## Article

Unbelievable. Trump said he'll declare the Strait of Hormuz a US territory, pretty soon, like wet water turns into Ohio if you say it loud enough. About a fifth of the world's oil already goes through that lane and staff is mocking up letterhead for a place that is, at present, water. And then you called it a service for the world. You're not drawing a state. Don't play us with a waterway.
