That mullet, though. Looks like he wiped pisshands down the back of his head. So presidential.

Magical thinking is one of his super powers…

He isn’t terribly wrong. He starts a war and it jumps from 60 to 120. He says it’s over and it drops to 80. He says “just kidding” and it’s back to 100. Seems like he has it figured out.

In fairness to Trump, it’s not a completely insane thought. After all, his statements did appear to cause oil prices to drop, at least briefly.
The difference now is that investors and sellers have finally caught on to his bullshit.

You mean the same guy who genuinely believes his net worth fluctuates based on how he feels when reporting it on an official financial statement?
Yeah, that tracks.

I’m from the oil rich Canadian province of Alberta and we had a left wing premier for a couple years in the middle of decades of conservative premiers. People were saying how she controlled the price of oil and was keeping it low and I honestly think conservative voters thought it was true.

Trump doesn’t understand energy markets but to be fair he doesn’t really understand anything

The best way to deal with the cost of oil is a major national shift to Solar, Wind and even Nuclear, in some areas. We wont care about the price of oil if we create a society where its largely not needed.

Trump thinks?
RamonaQ-JunieB on
He also thinks he can declassify documents just by “thinking” about it, so there’s that. He’s nuts.

Price controls are absolutely a thing…
He should maybe read up on how they tend to work out historically 🤣
Love to see how his thralls try to spin this as a win for free markets

Can he magically disappear himself for good?

He’s just going to rename oil to “Trump” hoping people talk about peak Trump.

I heard they actually removed the gas price controller from the oval office desk when clearing out Biden’s stuff. They cut the wires that ran directly to the oil price control board.
When I say “they” I mean those lefty lunatics collecting paychecks from George Soros.

It’s funny how many republicans I know that think that Biden actually set the price for gas himself, like he had a phone on his desk and just called “the gas station department” and set the price. I suspect that Trump is in that same boat, he honestly believes that he can just bleat out prices on truth social and that’s that.
People who don’t know that commodities and futures are sold on a bid/ask market, should probably STFU about the pricing of these commodities.

He’s used to having tantrums and ordering people to do the impossible to feel better. (See also: The Devil Wears Prada.) Problem is he doesn’t control all of the people serving as variables in the oil equation.

we should actually start a class-action lawsuit against the oil companies. raising the oil prices for their war! why is oil going up when we don’t get it from there? oh sure, they’re doing it so we have more gas for cheap.

We can only hope no one suggests P-Diddy knows about Baby Oil to the President, or else there could be a pardon with the goal of letting P-Diddy be in charge of fixing the Oil problem./s

No, he doesn’t… however, he has sold out to SA and prob at least the UAE. They DO control oil prices to a certain extent. Between the 3 of them,,, that’s a LOT of oil to control so yes they can and have affected fuel prices.

About 70 million America (at least) think that too. How we let that idiotic country lead the world is crazy. I hope this time we learned our lesson.
