Trump doesn’t have the power to charge ships money for transiting Hormuz. I shouldn’t even have to type this out.
Being the CIC of the world's strongest, by far, military says he does indeed have the power.

With Decatur even if you explain the grade school logic, he doesn't get it.

Trump's mismanagement of this war is going to enter Biden-Afganistan territory soon at this rate.

So what? We have entire billion dollar ships whose job it is to ensure freedom of navigation and we aren’t using them. We have divisions full of Marines whose job it is to take islands from the enemy and we’re not using them.
The United States Navy isn’t going to start boarding every vessel to make sure a fee is paid. It’s just not gonna happen.
You asked a question and I answered it. Yes, if need be, the United States Navy would board vessels that try to avoid a blockade. That's not an extraordinary thing, the Navy does it all the time. I'm sorry you don't like the answer, but it is what it is. Now, how do ye want yer vessel boarded, me hearty? By zipline at the bow, or by Zodiac at the stern?

In our system the President’s power comes from our Constitution, not the size of our military. Definitely should not have to type this out.
Edit: Power =/= authority - I’m not splitting this hair here

This is the same guy who created a thread questioning the strategic value of capturing Kharg Island. And now that we are taking control of the strait and are apparently about to start taxing fools, wants to pretend that other countries will simply ignore the US.
The truth is that he suffers from TDS and is wish casting failure because he thinks it would harm Trump.

So now we’re blockading the strait from everyone, not just Iran?

I don't know, are we? Are you just playing hypothetical frick-frick goalpost games? You asked if the U.S. Navy would board ships. The answer is yes, if need be. I don't know what else to tell you.
Posted on 7/13/26 at 1:48 pm to Saint Alfonzo
Apparently they have already warned everyone that if they try to evade the blockade prepare to be fired upon.

For not paying a toll going through the strait? No, they won’t. It’s just not gonna happen unless it’s a ship bound for or originating from Iran. Trump simply won’t order the military to do it.

If the U.S. has to incur the costs of providing safe passage should we not recoup the cost?

Hey, here is a business opportunity for you. You should take off your airline pilot hat, put on your captain hat, and start smuggling product by the US' Naval blockade. If what you're saying is correct, you could make a fortune!

Hr should kick them out of our building in NY, defund them, and exit.

He has already been given the authority to carry out a blockade.
He is now using the power tUS military has, to ensure his authority is carried out.
You should split hairs instead of typing dribble baw

I guess we'll find out.

He doesn’t have the power/authority to charge tolls/fees. Full stop.
It’s just fodder to fool his idiot base.
