‘Trump, you magnificent bastard, I read your book!’
President Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent are facing mounting criticism for creating a window for Russia to sell oil and gas to the global market via “narrowly tailored, short-term” sanction relief. However, few people are putting the issue into context, and the background here is exceptionally interesting.
According to the terms announced by Secretary Bessent, the license to sell applies solely to Russian crude or petroleum products loaded onto vessels as of March 12 and is valid through midnight Washington time on April 11. [Treasury Notice Here – OFAC Technical Details Here]
[source]
The sanction relief license to sell will be done in globally recognized petrodollars and applies only to preexisting oil and petroleum products that are already in transit at sea. However, here’s where it gets very interesting and the ramifications are significant.
Immediately following the Alaska summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and President Trump, Russia restarted Arctic-2 LNG terminals and began increasing oil production for storage on ‘floating platforms.’ President Trump met with Putin on August 15, 2025, and the curious increase in Russian production began on August 18, 2025.
In the past six months Russia has been pumping sanctioned oil and gas and storing it on ships and mobile sea platforms, seemingly (at the time) with no customers. Suddenly, against the background of the Iran conflict, all of that previously stored ‘on the water‘ production, now worth double, is authorized for global sale (in petrodollars).
Either Russian President Putin is the luckiest guy in the world, or Russia knew something.
In 2025 what Russia did following the Alaska summit did not make sense; now it does and the ramifications are stunning.
President Trump was looking for a way to organize a strategic partnership with Russia on the issue of energy production but was hampered by the preexisting sanction regime and strong opposition from domestic and international politics.
The ‘coincidental’ timing’ of Trump meeting with Putin and then subsequently Russia producing massive amounts of oil and gas for storage on the water suddenly starts to take on an entirely new light. Did Putin know something was coming, something that would eventually make the Russian over production and ‘on the sea’ storage worth billions.
The implications here are quite remarkable; however, they simultaneously explain most of the behaviors since the Iran confrontation began.
Media reports highlight that Vladimir Putin was asked about a previous joint agreement for military support between Iran and Russia and why Russia did not respond when Iran was attacked. Foreknowledge would explain that reaction.
Additionally, the Russian Federation president never responded to the Trump operation to take down Venezuelan dictator Maduro and seize control over Venezuela’s oil production.
If there was some discussion inferring that a ‘limited sanction relief’ protocol might be possible, that would explain why Russia began storing oil and gas at sea.
This fact pattern would also indicate that President Trump’s decision toward Iran was made at least six months ago, with a set of geopolitical events planned between the Alaska summit and the eventual confrontation with Iran.
TIMELINE: Trump and Putin meet. Three days later Russia begins pumping oil/gas and storing it at sea. President Trump then triggers the Venezuela western hemisphere security operation; Russia stays silent. President Trump then triggers the confrontation with Iran; Russia rejects involvement. And then two weeks after the Iran confrontation begins, Trump removes sanctions on Russian oil/gas “in transit” at sea.
Suddenly all of the Russian produced and stored product ‘on the water’ has greater value and new customers.
Just a coincidence? No way.
The United States needs the oil/gas market stability that Russia can provide.
Venezuela was/is to Trump as Ukraine was/is to Putin.
We’ll keep watching.
Enjoy the rest of your day.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Perfect example of a Leader with Long Term Vision.
Trump doesn’t just SEE the future, he MAKES it happen.
Excellent leaders mold their world into their vision for the future. PDJT is such an exceptional leader.
That’s what makes the liberals/democrats heads explodes. Trump the brilliant leader that can make things happen the way he wants them to happen. They cannot stand that he is a business man, a leader and not one of their own crooked politicians that is only interested in lining their own pockets.
And, even collectively, they’re still low IQ.
For decades we have been led to believe that our President was just a paperwork signer and the presidency is a ceremonial position. That is what The Machine wanted.
PDJT is destroying The Machine.
I guess that’s what real “Leaders” do. They may lead us down paths we might not always like but, taking chances and making deals for the future benefit of his/her constituents is an example that. not everyone is meant to be a leader. It takes a certain amount of skill and innate talents to lead. I am glad that President Trump is in his strength role and is
making decisions for us.
For the entire history of the United States we have had very few political leaders who had the combined traits of knowledge, wisdom, integrity and vision. President Trump is on that short list.
