Earth Trump uses the sanctions as an excuse to hijack every tanker of Iranian crude he can get his hands on.

He’s already selling hijacked Venezuelan oil and squirreling the proceeds into a private Qatari bank account, so hijacking and selling Iranian oil would simply increase that amount going into his private coffers.

But things ain’t going well for him here in America. His storm troopers are not popular at all and are growing more unpopular every day. Republicans are grumbling and he cant rely on their unquestioning support like he used to be able to do.

He’s trying to ignite a war in the streets so he can invoke the Insurrection Act and call in the military, but so far, that’s not working.

Which brings us back to that Qatari bank. Why is he shoving hundreds of millions of dollars of American assets into his own private account?

I’ll give a likely answer by asking a question…..

What do dictators do when they fear their regime is about to come crashing down and their loyal subjects are not so loyal any more…. In fact they are pissed? What did Assad just do?
Shah of Iran as Khomeni flew from France to Tehran? Somoza as the Sandinistas rolled into Managua. Idi Amin and a passel of African dictators as their illegitimate reigns crashed and burned?

They fled for their boltholes, prepared and properly feathered ahead of time.

My guess is Trump is preparing for that option that will be ready if he decides he needs to flee.
