On Saturday afternoon, a reporter asked the president at the White House before boarding a plane to comment on Iran’s ignoring his demand to reopen the Strait. The president immediately scolded the reporter.
“How do you know that? Why do you say that?” Trump asked, to which the reporter told the president about reports that the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. He replied, “Why do you say that? You don’t know anything. Who are you with? Who are you with?”
It was before the negotiations. The media has made success with Iran almost impossible. The media, Democrats, NATO, and some Republicans are so vocal in their opposition for the war that Iran knows they have a shot at destroying the US midterms if they suffer through more bombings. They don’t care if the water or electricity is cut off, and thir people die. They simply don’t care. It’s for the cause.
China is also allegedly sending more weapons.
President Trump is frustrated with our media, who report the US lost the war 24/7. He noted that Iran had 28 mine droppers. While having control of the Strait of Hormuz, they were dropping mines. Is it safe to say that the largest sponsors of terror in the world shouldn’t have control over 20% of the global trade, which mainly includes oil and gas?
The media really doesn’t care. Their primary focus is on demonizing Donald Trump and asserting that everything is hopeless.