And by the way, although he’s not a politician, Sundance combines those same traits.
God bless President Trump and Sundance!
It is quite something to behold, when one sits back and just takes it ALL in.
Faith in The Lord means also having trust in His choices of individuals, summoned to do His works. 😉😇
In His way, in His time.
<And by the way, although he’s not a politician, Sundance combines those same traits.>
A double compliment intended or not! And President Trump is not a politician at least in the usual sense.
“A good politician is quite as unthinkable as an honest burglar.”
― H.L. Mencken
Woah? You mean DaNang Dick was not consulted? The Connecticut communists are outraged!
Wasn’t Poppy Bush, arguably the godfather of globalism, a “Connecticut” communist before he barged into Texas to continue his sordid (some might even say treasonous) career path?
There is much trust between Putin and Trump. PDJT entrusted Russia with advance knowledge and obviously Putin agreed with the plan and very importantly, Putin didn’t tip off Venezuela or Iran. We have a new alliance.
The globalists’ jaws just dropped open. Amen.
Now we just have to dispense with the uniparty.
The SAVE Act is kryptonite.
Most importantly, The SAVE AMERICA Act.
Kryptonite is a good description Baileysdad. From your lips to God’s ear.
Easier said than done! But with PDJT and God, all things are possible!
Amen to that!
This is very reassuring indeed.
Fantastic reporting, SD!!!
I regret that I have only one upvote to give.

LOVE THIS!
That’s one of the burdens of not being an illegal alien or Demorat!
Bwahahaha!!!!
Putin, he very smart reader…
While I cannot imagine PDJT giving Putin any information about plans ahead of time, a simple non-denial of a claim or question by Putin could speak loudly under certain circumstances. Putin certainly has his own sources of information.
And motives… as in: Russia First…AKA Make Russia Great Again…
Putin did not have to know THE plan. He did not need to know THE dates and times.
“ If there was some discussion inferring that a ‘limited sanction relief’ protocol might be possible, that would explain why Russia began storing oil and gas at sea.”
Being a smart man, Putin could put those (and other) pieces together in real time of this massively! mutually beneficial deal.
Magnificent Bastard indeed!!!
This☝️.
Yes. They may have talked in hypotheticals.
“If Iran continues to do ‘X’ then the US will be forced to do ‘Y’. That will probably disrupt the oil/gas markets. Gosh, if only you, Russia, had a way to put your product out on the water in containers to be ready to fill in the gaps in the market. We, the USA, could allow that to be non-sanctioned. Of course, this is hypothetical.”
‘Trump, you magnificent bastard, I read your book!’
Before any readers become indignant and un-receptive to the argument…..
General George S. Patton’s most famous quote about Erwin Rommel is:
“Rommel, you magnificent bastard, I read your book!”
[It is my long held opinion that one of the greatest differentiating attributes of President Trump is that as opposed to the vast majority of men he is an original thinker.]
“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, and intolerable…”
― H.L. Mencken, Prejudices: Third Series
I love me some “Patton in the morning”….
General George S. Patton once stated in a speech that the path through Europe of the 19 Tactical Army Air Force, the 8th Army Air Force and the 3rd US Army is littered with 40,000 white crosses.
Let that sink in, 40,000 white crosses, a debt the EU seemingly ignores today.
Of course they ignore it. And supposedly the history books used in French schools stated Charles de Gaulle and the free French liberated France at the conclusion of WW2. No mention whatsoever of D-Day and Americans.
If I remember history correctly, de Gaulle wanted to enter Paris first. Europe was always the same – trash. NATO needs to end. Let the Eurotrash solve their own problems, which are many.
EU doesn’t merely “ignore” our 40,000 white crosses covering their lands.. they arrogantly demand a continuation of same.
Sorry, not sorry to disappoint ya there, EUgreenies. You and your *greedy* globalist overlords are on your own now.
Let’s see what happens.
Great clip. I believe that the narrator is the great Ronald Reagan.
I think you are correct.
Yet, Patton did not care to drink a toast to the defeat of Germany with the Russian general.
It was a significantly different Russia in those days…
Indeed it was. Now, as SD has written on several occasions, Russia is doing well and Russians are happy in their daily lives.
