To anyone considering using the Straits of Hormuz, don't listen to the US!

So much for American first. Now we have to pay for other countries boats if they are willing to transport through a war zone we created. bsky.app/profile/umbr...

What…???? You mean we can’t just ‘drill baby drill’ our way out of this…?

It gets harder…

For a reasonable price!🤮

Nice tanker you got there, shame if something happen to it.

Is that the same 'military protection' that was used at the girls elementary school in Iran?

“And YOU get to pay for it!”

And you’re surprised?

Uh, Navy says no.

And exactly how will we do that with available resources?

I can't even get health insurance, but sure, let's insure and escort oil tankers heading to China

"The US Government" is going to step in and pay for it? Nope, the US Taxpayers are stuck footing this bill.

The illegal Trump regime… insurer of last resort

But we’re not at war at least.

A Navy escort is not insurance. Who pays if the tanker still gets hit? (I support our Navy - but they’re not infallible)

If anything the presence of nearby American warships will make the tankers even more of a target.

and we’re paying for ALL of this, how???

So basically other people's children are going to die because Trump is a war monger 🤦🏻‍♀️

The deep channel is only 2 miles wide. Sitting ducks

That is why they are arming Kurds in on foot to distract them on the northern border.

Uh huh, sure old Queen.

Yeah. Ok. Lol

All these assholes do is light fires and then act like we should be grateful when they put out a tiny little bit of the fire.

More of our money 🙄

So we're going to put American lives at risk, we'll make sure they're paid slave wages and that they do everything they're told These poorsies will also vote again and again with the party, ensuring generations of voters who keep us in power.

But people are stranded with no way out and he’s securing FN oil?!!!!🤬🖕🏽

Really? I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for a payout

Send Noem and her untrained ICE agents

Yeah cause we don’t need to spend tax money on healthcare or other social services.

He'll somehow refuse to pay

does this echo of when Trump told his cult to assault protestors at his rallies and he would pay their legal fees? which of course he did not also, it won´t be Trump shelling out but the US taxpayer

So make checks out tooooo... Donald J. Trump!

Did I miss a vote to change the American government to an oil corporation versus a government for the people, by the people?

Smug.

This guy never sounds like he believes a word he saying. Probably because he never does.

No wonder this guy was a failed hedge fund manager

So dumb

This is on really expensive war. cbwrong.blogspot.com/2026/03/dove...

How exactly?

lol no it’s not

What a f'ing pompous ass!

So when UnitedHealthCare nullifies my insurance, you’ll be there for me?

How, The Strait of Hormuz is geographically controlled by Iran to the north and Oman (specifically its Musandam peninsula) to the southOman

Oh. The insurance policy will prevent oil tankers from being sunk. LOL. Got it.

United States of Oil

Proposed names for new Persian Gulf Escort class (shallow draft littoral missile frigate) to launch in 2030: USS Co-Pay USS Pre-Existing Condition USS Single Payer USS Denied Coverage USS In Network USS Deductible

What prevents these ships from being sitting ducks in the Strait of Hormuz?

So.... corporate socialism... funded by the American taxpayer... while corporations get *checks notes* massive tax breaks under the OBBB...

How much does each tanker have to pay directly to trump for this safe passage?

I wonder where the ships are going to come from ??? Disneyland ?

Mr. Arrogant himself promises things he should not promise!

"I swear to uphold and defend the Constitution and the revenues of oil companies."

What could possibly go wrong?

Only if you buy the US insurance - and make sure you read ALL the small print - it'll be full of get out clauses.

But we can’t afford health insurance

Your assuming ship owners are prepared to sail through there, to take the risk… One loss is $100m + Environmental 3rd Party Damage which could be >$200m & the American taxpayer is going to underwrite that? Plus, the World already knows, Trump, NEVER pays up!

So now the US Taxpayer is going to pick up the costs of foreign oil moving through the Strait.

