"We took over the ship," Mr. Trump said in remarks at a dinner at the Forum Club of the Palm Beaches in Florida. "We took over the cargo, took over the oil. It's a very profitable business. Who would have thought we were doing that? We're like pirates. We're sort of like pirates. But we're not playing games, because, you know, for 47 years, Iran has been pushing everybody around."

We're like pirates. We're sort of like pirates.

Back in the day, we used to ferret out pirates to make the waters safe for trade and prevent forced conscription and slavery: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Barbary_War

Now, the U.S. has become the pirate. So very sad...
