— Iran is doing everything they can to drive up the price of Oil prior to the U.S. Midterm Election. Iranian officials have targeted commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz to keep global oil prices high ahead of the Nov. three, 2026, U.S.

midterm elections. To counter this, U.S. naval forces have cleared mines and escorted tankers to maintain Gulf crude exports near 16.5 million barrels per day. Iran is doing everything they can to drive up the price of Oil prior to the U.S.

Midterm Election. They are even making up fake hits, mines, and everything else, because more Oil is coming through the Hormuz Strait now than it did even prior to the beginning of the Conflict. They continue to kill protestors, and anyone else that happens to be in their way. It is truly an Evil Regime, and I can only hope the American Public, and the World, understands how EVIL they are! 75,000 protestors lie dead in less than seven months.

President Trump is the author of The Art of the Deal, Think Like a Billionaire, and Think Big. Analyst and Trump supporter Rod Martin points to The Art of the Deal, Trump's 1987 book, as an explanation of his deal-making philosophy: making big announcements, pivoting often in public statements and, Martin says, ultimately getting what he wanted all along. Critics contend that Trump's books were published decades ago or were aimed at making money, not shedding light. "Generally," Martin said, "critics don't read The Art of the Deal. If they did, they would understand."
