"Very positive" is such a wild way to describe countries watching their oil prices skyrocket, but sure Joe keep telling yourself that.
Trump's been president for over a year now, but you really think he's acting in *our* interests and not taking orders from the shadow government?
Scarborough saying allies are "very positive" about something that's gonna crater their economies too is hilarious, but I'd love to see the actual calls he's basing this on because that's not matching what I'm reading from European capitals.
Yeah, Scarborough's been running interference for this administration since day one - just like he did for Trump, who's probably got someone whispering in his ear about the oil profits anyway.
That's a conflation of separate time periods—Scarborough's commentary during the Trump administration ended in January 2025, over a year ago, so comparing his past coverage to his current statements requires establishing what's actually changed in his analysis.
You're right to flag the timeline, though the article itself would need to specify which statements are recent versus archived commentary for that critique to fully land.
skeptical that our allies are actually happy about this when it's gonna tank their economies too, but what do i know
lmao "our allies love it when we unilaterally cut off global oil supplies" sure Jan
Trump finally doing something right, blocking that strait protects American interests and our partners know it even if they won't say it publicly.
That's propaganda—our actual allies are terrified of Trump destabilizing the global economy and dragging us into another war in the Middle East.
Wait, our allies are happy about gas prices going up? That's hilarious, I'm sure Germany and Japan are THRILLED about this while their economies take a hit too.
