Could you cite your source on this?  I cannot find any reference to the US secretly taking the oil.  I find references that the US helped oil tankers move through the Strait of Hormuz, but nothing about what you're stating.  

Took me FIFTEEN MINUTES to find this. Isn't that a problem? On the mainstream media I can INSTANTLY find 100 articles bashing President Trump ... but when it comes to TRUTH in American corporate news & search engines, it's carefully filtered to support ONE SIDE. A Republic cannot survive like this! Incredible! Even all the AI searchers out there failed as well! ChatGPT said it needed more details on the video that I provided a DIRECT LINK to! I thought AI was the be-all, end-all?? I had to dig it up myself. This should be FRONT PAGE NEWS!!! 

 

Here's the statement directly from our President:

 

 

Glenn Beck's reporting on the operation:

In case that link doesn't work, here's the YouTube link:

 

 

And another 15 minutes to find this clip out of Glenn Beck's video - the first few seconds is all the corporate media will allow the public to see, since the low IQ people will think Trump said " I love inflation ", and that was the end of it. Taken WAY out of context! Here's that part, plus the 2nd part about the oil smuggling operation:

Yes it can be a challenge for obvious reasons. Remember when people were blocked on websites during the last administration if you didn’t agree. Being retired I can scan all the sites and podcasts. I start in the morning with Glen beck during my walk. Then I watch Orielly that I recorded the night before. I scan the headlines on Newsmax, and News Nation. News Nation has Como so it’s diverse. Weekly him and Orielly have debates sometimes Steven A is along for the ride. My nightcap is Jesse Watters for comic relief. Then it’s the Astros, that’s been disappointing. Sometimes Greg Kelly if the Astros are getting blown out.

Could you narrow down to what timestamp in this video where Trump says they took the ships out, pumped the oil out of them, and then put them back?  In the first few minutes he stated that ships were taken out during darkness.  I thought the media had already reported that the US was escorting ships out.  Nothing mentioned about draining them and putting them back.  Then he went in to seafood.  Please tell me where in the video he says this.  I'm just trying to validate your comments.

 

Your Glenn Beck video stated that the US did drain the oil from the ships and put them back.  Does he have inside information?  Just trying to validate.

I watch the press conference where he said it. Then I listen to the Glenn Beck radio the next day. Shortly after the press conference the barrel of oil went down. Gas prices have been going down around here. I guess you go on an adventure and see for yourself. It might be a little dangerous. I’m sure if you look enough you can find alleged evidence you back what ever you believe.

Then tell me when did he say it?  I'm just trying to validate your point of view.  Seems that you two and Glenn Beck are the only ones that heard it.

Yes, Donald Trump did make statements along those lines, but not exactly that the U.S. seized tankers, pumped the oil out, and then returned them.

In remarks on June 10, 2026, Trump claimed the U.S. had secretly helped move large amounts of oil through the Strait of Hormuz despite Iranian interference. He said the U.S. had been "taking out millions of barrels of oil" and described oil tankers moving at night with their lights off. He later posted that he had directed a "secret mission" to support oil tankers and commercial ships through the strait, claiming more than 100 million barrels of oil had reached world markets and over 200 ships had passed safely.

However, there is no evidence that Trump said the U.S. boarded oil tankers, pumped the oil out of them, and then put the tankers back. The claims were about helping ships transit the Strait of Hormuz, not confiscating or unloading their cargo.

It's also worth noting that Trump's statements were questioned by his own Energy Secretary, Chris Wright, who testified that he was not aware of the U.S. removing millions of barrels of oil, though he did say the U.S. military had helped some oil shipments move through the strait.

So the short answer is:

• Yes, Trump said the U.S. secretly helped move millions of barrels of oil through the Strait of Hormuz.
• No, he did not say the U.S. took oil out of tankers, emptied them, and then returned the ships.
• Some of the details and scale of Trump's claims have been disputed or remain unverified.

Well, now which is it?  Iranian oil tankers or tankers from UAE, Saudi, etc?  Still not showing me where Trump said it.  Until you can show me where Trump said it in a press conference, it's all fake news from the right.

I get it now. If Trump said it, like he would let someone else take credit or be first with good info. You can’t believe it. Or it’s reported as news. It must be fake news.

5.48 for 87 and 6.69 for diesel still. But guys, the peace deal is arriving today. We just have to finish shooting down these Iranian drones from their totally destroyed military. Once Don Retardentia signs the $300 Billion check made out to cash and hands it to Iran, we can move on to celebrating Don's 250th birthday in the big bouncy castle outside the WH!
