Donald Trump Wants American Taxpayers to Insure Oil Tankers

Donald Trump posted on social media that the hardworking American taxpayer would provide insurance and pay for US naval escorts to protect oil tankers transiting the Strait of Hormuz after Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) declared the waterway was closed, their response to the illegal US and Israeli attack on the people of Iran.

Cheap insurance and an escort for which you will undoubtedly be charged.

No matter what disasters befall the American economy or whether there is a US government shutdown, the US Congress has ensured that nuclear-powered Israel, a wealthy country that offers world class universal healthcare for all its residents and has a pension plan superior to that of US social security, will continue to receive billions of dollars of American taxpayer funds uninterrupted.

Yup.

"Hey, Suckers and Losers, here's your tax bill! And still no universal healthcare for you losers!"

Trump's "leadership" tracks with how he ran his businesses-constant, inept bumbling f*&^ ups always trying to fix the previous inept bumbling f*&^ up while looking for every opportunity to skim some off the top.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, anyone who voted for this should never be allowed to vote ever again for a federal or state level candidate. They clearly lack the judgement necessary to responsibly exercise such a right.

Trump has stolen enough money over the last year. Why doesn't HE insure oil tankers?

Dummkopf Trumpf excels at one thing: getting OPM to pay for his misadventures, misdeeds, and misdemeanors.