I've seen this in movies...just a little cash under the table and nothing will happen to your store front.

Seems kinda socialist, don't you think?

The U.S. Navy has already thrown cold water on this.

Bankrupt if you break your leg

Really...?

He actually sounds a lot like Fetterman with his manner of speech.

I’m going with no soul

Moral bankruptcy is a requirement for becoming a Trumpian shill

Can a soul be lobotomized?

MAGA worships Mammon.

Yeah, because we have "unlimited" resources, right!? 🙄

How much does that cost????

You can bet that Trump will believe that because Llyods of London is in the UK, the UK government should force it to reinstate the insurance.

Where do they get all this money?

Trump Insurance Co. This will be a hit just like all of his super awesome business ventures

Help the tankers get through, but leave the citizens wherever they are... got it!

We The Oil Corporations

and this govt is one that you can totally rely on. (sarcasm)

Navy says it can’t do that

So he any the other billionaires are going to pay for this, right?

Now they are out in the open with their ‘protection racket’. An organized crime government!

What a royal fuckup.

Won't happen. It puts US ships in an extremely vulnerable position that's known and close to the Iranian coast. Is the US also offering insurance? Lloyd's aren't. I doubt any crew or company would risk it, sitting on a ship full of oil or gas.

They don't cover Acts of War

Step in ? You started this bullshit, the world see’s right through your lies !!

We said HEALTH Insurance..Not Corporate Insurance..I hate it here.

So my husband’s health insurance costs had to double because American Taxpayers are to blame for everything but we have unlimited money for global-destabilizing wars & to underwrite the insurance for tankers & freighters?

Seems that protection is working up to the usual subpar trump standards as a container ship is on fire after a drone attack this morning.

Insurance for oil, but not for people. Good job, America!

Yeah, right. Let’s see how well that goes down..

Sounds expensive.

Oh thank god our taxes are being put to good use. I hate this regime.

panic setting in... "what have we done"

With what ships, bitch?

More healthcare coverage for foreign countries oil than for Americans. Go! America First.

So we can’t pay for food for the poor, SNAP benefits, affordable housing or affordable healthcare but we HAVE THE MONEY FOR WAR AND TO “PROVIDE SAFE PASSAGE FOR OIL TANKERS “! GFO TRUMP

No tanker will take them up on that offer

MAGA will be happy with this (because MAGA is merely a Trump cult)

These people are just winging it and look effing ridiculous every time they speak.

So happy the Trump administration has cut wasteful spending for the Amercan taxpayer.🙄 Is anyone keeping track of how much the national debt has increased since Trump 2.0 has begun?

Nobody is moving through the Strait. Red are tankers. Arrows are underway and dots are anchored

Oof. wow. 🎯

Not to mention they are risking the lives of service members because Hegseth said today that "Iranians had the intention to continue their nuclear weapons program". Not that had done so.

USE the billionaire Bessent's money. I'm tired of paying for this ignorant, racist, corrupt and cruel regime.

"Are we still America first" 😂

I wake up to the knowledge that I’m now in the insurance business.

The only way out of all of these self-made crises is to vote the GOP out of congress in the midterms. The embezzlement, wasteful spending, fraud, inflation, rising gas prices, wars abroad and against its own citizens. It has got to end.

we pay the price for blood and oil politics

He looks very sure of himself.

Cool. We're paying to secure everybody else's fucking oil now. How the fuck is this america first? Fuck this country.

The US Government means every day Americans paychecks so we’re on the hook for this and the tariffs what about the billionaires when do they pay?

He means our children are putting themselves in harms way so the rest of us can have oil and the stock market won’t crash.

This is quite the way of explaining that acts of war are probably policy exclusions.

Oh really?!? We are Lloyd's of London now? When our own debt is already piled high enough to reach the moon?

But we nay have higher gas prices and that would make trump look bad, so he doesn't care how many people have to die to keep him popular with the racist morons.