Most importantly, the Russians are hanging on dearly to their own national sovereignty, just as we Americans (well MOST Americans) proudly celebrate the 250th anniversary of our own nation’s independence. Simultaneously, the global enemy of all free nations bears down hard on both the USA and Russia, via Ukraine.
Globalists bent on world domination need to knock *both* Superpowers out of the box. This is truly a case of “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.”
Patton supposedly was ready to keep going all the way to Moscow to eliminate Communism, or at least keep it in Russia and away from the rest of Eastern Europe.
Roosevelt/Truman wanted nothing to do with the idea.
Aggiegirl, when I opened the video I immediately thought of the Aggie Band. Then I finally figured it out. Next time, give credits, please. Thank you.
As an ole Tea Sip with both Aggie daddy & uncle, I recognized the Band immediately!
Thank you for sharing that. It brings tears to my eyes as I recall how God has blessed our nation with great leaders such as General Payton and President Trump !
Patton not Payton.
When I read the line that Sundance led with I immediately thought of George C. Scott saying the line in his movie portrayal of General Patton.
Outstanding!
HL Mencken, fabulous! He was a half blind leftist drunk but a brilliant man.
via Alyosha…an energy trader:
The key to ending this war for both sides is cash flow from the proceeds of oil. If the Strait of Hormuz stays shut Iran has a form of plenary power. If the Strait is open, Iran must negotiate. Although this is imperfect I think it will work:
A public announcement (via the White House or US Treasury):
The United States will not tolerate Iran’s illegal blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, which is starving global markets of energy and punishing innocent nations. Therefore,we announce the following interim measure to restore a partial or completely free flow of oil shipments to protect our allies and global economies:
The case for action:
Iranian crude exports continue to pass through the Strait at a notable pace of 1 to 1.5 million bpd via a handful of sanctioned VLCCs (Reuters). Total Iranian exports since February 27 are reported at 11.7–16.5 million barrels, mostly heading to China via the strait (CNBC).
If Iran decides to respond to this initiative by hermetically sealing the Strait, including a blockade on Iranian ships, it would be economic suicide for Tehran and the single fastest way to break the current stalemate. Iran is still quietly slipping 1 or 2 VLCCs through the strait every day. Those exports have delivered an estimated 16+ million barrels since the war started. It’s the only real cash flow they have left.
A total self-blockade would mean no hard money for imports, public subsidies, and military salaries. Inflation, already 50%, would spontaneously hyperinflate. The regime knows from 2019 and 2022 what zero cash flow does to street protests.
The solution is to say,“Iran can control whoever passes through the strait, but the US Navy will redirect those ships.”
Alternatively, if necessary, the US can opt to seal the strait unilaterally and cut off all cash flow to Tehran. The GCC nations have deeper reserves to weather several weeks of pain than Tehran, especially if the US, GCC, and their allies bring all conceivable pressure to bear on Iran to return to the table.
This is an asymmetric idea… that flips Iran’s physical chokehold into legal wartime interdiction without sending US warships into a kill zone that is prolonging a lethal stalemate.

This is a draft of a formal regulatory notice from the Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).
In the context of the 2026 energy crisis, such a document would serve as the legal “tripwire” for the Compensated Redirection Mechanism (CRM).
It is written to balance the language of international maritime law with the aggressive economic posture you described.
DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC)
Implementation of the Compensated Redirection Mechanism (CRM) for the Stabilization of Global Energy Markets
ADVISORY NOTICE: 2026-CRM-001
DATE: March 13, 2026
I. OVERVIEWThe U.S. Government, in coordination with the Department of Defense and the Department of State, hereby establishes the Compensated Redirection Mechanism (CRM). This emergency measure responds to the ongoing illegal blockade and kinetic interference with non-combatant commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
To prevent global economic destabilization and ensure the flow of energy to neutral nations, the United States will exercise its authority to interdict, verify, and redirect petroleum products exiting the Strait of Hormuz into the Gulf of Oman.
