The mob boss gets a cut of the extorted tolls

[Deminpenn]

19. By now, we know this is a typical Trump move to portray himself as the ultimate deal maker

I'd expect the Iranian government is seeing this for what it is, an implied signal that Trump is entirely open to being bribed. with a cut of the tolls by Iran and Oman, too, if they are willing, For enough cash to be stashed away in a foreigh account, no more worries about Trump bothering them. And, unless Bibi comes up with more money, Irael might not be able to count on US cover for their efforts to clear out out Gaza, Lebanon and probably the West Bank when the former actions are completed.

It's how Trump rolls.
