Not just blocking it...

He says "free and open" then demands 20% of every shipment to go thru what used to cost them 0%

That's absolutely insane if this isn't another stupid fake tweet, I don't know why idiots keep making those, trump says enough crazy shit himself.

Edit:

It's real

And it's gonna piss off literally every country on the planet

Note that this isn't phrased as "the proceeds of that cargo", or the value. We're just doing Dear Leader's favorite new pastime of piracy.

Yep, he is making a pretty good money on inside trading

🤣 amazing, they thought the toll was a great idea

So basically its closed then. I mean the last time they tried to escort ships they had to stop cause uh... reasons. Reasons definitely not related to ships getting shot with drones and missiles. Also who's going to pay America to get their ships shot up as part of a failed show of force?

If conservatives/regressives had functional brains they'd be so ashamed.
