In which the President of the United States suggests that the US Military might take 20% of all revenues from the Middle East region in exchange for being its "guardian." That is, providing protection. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/14/u...
It’s going great www.nytimes.com/2026/06/14/u...

Sanger writes as if Trump was not deranged. But the quotes! Trump tells him if Iran balks he might make the United States “the guardian of the Middle East” in return for 20 percent of the region’s revenues. Insanity, normalized. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/14/u...
In an interview with David Sanger, Trump says he will serve as "guardian of the Middle East" in exchange for a 20% revenue cut. This man is mentally ill, there's simply no getting around that fact. The world recognizes it. But MAGA world doesn't.
There’s that “status quo” thing again: “Iran had never charged tolls before the war, so Mr. Trump is essentially celebrating a return to the prewar status quo.” www.nytimes.com/2026/06/14/u...
David Sanger's devastatingly dry take down: www.nytimes.com/2026/06/14/u...
The Middle East would like to hear more about this fascinating notion of the US using its power to assure peace and prosperity. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/14/u...
"Mr. Trump also insisted that if Iran failed to reach a final nuclear accord with the United States [...] he would restart military attacks on Tehran or make the United States 'the guardian of the Middle East' in return for 20 percent of the region’s revenues."
"The Obama administration’s agreement had the same requirement, but Iran began enriching at far higher levels — including near-bomb-grade uranium enriched to 60 percent purity — after Mr. Trump scrapped that deal in 2018." The bottom line: not as good a deal as the JCPOA.
“While the text of the agreement has not yet been published, Mr. Trump seemed to be describing Iranian concessions that the country has not yet made, or that have been kicked to the follow-up negotiations.” www.nytimes.com/2026/06/14/u...
Trump is insane. His claim that if his deal fails, “he would restart military attacks on Tehran or make the United States ‘the guardian of the Middle East’ in return for 20 percent of the region’s revenues” is detached from reality. Can’t believe anything he says. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/14/u...
Trump’s MO is to over promise & under deliver. Real recovery will depend on a genuine peace agreement—more than just opening the Strait & more talk. Whether the world is safe from a nuclear armed Iran remains to be seen.

Trump Claims Strait Will Be ‘Permanently Toll-Free’ Under Agreement With Iran, but the agreement says it will be toll- free FOR ONLY 60 DAYS! Be careful, Trump is a liar. It’s not even a sealed deal. It’s a “Memo of Understanding” www.nytimes.com/2026/06/14/u...
Is anyone going to tell him the Strait was toll free before he went into Iran?? www.nytimes.com/2026/06/14/u...
This deal isn't happening. Pakistan appears to once again have told him one thing and Iran something else. Lol. Lmao even. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/14/u...

"He’s a very difficult guy," Mr. Trump said of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, "and to be honest with you, he should be very thankful to us for doing this. Because if Iran had a nuclear weapon, Israel wouldn’t be around for two hours." www.nytimes.com/2026/06/14/u...

Trump Claims Strait Will Be ‘Permanently Toll-Free’ Under Agreement With Iran, which it was before the war started; so back to status quo? www.nytimes.com/2026/06/14/u...
_Trump also insisted that if Iran failed to reach a final nuclear accord with the US… he would restart military attacks on Tehran or make the United States “the guardian of the Middle East” in return for 20% of the region’s revenues._ WTF? “Guardian of the Middle East?” 20% of region’s revenues?
Didja catch THIS part? Trump offered to subcontract our MILITARY to Big Oil: America’s armed services could be deployed as “the guardian of the Middle East” in return for the low, low price of 20% of regional oil revenues. Ya think he makes 10 points on this? Or 40? www.nytimes.com/2026/06/14/u...
#weirdTrump hat also den Krieg verloren, verlangt #Schutzgeld und #Iran steht besser da als zuvor, weiß jetzt um seine Macht, die Weltwirtschaft in Würgegriff zu nehmen. Nichts ist fixiert, Status schlechter als der #Obama Deal. #Trump, the worst #Potus ever! #Politik🏛️ 🎁🔗
www.nytimes.com/2026/06/14/u... Trump is FOS! So this deal is bad for the USA, but Trump will claim it’s the greatest deal ever! Delusional Trump will lie to the nation, and his MAGA cult will lap up the lies like mother’s milk. Trump created this war, and he LOST. We all lost. Humiliation again!
So the Straits of Hormuz will now be ‘Permanently Toll-Free’ - just as it was before Trump started his pointless war. But there is no nuclear deal to replace the one he ripped up in a temper tantrum. Plus 1000s of people died needlessly and we are all poorer. Idiot. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/14/u...

