“EVERYONE, KEEP OIL PRICES DOWN. I’M WATCHING! YOU’RE PLAYING RIGHT INTO THE HANDS OF THE ENEMY. DON’T DO IT!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Monday, warning the market for the commodity they’ll be very sorry for adhering to the basic laws of supply and demand.
The very Communist-ish shitpost was then followed by “To The Department of Energy: DRILL, BABY, DRILL!!! And I mean NOW!!!” as though US oil production isn’t already at historic highs and that new production of currently untapped reservoirs could be brought online “NOW!!!” and not on the scale of years normally required in the complex and highly work-intensive practices in the industry.
Also noticeable is this particular pattern with the fat bastard, like when he freaked out at Walmart for warning they were going to have to raise prices because of his moronic trade war with China, that he just melts the fuck down when confronted with the consequences for his actions.
CNBC reports the Chicoms are thrilled by the possibility the Iranians could blockade the Strait of Hormuz, writing the Xi Regime thinks “oil chokepoints squeeze the US more than it hurts Beijing.”
