"Fox News: You said hundreds of super tankers are headed to the Gulf of America to buy oil and gas from the US. What can you tell us about that?
Trump: Well, I can tell you that it used to be called the Gulf of Mexico. Now it's called the Gulf of America because of me. One of my little sidelines. People are so happy. I must tell you, I was thinking about calling it the Gulf of Trump."

Hopefully, Israel does not start up attacks on Iran again. Just saying.

The big question is what should I buy or sell for the market opening Monday?
Isn't that what this is all about?

~ 1 hr, 39 mins ago Donald Trump will be the first POTUS in history to start a war and lose it.
 
@skutfarcus : What about the Vietnam war? Both were started without the approval of Congress.

@MadScientist :
The Vietnam war had already been going on for years prior to our involvement. We took over for the French.

@Mahkno : Fair enough, but I think the "pushed" Gulf of Tonkin incident really cemented our involvement under LBJ in '64.

@skutfarcus : Sometimes I think "Trump can't really be that stupid." And then I realize, YES, yes he is.

There is some talent in Iran with the Lego themed videos they are putting out. I find them hilarious. The text at the end about recklessness true.

Unrelated to the above. The war could bring this result:
 
Before:
Straight of Hormuz was open.
Iran was in agreement to not make nuclear weapons.
They were building lots of missiles.
 
After, this is potentially the result:
Straight of Hormuz charges taxes on non allied shipping, or closes shipping completely to some countries.
Iran no longer in agreement to not have nuclear weapons, but still Shaheed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had issued a fatwa against building nuclear weapons.
Billions will be spent to produce more replacement interceptor missiles.
More oil being sold for other currencies other than USD. High oil prices are good for the USA, but only if Dollars are used to buy it.

Did Trump claim that troops rebuilt three helicopters during rescue?
 
"AI Overview
Yes, according to reports in April 2026, Donald Trump claimed that U.S. military personnel reassembled helicopters in less than 10 minutes during a rescue mission in Iran.
 
The Claim: Trump stated, "They rebuilt these helicopters in less than 10 minutes-all three of them," calling it an amazing feat.
Context: He was describing the rescue of crew members from a downed F-15E Strike Eagle, mentioning that MH-6 Little Bird helicopters were transported inside larger aircraft and assembled by operators upon offloading.
Details: He lauded this action during a discussion on the military operation, which he described as "very historic".
Please, tell me again about Biden's 'dementia'.

This Pakistani general said negotiations were "an inch away" from being a deal.
 
From Fox News, so see if you believe some of it.

@skutfarcus : Incredible. The rotors fold out by design and need to be locked into position once removed from the C-130. But, but Biden was old.
