Did it even open yet? I'm so confused. I thought the U.S. was turning all the ships back and now Iran closed it from their end too

I think Iran just closed it again. Schrödingers Strait..

They closed it when Trump said it was open to everyone but Iran.  So, he closed it again.

Well, anything Trump says is false. I always work backwards from that premise.

If he says something that sounds like it would be good for the world, it's a lie.  If it sounds like something awful and appalling, he's serious.

We say one thing. Iran says another. Markets keep pumping regardless. Everything is a lie

No. He closed it again. But I guess he forgot.

As if "trump says" means anything

it does mean that the probability is very low that whatever follows is true or accurate

To think, once upon a time, American Conservatives were all about making sure China wasn't happy.

You really think Trump needs to be compromised to kiss the ass of the other biggest economy in the world? He was born to suck Xi’s member

Fair enough. Melania isn't the only one who's whored/ing herself out for fun and profit in that marriage.

It's not open.

I mean it's never been closed to China so he's not wrong

Why do they even write articles about what Trump says? Most of the time he's lying.

“Trump says…” is not newsworthy.

Why does an American president want a Chinese president to be happy about a war he started?

Mike-SBA Apr 18, 2026 +6
I doubt that Xi has spoken to Trump at all.

DeterminedThrowaway Apr 18, 2026 +1
He literally said he didn't talk to Xi and just knows what he wants lol

Well according to the Iranians it’s closed again, you dumb orange fuckwit. God I am tired of this …

mascachopo Apr 18, 2026 +3
He was happy too when it was open in the first place.

You don't need journalistic accountability if you just put "Someone says" before it. Then anything can be true.

I’m sure the deal was made between China and Iran and the orange a*** had nothing to do with it except shoot off his mouth.

It never closed for China.

China has a huge stake in the gulf. It’s a lot more important for them for it to be open than it is for the US.

MuchAligned38 Apr 18, 2026 +2
Wouldn’t have to open if it didn’t close in the first place. wtf are we doing?

How about the people you serve Mr trump?

Xi: “Sir, we’re very happy, sir.”

Shame it's not actually open then.

SenseiKingPong Apr 18, 2026 +2
F****** game! Hormuz is closed (again) can’t keep up with the headlines anymore.

feralmoron Apr 18, 2026 +2
Huh. I don’t remember hearing Xi say that.

Trump says a lot of things and people still believe him

nohurrie32 Apr 18, 2026 +2
Dear “news” media outlets, as soon as I (and I assume millions of others.) hear the phrase “Trump says” we know it’s a lie and never happened.

DFWPunk Apr 18, 2026 +2
Not anymore.

And the USA cares what china thinks now?

ElPuppyNation Apr 18, 2026 +2
Lol when Iran is more trusty than the piece of shit at the head of the US. Get fucked, maga. Whoever voted for that pedophile deserve the same treatment he'll get in 3 years.

heavy-minium Apr 18, 2026 +1
Yeah it's not just a joke, I can truly feel on listnook comments that Iran is starting to have a better image than the U.S. Both are currently bad in their very own special way, but it's still shocking to see how bad a hegemony that should have moral superiority is now in the same playing field as small-time depots.

Long_Confidence_4996 Apr 18, 2026 +2
So. The US military is doing operations to make Xi happy?

ObviouslyRealPerson Apr 18, 2026 +1
Why did it close on the first place? Trump is taking a W on his L

just_a_guy_named1681 Apr 18, 2026 +1
Didn't Iran close it?
1
Heavy_Milk2757 Apr 18, 2026 +8
Yep. It's closed. It's hard to tell who is telling the truth of course. Is it the religious hardliners who believe in child marriage, kill protesters and worship a paedophile? Or Iran?

F***.

China has been stockpiling c**** oil for some time. Im sure theyll be just fine.

whatdabee Apr 18, 2026 +1
Xi is happy that Trump is digging America's grave.

ChiefStrongbones Apr 18, 2026 +1
Every time he flip-flops the strait, Trump makes money trading oil futures. Iran wants a piece of that racket too.

Well, gee. I’m sure glad to hear it.

EmmaFrostBroken Apr 19, 2026 +1
Why are we still reporting things Trump says? The guy lies so often the only news story would be an instance of him telling the truth.
1
Bjorne_Fellhanded Apr 18, 2026 +1
lol Xi is ignoring Trump. At best he’s mildly amused watching the utter failure laid bare.
