    All they’d have to do is call it the Trump Peace Tariff and wire him a cut of it and he’d let them set it as high as they want.

      Holy shit you are right. Do you think if they gave him a big enough direct cut they might even beat Israel for his love?

        I doubt it. I think Trump has a special humiliation fetish when it comes to Israel.

        That and put his name on something. He’d call them “best friends” then.

        With 20 million barrels of oil going through the straight daily, there’s certainly be plenty of grift to go around if Trump somehow got them to allocate fees to his knockoff UN in the name of ‘peace’.

        The amount of grift in the military industrial complex and the value of arms shipments to Israel likely outpaces what he’d realistically get out of Iran. Regardless of the outcome of the war, oil profits and arms shipments are up, and Trump is undoubtedly getting kickbacks from it.
