Trump says U.S. is seizing 'millions' of barrels of Iranian oil
President Donald Trump told reporters the United States is seizing "millions" of barrels of Iranian oil, saying the shipments are taken "in the dead of night" and declaring "I love the inflation" because the extra oil will lower prices. U.S. Central Command said it disabled a Palau-flagged tanker with precision munitions after the ship failed to comply with restrictions tied to Iranian oil transport. The claim links U.S. maritime enforcement directly to recent inflation numbers and signals a U.S. action that can alter oil supply, raise legal exposure, and heighten tensions with Iran and global markets.
SYKES: *plays audio of Trump claiming US is stealing Iranian oil* WRIGHT: I think the president is talking casually SYKES: Do you think that it's appropriate to 'talk casually' about war? WRIGHT: I think you talk to all different audiences and you talk in all different styles
Saint Sherman - The Ultimate Patriot141Lying is now a "talking style"? These people are not serious.
Chris⚖️Justice42👏 Well done, Ms. Sykes. Trump lies all the time. We don't know who to believe, and neither does his staff.
Patric Reynolds42Is one of those "styles" lying out of his ass?
rekati.bsky.social30Ah, yes. The locker room talk of oil pirates.
T-Fish🇨🇦🍁26Oooh oooh oooh play his comment that he loves inflation. Play that banger
Ariana Niko23President Trump is steering the United States into increasingly dangerous territory. The risk of another war is real, and it appears to be growing rather than shrinking.
Rabbit of Caerbannog19WRIGHT: I think you talk to all different audiences and you talk in all different styles Translation: you lie different lies to different people at different times
Brian McCabe13US servicemen have died. I don’t think the president should be talking casually about war in any situation
EC11So, apparently ‘talking casually’ means being a serial fabulist and pathological liar.
Liberal Donald J. Trump11TALKING CASUALLY?! We’re talking about bombing a sovereign country and bragging about taking their oil, and your defense is that he was being CASUAL? If Obama said this, you’d be screaming impeachment between commercial breaks. War isn’t a podcast. It’s not a stand-up set. Pick a lane, Rigpublicans!
Todd Lambert9You're talking in "casual bullshit" right now, aren't you?
Dog Has Thoughts8So they really do understand code-switching after all!
carelesswhisperer.bsky.social7Well he’s a casual pedophile as well.
Nick of the Northbank5But you never… NEVER wear a tan suit. Oh no.
Kevin Casey5Proud to have voted for @repemiliasykes.bsky.social
Ryan Statz4I’m guessing this is another unqualified, incompetent bootlicking sycophant that’ll get confirmed to whatever position Trump has nominated them for…
MariaC🇦🇷🇮🇹🇺🇦4What “style” is used to communicate with the families of the military, who are risking their lives, so the demented sewerbag taking up space in OUR House, can steal? Do they tell them “well, they knew what they signed up for”?
@KeepItBlueDems.bsky.social4Talking casually? Is this the same as Trump's Locker Room Talk?
Amanda Montagne3When has Trump, especially since he took office again, EVER modified his conversational style when talking to an audience? Because, he speaks exactly the same, regardless of who he's speaking too.
Matthew Prorok3I was unaware that "talking casually" carried an implicit assumption that a person is lying. Or that lying about such things was acceptable.
RainsEnd🇨🇦3Trump doesn't have "different styles". It's all the same ignorance and bullshit across the board. The world is quite aware of that.
Trixie 🌸🇨🇦3That was epic! She’s a queen for maintaining total control of that exchange.👑💙
Get up, stand up2So there is the admission that we can't believe anything they say.
wherethami.bsky.social2Remember when lying was a bad thing?
D Marie2Trump apologists are the worst.
drak-cola.bsky.social2It’s just locker room war talk.
Phoukaco2I think it's giving Trump too much credit to think that he's joking or clever or talking casually or being sarcastic or anything else. He isn't capable of it. It's the simplest way to figure out what he really means: just take his words at face value. He's too stupid to have subtext.
Elle2I honestly don’t know how they keep so calm. It’s like listening to someone trying to claim gravity doesn’t exist. I’d just run around perpetually screaming in frustration.
🇺🇸 BLUE VANGUARD 🇨🇦2The only thing Trump has done a good job at is surrounded himself with talking heads who echo the administration’s talking points regardless of the facts.
madisonfly.bsky.social2They have an excuse for everything to cover his ass…anyone else exhausted by this sh!* show?
pdqsoo.bsky.social2Isn't talking in different styles to different audiences what they were accusing Kamala of when they complained about code switching?
Rob Cerulo2This “casual talk” was apparently for the oil tycoons!
Scocyc32Iran Contra 2.0. Change my mind.
#Nov2026 🌊🌊 Vote for Democracy 🗳️ - ICE❌2'talking casually' -> aka lying/gaslighting/total bs🤥🔥 it's all we get from the Trump regime 'when someone shows you who they are - believe them'!! 😈☠️
Scout and T2Clean up on aisle 47.
Critical Minded 🇨🇦🍁💪🏼2"I think he meant" "What he really meant was" He's the President, and apparently an adult. We take him at his word, and not your sad excuse to cover for him.
