Schrödinger's Strait - Trump Thread #162A

The Strait of Schrödinger remains open and closed, safe and dangerous, insurable and uninsurable, blockaded and free.

"You put your tanker in, you put your tanker out
In, out, in, out, you sail it all about
You do the Straits of Hormuz and you turn around
That’s what it’s all about!"

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

Got overwhelmed by the 🍊💩's idiot fuckery last time and missed out thread #161 so have designated this one as fake #162...A

Oh boy! Even Melania was cringing.
The conversation between Charles and Camilla afterwards. 😆

Well, he's got form for this hasn't he?

Did it at Windsor State Visit to Her Maj QE in 2018(?) and again at Windsor last year with Charles?

Has anyone checked if KC3 added something to the gift denoting -end?

Spandauer · 29/04/2026 08:44

Just seen Charles' gift of the gold/brass bell from HMS Trump to His Ineffable Hugeness 🔔

Any bets on if, when and where it might appear in the pimped up Oval Office?

KC and QC are off to NYC today and visiting the 9/11 Memorial.

Still not clear whether they will meet Mayor Mandami or not.

Surely they've had enough of Repugs and it's time for a bit of 'fresh' air?

dapsnotplimsolls · 29/04/2026 09:16

I hope they will, Trump will hate it 😊

Spandauer · 29/04/2026 09:23

Apologies spelt Mayor's name incorrectly.

Mayor Mamdani

Maybe he's got indigestion from the State dinner?

President Donald Trump told his aides to prepare for an extended US Naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, the Wall Street Journal reported, as the US looks to intensify economic pressure on Iran as the war enters its third month.
The president, in meetings with top aides, decided to continue putting pressure on Iran’s ability to export oil by stopping any vessel heading to or from the Islamic Republic's ports, the newspaper reported on Tuesday night. Trump determined that was a less risky option than resuming bombing or extracting the US from the conflict entirely, the outlet said.
The decision suggests that the US could be moving into a lengthy period with the fighting largely halted, but no durable resolution to the conflict, and the status of traffic through the Strait of Hormuz still uncertain.
