Donald Trump has suggested that the United States is looking to seize Iran’s oil industry, appearing to argue that more time is needed for the war.

“With a little more time, we can easily OPEN THE HORMUZ STRAIT, TAKE THE OIL, & MAKE A FORTUNE,” the US president wrote in a social media post on Friday.

[....]

Trump has been promising for weeks that the US will reopen the strait soon. One month ago, he said that US Navy ships would accompany oil ships through the strategic waterway.

The US president appeared to double down on his call later on Friday. “KEEP THE OIL, ANYONE?” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.

1. So that's the mission.

The criminal is gonna steal shit. Of course.
He could have said it from the start instead of all the bullshit.
Everyone knew.

3. He needs to shut his pie hole. Nt

[Swede]

4. 90,000,000 Iranians say "Fuck that!"

Who is gonna be safe working in this magical kingdom, Donald?

[Lovie777]

5. There it is in plain view..............

and the reason why the US attacked Iran.

It wasn't for the "concern" for protesters, nor the well being for the citizens of Iran.

Acquiring the rights to Iran's oil was the only objective while shithole's family is planning for resorts in Gaza and elsewhere in the ME.

6. Grand Larceny is the billionaire's way /nt

[AverageOldGuy]

7. Seize Iran's oil fields . . .

. . . the same way The Dick Cheney and Halliburton seized Iraq's oil fields??? That ended well.

[Norrrm]

13. Iraq's oil was supposedly going to pay for Dubya's war.

Has anyone seen the bank statements on that?

[Mysterian]

27. Imbecile AWOL Bush's crooked regime paved the way for republicans to install

an even crazier psychopath in Donald Trump. And the propaganda masters made it all happen. No accountability for those who lied us into a needless and costly war. "Let's do it again," said the billionaire robber barons. "The gullible peons have been brainwashed to cheer for everything we want to do."

[Javaman]

8. Two more weeks?

He’s going to seize the oil fields on the 12th of never

9. Trump isn't a president, he's a mob boss.

[travelingthrulife]

15. Always has been

[twodogsbarking]

10. But if you steal one quart of oil at Walmart you get arrested.

[GiqueCee]

11. I find it more than a little alarming...

... to hear the supposed President of the United States openly brag about usurping another country's natural resources for his own profit. But then, that's the exact same bullshit the US pulled back in 1953, when they agreed to help Britain do the same thing by deposing the democratically elected president of Iran, Mohammad Mossadegh, putting him under house arrest, and installing "Shah" Reza Pahlavi and his version of Trump's personal Gestapo, ICE, the notoriously savage SAVAK.
Trump's America is rapidly turning into Putin's Russia, and Republicans are just fine with it. Fuckin' traitors.
The Manchurian Candidate 2.0 needs to be dealt with harshly.

[Wonder Why]

12. All it will take is more Iranian children dying and the lives of American "losers".

[travelingthrulife]

14. All about stealing their oil, as usual.

It all belongs to Dementia Donnie.

[JoseBalow]

16. I hope nobody here is surprised by this

When has drumpf ever done anything that isn't only about his own greedy self-enrichment?

[Bayard]

17. MAGAts will be a-okay with that

Epstein! Epstein! Epstein!

[Aristus]

18. You have to hand it to him: he's not even bothering with the idiotic,

paper-thin attempts at justification the B*sh administration foisted on the American people. “Those poor Iraqis! We have to liberate them! They will greet us with kisses and candy and flowers and it will be World War II all over again!”

And it was just a greedy oil-grab.

[republianmushroom]

19. What this War is about.

[tonekat]

20. Fortune for who, exactly?

Not the rest of us, that's for sure.

[mwmisses4289]

21. Just as most of us with more than two brain cells to rub together figured.

Oil and rare earth minerals.
Greedy damn idgit, that's what he is.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

22. But I thought we weren't going to open up the Straights of Homuz

How are we going to get the oil when it's not open Donny Shit-for-brains?

[IronLionZion]

23. Just like Iraq and Venezuela?

The same way he got Mexico to pay for the wall

[Martin68]

24. Everything Trump says is a lie.

[Norrrm]

34. Sometimes Trump hits the truth by accident.

He said if I voted for Hillary, there would be a crook in the WH.

Nailed it!

[Hope22]

25. I never thought I would be ruled by pirates!!

Take my vote, use my tax money to steal from and kill others. This feels more and more like hell every day!

[Emile]

28. Sounds like something a convicted felon would say.

[lapfog_1]

29. Take the oil

where exactly?

please explain in detail the logistics of "taking oil"... please tell me how you will take it, where you will take it, how will you store it, how you will process it into useful fuels, and then use it? Please detail the time frame that this will happen.

30. Wow just stealing crap. How did no one ever think of that?

[sakabatou]

31. So we know, one, that's a lie.

Two, it was about oil and other resources. Three, possibly to score points with Putin.

[Irish_Dem]

32. Openly bragging about stealing another country's assets.

Psychopath.

[LilElf70]

33. So his goal

is to STEAL oil from Iran? Aren't we taught as children "not to steal". What a good example he is for the kiddies. Gee, what a president.