"While the text has not yet been published, Trump seemed to describe Iranian concessions the country has not made, or that have been kicked to the follow-up negotiations. The memo, for example, only suspends tolls in the strait for 60 days, and then promises a regional dialogue about the future." 😂
The strait was toll free prior to war. Trump praises, get this, he praises Putin! For not getting involved. Also Trump promises "protection" for a cut of the proceeds, like any mob boss. Trump Claims Strait Will Be ‘Permanently Toll-Free’ Under Agreement With Iran www.nytimes.com/2026/06/14/u...
Narrator: He is, of course, lying. The agreement says no such thing. Nor has Iran agreed to stop enriching uranium, or to turn over existing stocks of enriched uranium. IOW, Trump came out with less than we had before, and MUCH less than the Obama deal he trashed. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/14/u...
"Iranian media claims it will be toll-free only during the 60-day negotiating period. Thereafter....Iran intends to collect 'fees'....from transiting vessels in coordination with Oman." www.nytimes.com/2026/06/14/u...

He told David Sanger that if we don't reach a nuclear deal with Iran, he would start the war again or use our military as a mercenary force to protect the Mideast in return for 20% of their revenues. WTH?
Of course. I just bought an EZPass for the Strait. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/14/u...
It gets crazier and crazier. My @nytimes colleague @SangerNYT reports that President Trump told him in an interview today that he might make the US "the guardian of the Middle East" in exchange for 20% of revenues. Original post
He called the press in the afternoon, then headed to the cage match. Because priorities. 🎁 article www.nytimes.com/2026/06/14/u...

I am very surprised that trump is not going to set up Trump branded toll booth in the Strait of Hormuz, since he has not missed many opportunities to profit from his office. It would make a good starter racket for Baron. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/14/u...

A vig of 20% is pretty steep. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/14/u...
Access Journalism at its most gullible. Yes, Iran is apparently now on-record saying it will sign an agreement to end the conflict BUT: I hope that by now, #Sanger knows the Folly of believing ANYTHING 47 SAYS: “In Call to the NYT, 47 Says the Strait is now Toll Free” www.nytimes.com/2026/06/14/u...

1) In the course of the conversation, the president sounded in a celebratory mood, talking about the Ultimate Fighting Championship event being held on the South Lawn of the White House on Sunday evening and the possibility that it could be interrupted by rain. “This happens in wartime,” he said.
Has he told military families their sons and daughters will be MERCENARIES? “Mr. Trump…insisted that if Iran failed to reach a… nuclear accord with the United States… he will make the US “the guardian of the Middle East”…for 20 percent of the region’s revenues.” www.nytimes.com/2026/06/14/u...
“Mr. Trump also insisted that if Iran failed to reach a final nuclear accord with the United States…he would restart military attacks on Tehran or make the United States ‘the guardian of the Middle East’ in return for 20 percent of the region’s revenues.” Oh?
Trump Claims Strait Will Be ‘Permanently Toll-Free’ Under Agreement With Iran www.nytimes.com/2026/06/14/u... No you don’t. He started a war at the behest of Netanyahu & spent billions. People were killed only for it to end in a worse position than when he went in. His stupidity is frightening.
The Art of the Deal: Iran says it will begin collecting tolls in 60 days. “Trump Claims Strait Will Be ‘Permanently Toll-Free’ Under Agreement With Iran” www.nytimes.com/2026/06/14/u...
Yes, just like it was before he launched his illegal war.
"The memorandum of understanding, for example, suspends tolls in the strait for only 60 days, and then promises a regional dialogue about the future. Iran had never charged tolls before the war, so the president is essentially celebrating a return to the prewar status quo."

#Trump “argued that, despite the objections of Prime Minister #Netanyahu of #Israel, he had saved Israel from nuclear obliteration.” Really? The Huckster is crowing like a hormonal rooster. Israel has nuclear weapons (shhh…). Kabuki. #Iran #propaganda #fascism www.nytimes.com/2026/06/14/u...

Trump Reality Network (TRN) report: For 20 yrs the US and Israel have been warning about Iran's imminent nuclear capability. It never materialized. Today Trump claimed he saved Israel from nuclear obliteration. A fictitious excuse for war reaps fictitious fruit of victory. Beyond the twilight zone
