President Trump on Wednesday said he is considering the formation of a “joint venture” with Iran to set up tolls in the Strait of Hormuz after the Trump administration and Tehran agreed to a two-week ceasefire deal.

The president also suggested Monday that the U.S. could impose its own tolls on vessels trying to transit through the channel. Leaders in Tehran signaled last week it would install a “toll booth” system to exert a price on ships seeking safe passage through the strait.
Lmao Trump sees an opportunity to swindle and is all over it. Art of the deal!
Art of the steal
Hamberder meal!
You won’t be saying that when your toll checks start coming in about 2 weeks from now! /s
I know you are kidding, but if a monthly toll dividend payment went out to taxpayers even for a pittance, lots of folks would probably cheer the conquest happily.
lol this was a plot of a Futurama episode
I know the man is just throwing mud at the wall to see what sticks, but the whiplash from “civilizational erasure” and “back to the Stone Ages” to “buddy-buddy halfsies on illegal tolls” is a little much.
How brain is mush, and he started out with a bottom tier brain.
But his uncle was a top scientist at Harvard! /s
Wants his cut.
This strait dictates world economy? Of course trump wants to install a toll booth there with the money going straight to him and his cronies
All that after a war with Iran, of course
Deluded dipshit
The bigger irony of this is that a Trump actually doing this would further turn the world away from the US. If it was just Iran imposing the toll, over time the international community would sour on Iran for not moving past the war. This would economically benefit the US more than any direct cashflow from a toll ever would, as it would stabilize devestment from America. Now nobody will ever blame Iran for the toll, solidifying the loss in American soft power forever.
I don’t think it would be between the US and Iran, but rather a Trump-Iran joint venture. You know, to further compensate for his hard work.
Iran ain’t agreeing to that. It’ll just be Trump imposing a toll immediately after ships leave the strait.
WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON AROUND HERE? DID A SATIRE WRITER GET PROMOTED TO WRITING REAL LIFE? SOMEBODY MAKE LIKE SHE-HULK AND GO YELL AT THE PRODUCER OF THIS SHITSHOW REALITY!
God, what an idiot.
A carbon tax?! Demented Don the climate warrior!
Iran: “Nah.”
Imagine what you do is so criminal the USA wants to join in 😂😂😂
If Iran is sharing toll money with anyone, its China.
these was a guy in the comments 2-4 Weeks ago, who was already calling for that being the whole reason of the war. Trump and his lackeys are really executing the biggest grift in history. And the World only watches.
With Iran beging a close russian ally and the Trump administration the same (looking at Vance in Hungary), i dont think its too far fetched, that the whole pupeteer all along has been the Kremlin, achieving multiple goals at the same time. most importantly achieving financing for the continuation oft their Ukraine war.
here’s a joint venture idea to Trump: your goal is to fuck off as much as you can with your buddy Israel, and Iran does the toll collecting. Iran get benefits from tolls, and you get benefits by stabilising gas prices over time.
lol dumpy swindling? SAY IT ISN’T SO!
A collective “Fuck you, sit down and shut up” to Mr. Pedo would be nice.
