Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    Just spoke to King Salman of Saudi Arabia and explained to him that, because of the turmoil & disfunction in Iran and Venezuela, I am asking that Saudi Arabia increase oil production, maybe up to 2,000,000 barrels, to make up the difference...Prices to high! He has agreed!

        One week ago Russia and OPEC decided to raise oil production to stabilize world markets. They have been working on this agreement for some time. After negotiations began, Trump began his impotent tweets. Both Russia & OPEC are openly mocking of Trump’s “influence.”

        I don’t understand why he didn’t just raise tariffs on oil to magically increase US production.

        Yeah, I’m sure King Salman needed Trump’s “explanation;” I’m sure that was a marvel of Trump’s breadth of knowledge of the global oil situation, leaps & bounds above The Idiot’s Guide to International Oil Trade.

        Notice the kindling for war in Venezuela? NPR did it too, some "commentator" on yesterday's ATC called the progressive Democrats the "Venezuelan wing" of the party. Watch as Venezuela is demonized and put on the "approved to hate" list of nations. :-(

        If there's a war or a US-backed coup then the Democrats will likely back Trump and call anyone who opposes it "unpatriotic." The AUMF being used to justify the endless GWOT can finally be updated, replaced with a fresh one for big Trump's war.

        Again, we go, hat in hand, trading away favors, to other countries, because we are utterly dependent on oil. When U.S. drilling is at historical highs. Yet they call us ‘energy independent’. No, it’s an energy monopoly. Oil has 92% market share in transportation.

        Remember when Bush asked the Saudis to do the same. He got a “no thanks”. Hmmm... wonder what changed?

        No market manipulation here or OPEC involvement for your Pres. How lovely to know singlehandedly he can move oil prices!
