Trump to Americans: You are not that important to me and oil wars make us rich [View all]

President Donald Trump sought to play down rising oil prices and market volatility tied to the conflict with Iran on Thursday, arguing the United States benefits when energy prices climb.

“The United States is the largest Oil Producer in the World, by far, so when oil prices go up, we make a lot of money. BUT, of far greater interest and importance to me, as President, is stoping an evil Empire, Iran, from having Nuclear Weapons, and destroying the Middle East and, indeed, the World,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.

Once again, Trump is paying attention to how much money his oil buddies will make and not to how much it will hurt ordinary people.
