Wait for it?????

Oil prices have fallen dramatically in last 24 hrs or so, $30 to $40 a barrel. That’s a good thing!

But wait, what’s this Trump didn’t get the Strait of Hormuz open completely? Only a few ships were allowed to get thru before the Iranian government shut again?

That mind boggling!

Then there is this? Iran wants to charge a toll to pass thru the strait?

Trump says that’s fine as long as the US gets half of the toll? Heard that an ABC News’ clip.

Ain’t that fitting or rather funny? Trump started the war! Iran closed the strait then Iran wants to put a toll charge in the strait and Trump is vying for money off an illegitimate war he started?

Another mind boggling piece of this all!
