    Have you tried to read the article maybe?

    “In a separate article, Kaufman argued recently that Iran’s regime had “swindled” Trump three times – repeatedly promising to reopen the strait before closing it again to extract further concessions from Washington.”

    That’s a twist on the facts. Iran didn’t swindle Trump or extract concessions, their closing of the strait is in self defense in direct response to Trump’s illegal war, the slaughtering of their children, the destruction of their infrastructure, the assassination of their leaders, and the threats to kill an entire civilization.

    Kaufman is not arguing that Trump is an idiot, they’re arguing that Trump is not attacking Iran good enough.
