Trump's Hot Take: The Skyrocketing Price Of Gas Is Basically Patriotism Tax
Donald J. Trump is masterfully applying his signature "let's make everything more expensive" strategy, this time to oil — you know, the same genius approach that worked so beautifully on his health insurance plan, which never came to fruition. Nothing says "winning" like U.S. crude oil skyrocketing. Why should anyone settle for just any record when they can shatter the biggest weekly gain in the entire history of futures contracts, going all the way back to 1983? Truly, nobody makes prices soar like Trump. Nobody.
Grocery prices continue to rise, our healthcare system is in the shitter, the housing crisis is becoming more crisis-y, and now oil, but as Trump tells it on Truth Social, it's "a very small price to pay" for his Iran-Epstein War. MAGA!
"Short term oil prices, which will drop rapidly when the destruction of the Iran nuclear threat is over, is a very small price to pay for U.S.A., and World, Safety and Peace," Trump wrote. "ONLY FOOLS WOULD THINK DIFFERENTLY! President DJT"
