There was no M.O.U but a M.O.M [ Memorandum Of Misunderstanding] 🤣🤣

Hilarious trump now wants to charge the countries that are being targeted by Iran for holding American assets for the privilege of his and Netanyahu's illegal war.

It gets more ridiculous every day!

I say them countries kick out the American assets and stop getting targeted, logical I think¿
@
So America is going to set out on another campaign of death and destruction to avoid admitting that the most stunningly stupid president we have ever seen made a monumental mistake. Now we all, the rest of the world, has to suffer. "WAR, WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR? ABSOLUTELY NOTHIN!" say it again and again and again.......LIstening to this Mark Montgomery makes me feel sick.....hes loving it.
@
Why is Iran accepted as the rogue nation when the US started the war while negotiations were on going? It is an illegal war started by the US.

I want to say this is getting embarrassing, but we passed that goalpost about 17 ceasefire U-turns ago.

He’s a complete embarrassment and a liability to the whole world. He needs to be removed immediately.

Why is anyone still reporting on that orange narcissistic sociopathic moron! He will change his mind tomorrow. Stand reporting on who he is, not what he is doing because nothing he does makes sense except to trumps ego and finances.
@
The Iranians are happy to keep the Americans in quicksand for as long as possible. They are burning through billions of dollars and enormous amounts of hard-to-replace weapons achieving very little. That suits Iran fine. If the US wants to burn even more billions chasing ships across the Indian ocean - that's good, too.
@
Just imagine if Russia blocked the same Strait, and insisted on 20% access/egress fee...😅
@
Trump's the captain of a clownboat sailing on an algae filled pool.
@
Trump had a dream that he owned Hormuz, and he is charging tolls from the passing ships, but it was just a dream only
@
America is showing it's true colours, now the whole world can see who are terrorists , pirates , thieves and gangsters.
@
The Americans launched this stupid war while the starit of hormuz was open. Now that they achieved nothing they want to bomb their their way out of their failure. These people have been bullies for such a long time that they are just deranged.
@
Who is this guy to call Iran a rogue regime and not the United States? What has Iran done that the USA hasn’t done 10x worse?

25:19 the utter arrogance of these Americans to call Iran a "rogue regime" when their own country started the war is beyond belief. Filled with such arrogance and pride.

the moron in chief does it again - what a tool
@
Trump literally does not even know what day it is. He doesn't even know where Iran is. And the problem with the Memorandum of Understanding is that he doesn't know what either the word Memorandum or Understanding means.
