wrong
