During a Truth Social posting spree on Sunday, the 79-year-old president shared an edited image of himself holding six Uno cards, along with the caption “I have all the cards”.
The image was shared soon after Trump announced the US will help ships pass through the Strait of Hormuz shipping route – the vital passageway largely closed off due to the war in Iran – so that vessels can “freely and ably get on with their business”.
The president did not disclose exactly how these plans will be carried out. The White House also reshared the image of Trump holding several cards on X to suggest he is winning the negotiations in the Middle East.
However, as several social media users noted, the aim of Uno is to get rid of all the cards in your hand. Meaning Trump is losing!
“Dear White House: If Trump has all the cards, then why are gas prices at record levels? Oh wait, in Uno you win by not having any cards”, California Rep Ted Lieu posted on X. “Your social media person really should get fired”.
But talk is cheap – it’ll be a different story if the US actually tries it and Iran decides to push back.
Iranian state media had claimed on Sunday that they had fired on US warships. US Central Command denied that any vessels had been hit, but confirmed that Iran launched cruise missiles at US naval assets and commercial ships. CENTCOM later crowed that two US-flagged merchant vessels had "successfully transited" through the strait.
A absolute certainty escapes us all.
Methinks, Iran should just restart the war, just so it can put the US in its proper place!
