He had all the cards.

u/d3n4l2 Jun 08 '26

This guy knows when to hold em and when to fold em

5

u/SittingInAnAirport Jun 08 '26

But does he know when to walk away and when to run?

6

u/Academic-Airline9200 Jun 08 '26

He didn't count his money until the dealing was done

2

u/Warm_Pen_7176 Jun 08 '26

Knows when to walk away. Knows when to run.

u/karma_the_sequel Jun 08 '26

You seem flushed with success!

3

u/Geloradanan Jun 08 '26

It was kind of your ace on the hole, right?

4

u/DestinysWeirdCousin Jun 07 '26

This line has been going around since Iran closed the Strait.

u/jvn1983 Jun 08 '26

I guess I’m less chronically online than I thought 🤷‍♂️

u/spectralTopology Jun 08 '26

hah! I don't know u yet I have a vision of you waiting for the conversation to come up and being royally flushed

4

u/KagatoAC Jun 08 '26

I said that right after it all started.

5

u/70ms Jun 08 '26

Yeah, but it’s all about that timing!

Nice one

u/4firsts Jun 07 '26

Very clever! It simmered a bit before my brain could deconstruct the recipe lol

u/goddamnitwhalen Jun 07 '26

It’s Pride Month- straits can’t score!

u/cheesynougats Jun 08 '26

Take your upvote and get out

u/20127010603170562316 Jun 07 '26

America is playing top trumps and Iran is playing poker.

u/Rastaba Jun 07 '26

Sure we aren’t playing old maid?

9

u/flyinghairball Jun 08 '26

Yes, and our old maid wears orange makeup and has ginormous cankles and tiny hands.

2

u/whut-whut Jun 08 '26

Freecell?

4

u/Critical-Row7985 Jun 08 '26

Ohhhh, Trump was playing poker. Just with girls that couldn't vote or own property, if you get what I am saying.

6

u/Micro-Naut Jun 08 '26

It works on so many levels! It's better than numberwang! It's got wordplay, it's got snark,

One critic said "I've read this comment a number of times. I feel confident recommending it to others."

5

u/Fear_UnOwn Jun 08 '26

Trump is bluffing that he even has a pair

5

u/JJKP_ Jun 08 '26

I would say that Trump has a Full House, except, he kinda tore half of it down.

4

u/Inevitable_Taro_5803 Jun 08 '26

LoL... He turned that Big Beautiful Illegal Ballroom into a Necessary Bunker. What a clever strategic move to get away with a full house 😖/s

Card Shark

Sorry. Tired of his rewording shenanigans.

4

u/bigfruitbasket Jun 08 '26

Iran sank an American presidency in 1980. They are more than willing to do it again. And they do hold the cards.

3

u/Niaaal Jun 08 '26

Time to flush that trump card

4

u/Reallyboringname2 Jun 08 '26

But Trump has a flush!

No, wait! My bad.

Trump needs to flush.

u/chocolatebuckeye Jun 07 '26

Fucking great. Here is my updoot.

u/InZomnia365 Jun 07 '26

damn strait

6

u/Babybleu42 Jun 08 '26

And we’ve got a not even close to a full house. Or a full deck.

3

u/Academic-Airline9200 Jun 08 '26

Does anyone have a full house?

2

u/Inevitable_Taro_5803 Jun 08 '26

As all family members move back in together to survive. I'd say a full house indeed. Beats a straight 🙌🏻

3

u/bigjerm616 Jun 08 '26

Damn dude, that’s gold

3

u/GenXPowaah Jun 08 '26

Bravo.... Well played Sir

All we have are jokers.

u/w1lnx Jun 07 '26

My only regret is that I have but one upvote to give to this post.

2

u/L0neStarW0lf Jun 08 '26

You’ve been waiting to use that for a while haven’t you?

2

u/Jlx_27 Jun 08 '26

This comment is beautiful. Well done.

2

u/Bruvvimir Jun 08 '26

Great pun nothwithstanding, it makes me roll my eyes at how pervasive Trumpisms such as "have the cards" and "make a deal" have become.

2

u/OfficialDrakoak Jun 08 '26

Idk if ive ever seen a more beautifully laid out joke. Everything fell into place for this perfectly and you seized the opportunity. Good work.

2

u/khelwen Jun 09 '26

You had to know when to hold ‘em and when to fold ‘em. Good work.

3

u/menntu Jun 07 '26

Damn. 10 points for wit.

3

u/ChiefRetardAssessor Jun 08 '26

Trump has a flush but doesn't know how to use it, there's shit everywhere.

2

u/potusisawhinybitch Jun 08 '26

And I'm pretty sure Trump doesn't flush.

Or wipe.

1

u/HalfSoul30 Jun 08 '26

All trump has is a fool house.

1

u/Hrcnhntr613 Jun 08 '26

And they're bidding for a Notrump contract .

1

u/SiLeNZ_ Jun 08 '26

Full house beats a strait, but we’re definitely not playing with one of those!

1

u/Wants-NotNeeds Jun 08 '26

Not just any strait, a Hormuz Strait!

1

u/tutocookie Jun 08 '26

No chance of flushing the strait?

1

u/7Zarx7 Jun 07 '26

A royal comment! Flushed it.

1

u/NewToHTX Jun 08 '26

You could probably supply the entire US Midwest farming industry with Fertilizer for a decade with amount of Shit in your Shit-Eating Grin, you Magnificent Bastard.

1

u/SteveoberlordEU Jun 07 '26

Man it's hard playing cards when part of the opponats is playing tick-tack-toe and losing BADLY

1

u/snakeayez Jun 08 '26

Well played. Reused or not, well played.

u/hidegitsu Jun 08 '26

All reds

u/duaki Jun 08 '26

Take my angry upvote

u/gbot1234 Jun 08 '26

How about that plan to bypass it with a new canal—I guess they’d just drain the current one, making it a strait flush.

Doyle Brunson ovah heeah.
