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.
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.
