    Trump obviously doesn’t understand artificial demand, and demand pricing. The only way to guarantee consumers are going to pay a low baseline price is for the government to offset that price difference so that Big Oil can still make the graph go up.

    Well that, or regulate them, but that’s socialism communism deranged leftist talk. /s

      Maybe the plan is to invade Gaza, get the Arabs to pull another Oil Boycott, and then use the chaos to get more American oil.

      It’s so crazy, it might just work.

        The Gulfies and the Saudis don’t give a shit about the Palestinians. In fact, they hate them as a threat to their despotisms.
