On Sunday, President Trump posted to social media the following (with a profanity redacted): "Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the F[---]in’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP" Later Sunday, in a news media interview, Trump said that if Iran's leaders don’t agree to reopen the Strait of Hormuz by Tuesday evening, "They won’t have any power plants and they won’t have any bridges standing." Do you approve or disapprove of these Trump comments about the consequences for Iran of not reopening the Strait of Hormuz?
