Well today Trump ordered heavy bombing of the Strait and now with the blockade in place he's
charging 20% for the US's services to secure free passage. Trump said along the lines of being the "Guardian of the Strait of Hormuz" and "security guarantor." Bold and powerful words, but in the end it reminds of what happens after I have a spicy burrito.

It all feels like Trump attempting to rebrand himself as this powerful strongman even though before this war there was no 20% that I'm aware of. In my view it not quite making sense makes sense in the Trump years.
