Schadenfreude

Here’s another quote from X, this one linked by Stephen Green posting at Instapundit. The author is Andrew Clark.

In 72 hours we went from:
Trump never expected the possibility of Hormuz closing,

To:
Trump was briefed Hormuz could close but riskily did it anyway,

To:
Trump bombed Kharg Island but it likely won’t force Iran to open the Strait.

To:
Iran opened the Strait.

Trump keeps exceeding media expectations. Imagine how frustrated they must feel, I’m loving the schadenfreude.
