Peter GleickMore evidence of the utter stupidity of Donald Trump.
1. He's panicking because he's just realized he'll be blamed for the rise in oil prices because he's illegally bombed Iran.
2. He doesn't know the Department of Energy doesn't drill for oil.
Dr. Seltsam 🌎🎶🌳@petergleick That guy is such a fracking idiot, unbelievable.
.vad//hakara🧭@petergleick Nobody tell him about Project Plowshare
Tim Ward ⭐🇪🇺🔶 #FBPE@petergleick Trump is doing far more to help the drive toward net zero than anyone could ever have expected him to.
Hunter King@petergleick to escape the consequences of your actions, one only needs to yell at them
Noortje Van Leeuwen@petergleick he also doesnt know Opec influences the oil prizes....
and oil companies want to make profits, so they will not " keep oil prices low" as that would cost em .
apftwb@Noortjevee @petergleick I'm always amazed that he thinks he can just ask the free market not to be profit motivated
@apftwb @petergleick
Exactly that... For a person who's Siccophant cultists claim is a shrewd businessman, he knows supprisingly little about business

. . . and lo,
the Department of Energy did stretch forth its hand, and did delve deep into the bowels of the earth; and it came to pass that the godly people of the United States were made to dwell in plenty, for they were blessed with dominion over their own oil, yea, with energy independence.
And the merchants of oil did keep their prices low, that the adversaries of the United States might not triumph.
Thus were the godly people of The US shielded full well from the travail, the sorrow, and the desolation which the God-King had wrought upon the Holy Land.

@dusk @petergleick ah yes...the book of Randicus
Molly Cantrell-Kraig 🇺🇦this made me literally bark out a staccato burst of laughter. Thank you.
Urzl@petergleick Capitalism was the system where the government tells all the businesses what to do with their prices, operations, etc. in a centrally planned way?
For some reason my notes from social studies said something different.
Phil@petergleick Looks like it's basically where it was pre-tarrifs? I guess his handlers in the oil industry are pleased.
Rüdiger Kladt@petergleick Dass der geistig unterbelichtet ist, wissen alle. Seinen Anhänger:innen ist das egal. Gleich und gleich gesellt sich gern. Und die Strippenzieher finden so eine Marionette geil.
Lyla Mehta@petergleick he’ll probably start another war & find another country to bomb or get ICE to unleash more madness
Ianto Jones@petergleick this is hilarious (outside of the whole "we're all on the same sinking ship" thing). Absolute moron with zero sense of reality.
Whispering Hek@petergleick the intended audience is his followers, and its a message they needed to hear. However effective, they see that he's fighting for them
Knut 🏳️🌈 🇳🇴🧸@petergleick I don't even look on Truth social to make sure this stuff is real anymore. If it sounds ass fucking bonkers...it's real. And it's from the leader of the free world.
aprilfollies@aprilfollies @petergleick I LOVE IT! I'm go start tagging all my trump toots that way.
Mistake not ...@petergleick the fact that his main problem seems to be the optics of his crime and not the punishment says all I need to know about the USA, insufferable treacherous non-entities *spit*
modris@petergleick Can anyone even begin to imagine what it was like growing up with this man as your father?
SaareMartha@petergleick
The US bombed Iran now because Taco=boy was humiliated by his horrible birthday parade, the millions turning out for No Kings Day and the way the other G7 readers disrespected him. He ordered the bombing to make himself feel powerful. It isn't gonna work.

They're going to legislate some useless oil responsibilities into the DoE just so that idiots like Trump look less stupid.

Also there's quite a time lag between starting to drill and gasoline appearing in gas stations.

nick@pthane @petergleick Not if you drill in the gas station.
Jeri DanskyTwo posts from Trump on TruthSocial:
1. To The Department of Energy: DRILL, BABY, DRILL!!! And I mean NOW!!!
2. posted 3 minutes earlier: EVERYONE, KEEP OIL PRICES DOWN. I'M WATCHING! YOU'RE PLAYING RIGHT INTO THE HANDS OF THE ENEMY. DON'T DO IT!
Steve Dallape ☑️ 🌎@petergleick Still mind-boggling to me that the supposed leader of the free world has absolutely no idea how the world he supposedly leads actually works.
bytebroErm, it's slightly mind-boggling to me, that ya'all have only just worked this out. Sheesh - we've been telling you since 2016, FFS.
javensbukan@petergleick This is the guy with the nuclear codes everyone, no need to worry.
I feel like we should probably be more worried about that, than idk, Iran?
This is truly the stupidest timeline.
GreengordonTo #Trump, EVERYONE is other rich and powerful people, in this case the Big Oil executives he solicited for funds.
"EVERYONE, KEEP OIL PRICES DOWN! IM WATCHING YOU!:
Cabbidges@petergleick
I love the "I'm watching", so what, oil prices going up and so are all other prices, and no it's not "wage led inflation", like everything else so far it's supply-side and price-gouging. Hiking interest rates won't help, but that's next.

@petergleick The champion of free markets doesn't understand free markets.
RRB@petergleick Nobody's told him yet that they manage our nuclear arsenal.
Probably better that way.
Don't you think?
@petergleick it almost looks like it worked tho 😂
@petergleick Hopefully the Department of the Interior was listening 😂

Gas is already inching up...

Chris Chen, Personal Meal Estate Corp@petergleick @igb oh god they're gonna frack with nukes
James Trickle uP@secretasianman @petergleick @igb That definitely works well at opening up fractures. What works less well is the gas/oil extracted tends to be radioactive.
KA4Peace@petergleick I wished he wasn't playing us so badly
Elric@petergleick He also seems to have forgotten about climate change. Again.
Phil Stevens 
@petergleick Well, it is the same putz who thought rivers in the Sierra Nevada drain into the Los Angeles basin. He is truly stupid.
