Donald Trump's naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is criticized as a failed application of the "madman theory." The host compares Trump to Odysseus, who pretended to be insane to avoid war but ultimately proved his sanity by sparing his son; conversely, he suggests Trump is actually "running over his own son" by pursuing a war without an exit strategy. He further alleges that the U.S. used fake peace talks as cover to move warships into position.
