Oil prices are at the highest level in 16 years! [View all]

Well, Trump always says “in a couple of weeks”?

It sure did not take two weeks for him to drive oil prices up to 16 years high, only a week! And that only the beginning, we are now going to see just how high they will go, because of Trump’s illegitimate war!

In an interview with Dana Bash of CNN, Trump says that he doesn’t care and the prices will come down when ends the war with Iran.

With that being a stated in an ignorant statement, he doesn’t want to talk about what is doing to the world economy, let alone the US economic issues. He has no moral compass and has no interest whatsoever with his own people.

We all know his motives and agendas are not for the people rather to line his pockets and line the pockets of his rich oligarchs.

The problem with this, is we are the ones who foot the bill most. Groceries and other products will rise even higher, but he and buddies don’t even care. Profit is all they see.

The Senate tried to pass a bill to eliminate sale tax on oil and gas for the duration of this war. Guess who voted against it? That’s right, GOBers did! They say that they are tried of Trump, yet they fall in line every time they see power!

MIDTERMS folks!
