Today’s quote comes to us from President Trump, via his website, truthsocial.com. It is in the form of a message to our (at least on paper) allies, who sat back and watched us deimate Iran without bothering to get involved.
Says Mr. Trump:
“All of those countries that can’t get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion for you: Number 1, buy from the U.S., we have plenty, and Number 2, build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT. You’ll have to start learning how to fight for yourself, the U.S.A. won’t be there to help you anymore, just like you weren’t there for us. Iran has been, essentially, decimated. The hard part is done. Go get your own oil!”
That is angry. Provocative. Antagonistic….
…and damn well true.
President Trump wins Quote Of The Day honors for saying, in so many words, what has to be said to our so-called allies.
The United States, I am sure, has no problem leading the fight. Our problem is fighting alone, as others sit back, watch, and reap all the benefits with none of the cost in human life, equipment or money.
