If you told me in 2021 after J6 that one day Trump would have a $1.776 billion slush fund of taxpayer $$ to hand out to his fellow insurrectionists who committed a heinous crime against America, I wouldn’t have believed it. But the story of Trump has always been a crime story with many accomplices.

Trump’s Iran war summary: 13 Americans killed and more than 500 wounded, 1,600 Iranian civilians killed, $45 billion in our tax dollars spent and what did Trump get is return? The Strait of Hormuz that was 100% open before Trump’s war—and was only closed because of Trump’s attacks--is back open.

Just wanted to remind folks, especially the GOP and the FDD, that Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal didn’t give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz or allow it to keep 60% enriched uranium. It sent $1.7 billion to Iran versus the tens of billions Iran will now make from tolls. 🤷🏽‍♂️
