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 Trumps illegitimate war!
In an interview with Dana Bash of CNN, Trump says that he doesnt care and the prices will come down when ends the war with Iran.
With that being a stated in an ignorant statement, he doesnt 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 dont 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? Thats right, GOBers did! They say that they are tried of Trump, yet they fall in line every time they see power!
MIDTERMS folks!

(2,488 posts)Sounds like a bumper sticker. He really doesnt care about anything but his own pocketbook and legacy. When the war ends? Its easy for someone who shits on a golden toilet to say wait til the end of the war but those of us in the real world that dont see a plan and see him pissing off everyone that can help us it doesnt put my mind at ease that is for sure.

(4,861 posts)far higher than the $80-ish they are today. That was only four years ago,
in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine and covid pandemic supply issues...
The chart on this page clearly shows it:

YES, they are now higher than they were before Trump's illegal attack on Iran,
and may get higher, but nowhere near "the highest in 16 years"---- at least, not yet!
It is the OTHER side which makes up their own facts
to back up their rhetorical excesses! Let's NOT be like them--
and avoid promoting very OBVIOUS falsehoods!