II. SCOPE OF OPERATIONSEffective immediately, all vessels carrying crude oil, condensate, or refined petroleum products exiting the eastern terminus of the Strait of Hormuz (defined as the area east of $26^{\circ} 34′ N, 56^{\circ} 32′ E$) are subject to the following:
Mandatory Verification: All outbound tankers must submit to boarding and cargo verification by the U.S. Maritime Task Force – Stabilization (MTF-S).Compensated Acquisition: For cargoes identified as originating from high-risk or sanctioned jurisdictions, or those moving under “shadow fleet” protocols without adequate insurance, the U.S. Treasury will exercise Wartime Purchase Authority.Title Transfer: Upon boarding and verification of cargo volume, legal title to the cargo shall be transferred to the Global Energy Stabilization Fund (GESF).III. THE COMPENSATION SCHEDULETo ensure no financial loss to bona fide neutral shipowners or legitimate commercial entities, the U.S. Treasury shall provide:
Prompt Payment: Payment will be wired in U.S. Dollars (USD) to verified escrow accounts within 48 hours of cargo verification.Valuation: Compensation will be calculated at the Prevailing Spot-Market Price (e.g., Brent or WTI benchmarks) as of the time of boarding, plus a 2% “Disruption Premium” to cover fuel and crew delays.Exclusion: Funds will be withheld from entities directly affiliated with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) or sanctioned terrorist organizations. These funds will instead be placed in a non-interest-bearing restricted account pending final diplomatic resolution.IV. REDIRECTION AND HUMANITARIAN DISTRIBUTIONThe United States explicitly disclaims any intent to retain redirected petroleum for domestic strategic reserves. All redirected volumes will be:
Resold at Cost to designated “High-Need Partners” (Allied nations experiencing critical energy shortages).Auctioned to global markets to maintain a price ceiling and negate the “war premium” currently funding regional aggression.V. ENFORCEMENT AND NON-COMPLIANCEVessels attempting to bypass MTF-S verification or utilizing “dark” transponder maneuvers will be deemed Hostile Economic Actors. Such vessels may be subject to:
Physical interdiction.Permanent seizure under Civil Asset Forfeiture without compensation.Permanent de-flagging and exclusion from the U.S. financial system.
Signed,
Acting Director, Office of Foreign Assets Control
U.S. Department of the Treasury
“Iran can control whoever passes through the strait, but the US Navy will redirect those ships.”… this sounds expensive… and not temporary.
IF the U.S. doesn’t kill and/or scatter to the wind 150K IRGC and its supporting political/ideological scaffolding, then Tehran will have indefinite control over who gets through and who doesn’t. It’s not just Iranian ships getting through now… “friendlies” are being let through as well. If Tehran maintains control of The Strait, then you need a long term solution… “temporary”, and “emergency” are not good enough. A basic ragtag Iran Proxy shut it down with some rockets before… an empowered Iran will be 100x worse. Inevitably, other countries will negotiate directly with Iran for passage rights… more empowerment… more and lengthier long-term solutions required… i.e. permanent and substantial U.S. Navy involvement. I’m sure the French and Italians will pitch in with their two or three destroyers… if even that… maybe Norway will send a fishing vessel for good measure.
The U.S. can also simply erase Kargh Island. That is 94% of Iran’s oil exports destroyed.
Seize Kharg Island and charge Iran a fee for every barrel exported.
A blockade would be optimal. No oil ships out and no cash flows in. No cash means the Iranian citizens will rise up against the Shites. A new government would then have an instant cash flow, once this conflict is over. That may already be the plan. We’re about 8 months behind on knowing what is planned next.
These are very amazing days we are living.
Amazing.
Russia, Persia and Turkey.
Well, either these 2 men are clairvoyant or they understand one another on a level not achieved by most.

There are two things about a strategic arrangement between Russia and the US that are an advantage. First that China’s influence is weakened, second is that the influence of the internal communists in the three letter agencies is weakened. You can see why they dislike Trump so much.

This explains the media’s desperate Russia, Russia, Russia providing intelligence to Iran.
America fighting alongside the Jews instead of funding the nazis, again!
More winning please.
All the pieces fit brilliantly except that I don’t agree that “Venezuela is/was to Trump as Ukraine was/is to Putin.”
Venezuela is a prime example of MAGA-politics: If you like your commie, you can keep your commie, but you’re going to do things our way.
Edit: The bigger game has always been about China.
The parallel is that pre-intervention, Venezuela was a proxy for China & Iran. Right in our backyard.
Just like Ukraine was/is a proxy for the EU/US. Right on Russia’s porch.
