Summary of Trump's speech: #trump waved the white flag and surrendered... We can't take it anymore. If you—the rest of the world—want the Strait of Hormuz opened, you open it yourselves. I'm leaving. I've made a total mess of the world, but I don't care. I'm a crazy, demented old man. Bye-bye.

Breathe deep and look about you.
