Not when they can ask Trump about staging a UFC fight on the White House lawn. Stewart: “We are so f**ked.” Meanwhile in the Persian Gulf things are going Trumpily. Iran has set up an agency “in charge of clearing vessels for transit” through the Strait of Hormuz.

And shipping companies? “Whipsawed,” reports The LA Times: With hundreds of vessels still stuck in the Persian Gulf and costs piling up, shipping companies are being whipsawed by uncertainty over how and when the Strait of Hormuz might reopen more than two months into the Iran war.

Go figure. One day this will all be history. So will we.
