President Donald Trump says the U.S. Navy will immediately begin a blockade of ships entering or leaving the Strait of Hormuz.

The president added that he has “instructed our Navy to seek and interdict every vessel in International Waters that has paid a toll to Iran. No one who pays an illegal toll will have safe passage on the high seas.”

      If they thought of it 5 weeks ago, maybe that wouldn’t be as terrible idea.

      Same with providing the insurance coverage right away, so ships wouldn’t stop the movement.

      But we are dealing with geniuses here. I mean trump’s uncle was in MIT so obviously trump has to be smart. /s