I agree. Venezuela was a pawn of China, as was Panama transit control. This allows China to have access to Gulf of America oil reserves. People forget that China had been making moves to acquire oil extraction firms in the Gulf/Carribbean, which is a total “drink your milkshake” move.

Russia, while sanctioned, is a bottled economy. But they have been able to form alliances with other “shunned” nations like Iran and China, to the detriment of Russia. Putin is smart enough to see an alliance with China will only put Russian industry out of business, like it has done everywhere else in the world.
Trump is extending a branch back into the premium global markets bypassing the EU progressives. The elites need Russia to be the bogeyman to hide their grifting / controlled markets (which is what Ukraine was all about). A US/Russia alliance flips the table on control of energy, and eliminates the terror from Iran in the process. All of this will bypass the mega banks of London/Switzerland, which we can see from the whole shipping insurance mess is also not the physical power it used to be.
P.T.Barnum’s handlers are going to blow a fuse.
This is going to be fun watching their reaction.
To me, it means the Ukraine war will be drawing down.
Don’t forget to watch Cuba!
Yes!
This is great news! As someone who has supported PDJT for years, I was beginning to lose heart.
Watching the stock market sink like a rock on a daily basis has not been good for this super-senior’s mental health.
I understand that Wall Street absolutely would love to see a financial bloodbath sink our President, but this overreaction has been very stressful. Now we should start to see some relief.
Wall Street loves to try to manipulate public opinion and can do so only on a temporary basis. They will gain if anyone flinches and sells during the low. Eventually the strong economic foundation prevails and the market rises again through the smoke. Play the long game, not the short game. The USA is getting stronger by the day, in spite of these short term dips caused by the Wall Street trading algorithms.
I would love to play the “long game,” but at my age there is no such thing. I have one shaky, arthritic foot on the earth and one on a banana peel.
At our age, we remain calm.
It always comes back. Keith Fitzgerald, who frequently appears on Fox Biz has an excellent time table showing how much the market has bounced back following wars and disruptive events.
Yes.
What I’ve seen over the last 40 years is this:
Wall Street post new gains, 7,000 people get laid off, and various communities die.
The radio, TV stations, papers all trumpet Wall Streets tremendous gains, and have
hourly reports on broadcast stations to everyone listening. 70+ percent of whom don’t
give a rats ass, or have had their finances decimated due to “downsizing”.
The point? Wall Streets numbers zoom, our quality of life tanks. Yes, we still need
Wall Street/ investments, but if the dust settles from what’s currently occurring, then
organized information needs to start going out about Sundance’s Wall Street vs Main
Street writings, including the Florida interstate analogy. How the rest of America is
off 1-75 north vs the East Coast interstate that links the true money.
“Watching the stock market sink like a rock on a daily basis has not been good for this super-senior’s mental health.”
Don’t watch the stock market. In times like these, you have two factors: 1.) jittery and fickle investors impatiently looking for “certainty” and “stability”, which doesn’t exist… and 2.) people “on the inside” of the machinery who know how to take advantage of the situation and make a crap ton of money.
Absolutely!!
Wall Street will be just fine.

Putin has to have a lot of trust in Trump if it all went down like this.
The UK and EU are going to experience ‘splody heads.!
The EU has cut Hungary’s access to oil and gas in order to coerce them into the globalist plans of the EU. Orban has been a staunch supporter of PDJT so look for Hungary to be thrown a lifeline of Russian energy in the very near future. Hungary is landlocked, another country will need to cooperate, perhaps even defect from the EU.
So, DJT knew in August 25, 2025, that Iran would spurn all diplomatic efforts and force him to go to war February 28, 2026?
Or, that *some* kind of oil crisis was forthcoming, and he advised Uncle Vlad that a floating oil reserve by Russia might prove fruitful?
Hmmm…..
Yes, PDJT knew Iran would never negotiate a nuclear deal. Never. Iran was counting on stalling just long enough to complete their goal of building nuclear weapons and then grabbing the Middle East by the balls. If anyone thinks that the current energy situation is bad, imagine what it would be like if Iran succeeded and had warheads at their fingertips.
Your brilliance Sundance never ceases to amaze me. You’re a gift to us all.
Perhaps this will also offset the $$ the EU took from Russia and gave to Ukraine to continue the war?
Exactly! 🎯
😂”Enjoy the rest of your day”.
