\"Trumpiana: From coins and currency to Strait of Hormuz, the Don wants to leave his mark everywhereAs Donnie boy played with his expensive war toys quickly expending 800 Tomahawk cruise missiles, he first gave Iran 48 hours to \u201cFULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz,\u2019\u2019 or face obliteration of their \u201cPOWER PLANTS.\u201dJust before the deadline passed, Donald Trump gave \u201cvery different\u201d and \u201cstrange\u201d Iranian negotiators \u201cbegging us to make a deal,\u201d another five days only to extend it by 10 more days to April 6 \u201cper Iranian Government request.\u201d <\/p>\n

Trump ‘Renames’ Strait Of Hormuz After Himself Mid-Speech; Iran Explodes In Fury Even as Iranian leaders rejected his 15-point ceasefire proposal, Trump claimed on Truth Social \u201cdespite erroneous statements to the contrary by the Fake News Media, and others, they (talks) are going very well.\u201dBut without a let up in his bravado, he asked a defiant insolent Iran \u2014 \u201cTheir leadership is gone, their navy and air force are dead.\u201d \u2014 to accept his plan or \u201cwe\u2019ll just keep blowing them away.\u201dTrump even winkingly referred to the Strait of Hormuz as the \u201cStrait of Trump\u201d saying Iran has to \u201copen up the Strait of Trump \u2014 I mean, Hormuz.\u201d As his remarks at the Future Investment Initiative in Miami, garnered a few laughs from the crowd, he made it clear it was no joke.\u201cExcuse me. I\u2019m so sorry. Such a terrible mistake,\u201d he said, feigning an apology before declaring, \u201cThe fake news will say, \u2018He accidentally said\u2019 \u2014 No, there\u2019s no accidents with me, not too many. If there were, we\u2019d have a major story.\u201dBy evening, the Trump friendly New York Post had a story citing sources that POTUS is considering taking control of the strait and renaming it after himself, or calling it the \u201cStrait of America,\u201d as he previously relabelled the Gulf of Mexico.Earlier on Monday, Trump had floated the possibility that the strait could be controlled jointly by \u201cme and the ayatollah\u201d as part of a resolution to the war.Meanwhile, the White House\u2019s social media posts mixing Iran war footage with clips from cartoons and video games earned widespread criticism, with service members and families who lost loved ones saying the memes and jokes trivialize combat and sacrifice.While Trump aides claimed the backlash sent views soaring, it also launched a thousand counter memes with one on X portraying him as a brat attacking a map of Iran with his toy planes and missiles.During a Cabinet meeting to discuss his ever expanding war, Trump downplayed the severity of the oil and gas price spikes saying energy prices \u201chave not gone up as much as I thought.\u201dThe military campaign is \u201cnot over, so maybe it\u2019ll go up a little bit more,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s all going to come back down to where it was and probably lower.\u201dTrump also took a little time off to extoll the virtues of the Sharpie pen that he uses to sign his executive fiats and bills bragging about negotiating $5 personalized Sharpies painted black and embossed with \u201cWhite House\u201d in gold.Calling it more economical and a better instrument than the fancier writing tools preferred by his predecessors, he cited it as an example of his business acumen.\u201cI came here. They have thousand-dollar pens, and, you know, you hand pens out, you\u2019re signing and you hand them out,\u201d he said. \u201cYou\u2019re handing them with all these people, sometimes you have 30 or 40 people, and they were $1,000 a piece.\u201d\u201cThe bottom line is: They\u2019re better pens,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s a business story. So for $5, it could be zero, but for $5, I get a much better pen than for $1,000.\u201dMeanwhile, as long lines grew at airports due to a partial government shutdown over an impasse on funding for the Department of Homeland Security, Trump sent ICE agents to help. While some have speculated the idea came from a conservative radio caller, Trump took credit comparing it to the invention of paper clip.\u201cThat was like the paperclip. You know the story of the paperclip?\u201d he told reporters. \u201cOne hundred and eighty-two years ago, a man discovered the paperclip. It was so simple. And everybody that looked at it said, \u2018Why didn\u2019t I think of that?\u2019 ICE was my idea.\u201dTrump, who is pushing for a voting bill to curb mail-in voting, which he has decried as \u2018cheat-in voting,\u2019 himself used the facility to cast his ballot in a special election in Palm Beach County.The President, who was in Palm Beach over the weekend, during the election\u2019s early voting period, justified his action saying \u201cbecause of the fact that I\u2019m president of the United States, I did a mail-in ballot for elections that took place in Florida.\u201dTrump who is on a spree of re-installing monuments to controversial figures from America\u2019s past, added one of Christopher Columbus to the White House. The statue was previously displayed in Baltimore until protesters dumped it in the city\u2019s harbor in 2020.And after a handpicked federal arts commission cleared the way for the U.S. Mint to produce commemorative 24-carat gold coins with Trump\u2019s image on them, treasury department announced his signature will soon appear on U.S. paper currency.To accommodate this change to commemorate America\u2019s upcoming 250th anniversary on July 4, the treasurer\u2019s signature will be removed for the first time since 1861.\u201cThere is no more powerful way to recognize the historic achievements of our great country and President Donald J Trump than US dollar bills bearing his name,\u201d stated Treasury secretary Scott Bessent.The first $100 bills with Trump\u2019s signature and that of Bessent will be printed in June, followed by other bills in subsequent months.Presumably the Donald will sign America\u2019s Happy Birthday bills with a Sharpie minus the last \u2018d\u2019 with a tale tale long tail appended on the birthday greetings that \u2018he didn\u2019t send\u2019 to one Jeffrey Epstein.(By arrangement with The American Bazaar, www.americanbazaaaronline.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"From coins and currency to Strait of Hormuz, the Don wants to leave his mark everywhereAs Donnie boy…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":41058,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[17552,102,2288,101,392,7587],"class_list":{"0":"post-41057","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-strait-of-hormuz","8":"tag-everywhereas-donnie","9":"tag-hormuz","10":"tag-scott-bessent","11":"tag-strait-of-hormuz","12":"tag-trump","13":"tag-trumps"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@iran\/116311724021177180","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41057","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=41057"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41057\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/41058"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41057"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=41057"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=41057"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
