Only Trump could market total failure as triumph.

To sum up: the United States launched a forty day war just to “reopen” the Strait of Hormuz, which had the basic inconvenience of already being open before the war began. It takes a special kind of talent to set fire to the room, smash the furniture, terrify everyone inside, and then demand applause for opening the door that was never closed. That is not victory. That is expensive stupidity with a press conference.
