What happened to the Venezuelan oil tanker that Trump stole?

Did he sell it on the market once the price went up?

How much did he make?

I'm sorry but there is nothing this guy will not do if he can make a buck. The laws be damned!

I'm beginning to believe that the entire Iran war was a conspiracy dreamed up by Putin and Trump, with the help of Putin's friends in the Iranian regime?

Putin was an ally of Iran but he was having talks with Trump on the phone?

A few people may have died, including American military members, but a couple of countries, Iran and Russia, have made a shitload of money off this "mini-war".

Now, Trump wants the war to end and everything to go back as it was before the war?

Something very fishy about this little war. It seems it may have been about the price of oil all along?

American oil companies are making billions in profits from this farce in the ME. A little payback for all the money they've invested in the political arena?

And have been for years, even when he wasn’t president. He doesn’t think this stuff up on his own Putin plants a bug his ear

He just has more power to do it now sitting in the White House.