Indeed I will. Still not tired of watching genius at work. Still not tired of winning with President Trump.
We get to watch 2 !!!
And some of our friends here at the treehouse !!!!
What an uplifting article and comments !!!!!
So maybe the strategy with Ukraine is to just starve Little Z of the attention and billions he craves while taking care of more important issues. While the EU and Canada lollygag around playing lefty politics, Trump and Putin are the adults in the room; China mostly sidelined while being squeezed into cooperation. I do hope and pray that the killing stops, and I wonder why Little Z has not been formally “toppled”. He’s the thorn in everyone’s side. There has to be a reason – I can’t hope to operate at the level of intelligence and sophistication that Trump does. Interesting times.
President Trump called Zman “PT Barnum”. At that point the game of footsy with Ukraine was clearly over.
That’s a good new word – lollygag! Suitably descriptive of everything our U.K. government do, too.
Let’s see. A US-Russia economic cooperation squeezes China, EU, and Z, and makes dems look bad for the mid-terms. Might be worth doing. And after selling what is stored on the sea, there will be room to store more.
Doesn’t it also require ME nations to help get Hormuz reopened quickly???
They want to get back to business too.
MAGA FABULOUS!!!
Putin understood at PresidentTrump’s start that he had to shore up his own best reserves, OIL, no matter Trump’s future 4 years’ plans.
He was correct.
Criticism from who. Democrats? The media? RINOs? Ignore it.
Looks like everyone is tired of the Mulla BS…..
NO MERCY!
And if heaven help Starmer and Zelensky if Storm Shadow missiles are unleashed against Russian energy infrastructure. Would not put it past either of those two to try and mess this up.
Its a shame we have to treat Russia as we do. Not saying their innocent but actually who is. Have a feeling if the same complainers lived in Russia, they’d be saying the same thing about us.
Liberals ruin everything
Or the Iranians told Putin after 12 day war the next attack from US/Israel which the every dog in the street knew was coming
Will result in the Staits of Hormuz closure for a long period and possible destruction of GCC oil production
so stock up on Oil and Gas for sale
US will have to lift sanctions and take other measures to protect their economy
uh oh, Lindsey Graham isn’t going to be happy, although there’s plenty of new grift with this Iran conflict. Maybe the Ukraine grift has played-out and all the taxpayer scammers can take their blue and yellow tree ribbons down now…..
Ah ha!
Imagine underestimating a billionaire land developer. It is to the President’s advantage that people don’t know how things work.
As has been stated by PDJT, a good deal has to be a mutually beneficial agreement. Putin gets what he wants and Trump got his wants. The Art of the Deal.
Our esteemed President is a brilliant strategist and tactician. He will not be taken advantage of by friends or adversaries.
It would be reasonable to imagine the President sharing a confidence with President Putin in order to gage his desire to work with the US for common interests we share to strengthen our respective sovereign nations.
If those confidences were kept, Russia might become an ally in the fight against globalism and the spread of state sponsored terrorism.
It’s amazing how PT is able to thread the needle in and out of the spreading existence of the evil insanity growing in the world. It’s almost like he’s getting help from beyond the physical world. He was made for just such an hour as this.
Obviously, the moves against Iran – 47 years in the coming – had been planned for a long time. Secretly.

Ukraine’s Nazis aka the Azov Battalion were attacking ethic Russians in the disputed eastern border between the Ukraine and Russian when Putin stepped in. President Trump redraw that border and give the ethnic Russians to Russia and end this awful war. Stop funding it and stop providing it military aid, military advisors and IC personnel!!! JMO
check and mate
President Trump is indeed a very stable genius.
He and Putin are natural allies, just as the United States and modern day Russia are natural allies.
The entirety of the “rules based world order” is dead set against Russia-irrationally so.
Watching President Trump outmaneuver those globalist clowns to achieve his MAGA goals is pure joy!
The entire sane world is way past sick and tired of that demonic, forty-seven-year-old ayatollah regime and all the ridiculous mullah cheerleaders.
Their globalist-backed days of reeking havoc literally across the world are coming to a screeching halt and not a moment too soon.
President Trump and President Putin are doing an outstanding job and I couldn’t be happier.

Those who have created the fake boogeyman over 80yrs ago are the ones “Mounting the Criticism” via their mouthpieces.
Typical
