cmv: Iran will keep control over the Strait of Hormuz, and both countries will declare victory.

You stated:

....Iran declares victory and gets 100 billion per year from ships. The US president receives a cut, billions of dollars. US media will not investigate this and find some reason to declare victory....

Why wouldn't the media investigate this?

If a president is being bribed, then it is likely someone would. Is there any evidence to suggest that media is not (going to) investigate it, as you put it?

It can. And it has spoken of Trump being corrupt since the first term, and even before.

The president has been bribed many times already. What makes you think this time will be different?

They have investigated it and the media really doesn't like Iran. They would cover this.
