American businesses all celebrated when the SCOTUS struck down Trump's socialist tariffs in the Learning Resources case. But they knew it was only the first step in their battle to get their money back from the Trump administration. Trump refuses to give the money back. American businesses are now forced to initiate costly, time consuming litigation against Trump to get the billions of dollars ($) Trump illegally seized from them.

We literally just took over the Worlds supply of oil, less Russia, today. hours ago
and you are talking about tariffs. we are going to have so much damn money, watch this.
Wrong, LeBoof. I have talked about Russians many, many times. I was the one who informed you that Russians are conspiring with Iranians to murder American soldiers. You never even thanked me for educating you about America's enemies.
So, the new battle (presuming that we can actually blockade Iran) becomes, Which one gives first?
- Trump’s tolerance of high oil and low stock market, or
-Iran’s tolerance of severe economic hurt to their citizens?
The answer is already clear.
sort of
really, the new battle is 'what will China do.'
China's oil is now being essentially blockaded. If trump follows through with this blockade, soon a tanker will head through the strait sailing for China. We will stop it at gunpoint.
China then understands its economy is being held at gunpoint by Mr Trump.
Does China pressure Iran to sign a deal and open the strait? Or does China send its blue fleet to Hormuz?
Or both?
and every asian country that was formerly allied with us is no longer on our side. They will say 'we don't like China much, but they never cut off our oil. We are team Beijing now.'
Unending hurt to this nation.
This is a massive escalation.
Most likely (?): We stop Iranian ships. We do NOT stop Chinese ships. Perhaps we also stop ships from some other countries.

what planet are you people on? they haven't sworn off tolls and violence. all we did is say we will stop the boats that pay iran. as i understand it, boats paying ~$2 million can get through. this just eliminates that exception. that just wiggles the cork deeper in the bottle.
ICE is back in minneapolis. Somalians have an average IQ of 67, it's no wonder so many are living off benefits without jobs. Shame. They have to go back.
🚨BREAKING: ICE is hitting Minnesota hard — armed raids on Somali-heavy properties. The Somali deportation surge has officially begun.
Do you support deporting all illegals and all Somalians ?
trump absolutely cannot understand why 'he who has the most guns does not always win.'
trump has no concept of soft power, valuable cards held by the opposition, or that not everyone is motivated by getting dollars.
this is why we do not make businessmen president. He is absolutely clueless on how to do the job.
Worst president ever.
Adding insult to injury. Trump can't connect events from day to day. He simply does not understand why he can't threaten to invade countries one day and then the next day they don't want to go to war with us. He can threaten to exterminate a civilization but the next day they won't do a deal with him.
I think that’s too kind. It’s not about memory or understanding. It’s about him being the quintessential selfish bully. “I do whatever I want whenever I want, and you KEEP kissing my as*.”
That continues to work PERFECTLY with his party, and 40-45% of America. It’s GREAT to watch it NOT work with much of the rest of the world.
also, i don't think some of you are well versed enough to realize that the problems at this point include insurance and convincing people it's safe enough to risk their ship. you have to be willing to risk your boat through drones and missiles and the US navy right now. if they sink my boat, there goes decades of trips that boat was going to make for me to repay the purchase price and make me profit.
normal insurance doesn't cover missiles and drones. war insurance does cover them but pays for the boat and the oil but not the future use of the boat. and war insurance premiums have rocketed up. trump's offer of insurance merely replicates war insurance.
so it's not just "iran is stopping me," it's "my boat will sit this one out until it's safe." upping the confrontation in the strait doesn't actually solve that.

👆conversation between people who have not read the book. Which equates to complete nonsense.
Reliable internet rumor: Nuclear was NOT the sticking point. It was, in fact, Iran’s disgust with the eye liner.
JD’s Pakistan trip went as well as his Greenland trip.
That's what I said earlier. Trump should have sent Rubio. There is no way Pakistanis or Iranians are going to listen to some cross-dresser guy. Their Hezbollic religion won't let them. Sending JD Vance (nee' Hamels) was like serving BLTs for lunch.
Regular eye liner >>> Possibly just one-day dress wearing to please the godless dark-skinned in-laws.
The religious fanatics in Tehran CAN be flexible, but eye liner is a red line. MAYBE if he can grow out the beard more they’ll reconsider it….but I doubt it.
You should see the money Honey's face when Trump says this...
All these people that have been symping for Trump are having a come to Jesus moment...
Trump: "I was thinking about calling it the Gulf of Trump, and I decided not to do it. I think that one maybe wouldn't have worked out. I'm not so sure. But I was thinking about it's gonna be called the Gulf of Trump."
Waiting for Trump to rename the Earth to Trump and paint it gold.
And this is why we have ‘no kings’ marches. So one man under the sway of a foreign country cannot take us to war without congress’ approval.
Two protests yesterday. Still zero Soros cash. Sigh.
are you hungarian or russian? i figured out long ago soros is unpopular with right wing hungarians, because he is hungarian and wants the dictatorship dismantled, and to the extent those memes have spread here they are mimicking hungarian and russian social media.
