President Trump said Friday that he plans to declare the Strait of Hormuz “a territory of the United States” after the Iran war.
“After we finish defeating Iran, which is being very badly defeated — pretty soon I’ll be declaring the Hormuz Strait a territory of the United States,” Trump said during a Long Island rally for Republican candidates in the gubernatorial and congressional elections.
Trump’s preliminary peace deal with Iran — signed June 17 — fell apart last month after Iran attempted to assert control over the strait, including by opening fire on commercial ships that used a sea lane preferred by the US.

MARK MY WORDS both Hillary/Soros (now Huma/Alex) and Iran will have their revenge...TRUMP'S FAULT!!
You can put gold plating on a PIG, but it's still a PIG!!
dude’s a joke
I know what it was like firsthand from my FIL who served on the USS Chester during WWII. He told me many stories and none of them were of people jumping ship. Idiots that believe it is happening now should stop wasting our oxygen.
99% of what Trump says concerning Iran is not for domestic consumption. He is trolling Iran and TDSers are caught.
Iran would have surrendered months ago if Europe would have supported the US efforts to keep Europe’s oil lanes open. Instead, they let the US and Israel fight it alone. So the only thing keeping the IRGC hopes going is that they can outlast Trump and believe Europe is OK paying a ransom to get their oil..
He didn't claim it. He declared it.
Trump is playing a game that Iran and Muslims tend to play of setting out absurd maximalist demands as bargaining points to shape negotiations their way. The logical compromise is now that Iran and the US both relinquish their territorial claims and agree that the Strait is international waters.
He also said he used to be married to Morgan Fairchild..
Will she be asking for alimony?
That’s hilarious. Trolling....
So now we are taking over bodies of water? What does Oman think about us taking over their passage?
I wish Trump wouldn’t say crap like this.
Won’t some people mix up the Strait of America with the Gulf of America?
Who needs the MSM? We have enough right here on FR.
Usual suspects “triggered” on FR.
Nobody trolls like Trump. 😉
My impression too. Pity that more poeople con’t understand his sense of humor.
Makin’ our AIs hurt, L!
No-bo-dy!
HT: Warner Wolf
I haven’t heard anybody troll the left this hard since Limbaugh passed away. He knows just the thing to say that’ll get the anthill seething in impotent rage.
SIMPLY DELICIOUS.
What’s dismaying is all the rightoid pretenders who respond as if he was being serious.
BACK! BACK YE KNAVES! GET THEE TO A COUNTRY CLUB!
BACK, I SAY! BACK TO YOUR GIN AND TONIC! BACK!
