He's running the US like a business... A racketeering business. And he would like you to cheer and clap.
US taking its mask off:
I don't think the idiot in chief has looked at how much of the defense budget he's using up with this action. A couple of ships full of oil don't make up for that.
Trump and his oligarch enablers couldn't care less about how much taxpayer money they are wasting, as long as their private companies are profiting and they can pocket that money.
Even better. If - and only if - there will be fair elections ever again, it’s a Dem problem. “gosh darn look at the deficit these lefties have lololol”
Isnt state sanctioned piracy called privateering?
It is when non state actors are doing it. IE private actors.
When done by state resources it's just a war crime.
Ahhh yes. Thanks for the precision!
The quote marks in the title are better suited for the word 'acting'.
