Daydreaming About the Strait of Hormuz
The President of the United States reiterated his daydreams about the Strait of Hormuz, saying: "I think about changing the name of the Strait of Hormuz to Trump Strait." These remarks come as his popularity has sharply declined due to the economic repercussions of the war against Iran.
Recent poll results show that Trump's popularity has dropped to 32%, with 47% of voters supporting the Democratic Party and 36% supporting the Republican Party. These figures indicate a serious challenge for Trump ahead of the midterm elections.
