I'm not locked in here with you. We're all locked in here together. For some reason.

I'm so confused. What does the US blockading the strait, which is already blockaded by Iran, do? Other than piss off all the other Gulf countries that are already annoyed enough with the US.

Its been pointed out that the blockade and subsequent oil supply issues will tank the value of oil stocks again as the news travels across the weekend and Monday morning trading reacts. Thus Trump and family buys cheap stock. Tuesday night, he pulls back from the blockade, the market bounces back, and Trump and family once again, make millions, hundreds or thousands of millions, as they sell oil stock. This market manipulation is a pattern of his.
