We will do whatever it takes to support our greatest ally. Willing to cost Americans thousands and get overrun by Democrats if that's what it takes. There is nothing we wouldn't do for them.

Plus, Democrats could be useful when the bombing is over and its time to funnel billions to Blackrock and NGOs for reconstruction of the Middle East. Could be good for our greatest ally so maybe we should support that, too.

Most people are concerned with finances and person situation. They don’t care if Iran has a nuclear weapon

People who voted for Trump because he promised lower fuel prices will act like your’re weak because you’re complaining about higher fuel prices

My brother owns a logistics(semis) company. He showed me a receipt for 908 bucks to fill one of his trucks(over a 150 gallons to fill it) where fuel was over 6 bucks a gallon

Fuel prices go up, inbound/outbound becomes more expensive.

Only if they win the midterms Then Trump can say we’ll blame it on the dems. It’s just another carrot he is putting in front of the uneducated group that he targeted to make his coalition

That only makes sense if you know practically nothing about US intracountry logistics.

Obviously trains are more efficient but don't they also run on diesel?

Trump starting to lose support with all this BS tariffs, war etc... We voted for him to get the nation back on track and he is not doing that currently. I would never get in bed with any liberal/Dem but Trump needs to get back to topic at hand with gas/food prices going even higher than when he was elected is not helping.

New refineries have been permitted for years, not enough demand for the products. It takes 40 years to payoff a refinery.

And the political attention span of the US population can be measured in minutes.

When its such a political football, with a 40 year payoff, who the hell is going to invest in that? The next president might EO you into oblivion. ExxonMobil isnt risking that kind of money for an uncertain return.

Trump will also elect a democratic president in 2028 that will make Biden look like a RINO.
