Judging by the hostile comments and downvotes the Trump dickriding has resumed.

This guy, with his ridiculous hubris and terrible leadership caused last week’s debacle. So now we get years of batshit crazy liberal Democrats in charge of Congress. This is squarely on Trump, not oil market manipulation etc

Doesn’t explain Abbott losing and the Texas Supreme Court turning left and majority women.

So people think the worldwide price of oil was manipulated to force trump to lose? Or for him to look bad so his party lost? Then after the election the price went down just to make Trump look bad.?

London by refusing to insure oil tankers in the strait of Hormuz even when we guaranteed naval escorts

You expected an insurance syndicate to take a $150 Million dollar risk on a tanker in an active shooting zone where vessels were being hit with missiles? Do you even think about what you are saying?

When the US first proposed the escorts I recall a proposal that the US agree to insure tankers passing with US escort. That did not happen. Not even the US would accept that risk, and we were escorting them.

The Trump cult may actually believe that the moon and the sun revolve around Trump. This is not surprising. That is how cults behave. When Trump tells them to jump into the Grand Canyon, we should just open the gates because jumping will be the last act of the cult.

Can you even define "deep state"? Deep state is a real thing, but I just want to know if you know what it is and if you know that DJT has deep state members in his cabinet.

Now what if I told you that historically oil prices tend to peak throughout the summer and then fall in November?

I would believe you. I am in the industry so I know this is true. Mostly due to usage and blends needed throughout the summer months.

That's a disingenuous comment. Love or hate him, you cannot deny that he has upset the apple cart.

Trump himself said as soon as the election was over the price of oil would drop (it has), inflation would begin to ease (starting.

How?
And be precise.
How has Trump, who has always been a globalist, upset some globalist apple cart?

So you think the disruption of international trade had nothing to do with crude prices and it was just a bunch of commodity traders out to get Trump? Why did so many nations release record amounts of reserves to try to mitigate the price increases if it was just globalist commodity traders out to get Trump anyway?


Agreed

Some people are so partisan that they either can’t see the factors that undermine their theory. Or they willingly ignore it

Not a suprise that a floor licking retard would respond thusly.

Basically, you have nothing is what you just said there Mr Retard.

Nah, I'm not going look stuff up. I think the burden of proof is on you here. The only globalist thing trump has done is attack Iran.

Im going to say that the rest of the world sky screaming orange man bad is enough evidence that he has upset the apple cart.

How exactly is burden of proof on someone who never made the claim? You said he was fighting globalists. I want to know how. You seem to have nothing, yet I am sure you will make the claim again.

As far as to how he is a globalist, all you have to do is look at his international business and property holdings. Hell look up the investment group Affinity Partners. See what it does and how DJT is tied to it(Affinity Partners is a big reason as to why there were riots in Albania btw). Trump has always been a globalist.

Hell, tUSA is built on globalism. We perfected that shite. You cannot go from 13 measley colonies to the greatest empire the world has ever seen, without being big time globalists. But somehow, globalism is a big boogeyman to you. Do you even know why?

This is not proof of anything. Absolutely nothing.

OK...well, point me in the right direction?

What landmark legislation has been signed and enacted?

Did he balance the budget? Reform entitlements? Get our deficit under control?

What major international crisis did he resolve? Hell, what major crisis, domestic or foreign, did he resolve?

All I am trying to point out is that Trump isn't nearly as revolutionary as some portray him to be. He didn't walk into the Temple and overturn the tables, he picked the coins off the floor.

He is an average to below average POTUS, whose "achievements" will be completely reversed when a Dem is elected.

Gas will be below 3.00 this evening in Corpus. I do think Scot Bessent has a duty here to follow the money and validate the existence of manipulation, or not.

Treson for manipulators if exists.

New rules for market operation in future if exists

Making sure that domestic producers pay an accurate tax, either exist or not
