"EVERYONE, KEEP OIL PRICES DOWN. I'M WATCHING! YOU'RE PLAYING RIGHT INTO THE HANDS OF THE ENEMY. DON'T DO IT! [View all]
what an incompetent, dumb, brain drained asswipe:
President Donald Trump issued a broad warning to "KEEP OIL PRICES DOWN" after his strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, and urged his administration's energy department to "DRILL, BABY, DRILL."
"EVERYONE, KEEP OIL PRICES DOWN. I'M WATCHING! YOU'RE PLAYING RIGHT INTO THE HANDS OF THE ENEMY. DON'T DO IT!" Trump posted on Truth Social on Monday morning.
Trump followed up with an urgent appeal to get America's domestic oil and gas supply flowing: "To The Department of Energy: DRILL, BABY, DRILL!!! And I mean NOW!
The Iranians have touted the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a key commercial shipping channel through which a significant portion of the world's oil supply passes daily, as a potential retaliation for the strikes. Iran is a major oil producer and would also suffer from a closure.
A spike in oil prices would likely feed back into higher inflation for American consumers, a potentially big political problem for Trump, who ran on a campaign to cool prices.
