President Trump on Wednesday said he is considering the formation of a “joint venture” with Iran to set up tolls in the Strait of Hormuz after the Trump administration and Tehran agreed to a two-week ceasefire deal.

[…]

The president also suggested Monday that the U.S. could impose its own tolls on vessels trying to transit through the channel. Leaders in Tehran signaled last week it would install a “toll booth” system to exert a price on ships seeking safe passage through the strait.

      Trump is President. Trump is the US right now. It is dangerous to pretend he is not.

      And it is not just an aberration. Congress could remove Trump any time they wanted to. But they do not.
