Donald Trump just total a huge lie about U.S. oil needs and production

One of the many things Donald Trump got wrong tonight during his campaign speech in New Hampshire was that the United States was desperate for oil. Trump's plan is to "bomb the oil fields" in Iraq and Iran, but the facts show how unnecessary that is.

Most of what he says is either a lie, or unintelligible.

They have pointed out many Chump lies. Think a politician lies a lot? Not nearly as much as a real estate mogul!

come up with a plan to invade two countries to steal their oil and think that was completely acceptable. The issue is not just the lie that he told, it is his belief that white people have a right to invade the countries of people of color. #DelusionalDonald

if he hadn't been born with a silver spoon in his mouth and a gold one up his ass he'd be flipping burgers or working at the car wash today.


Not to take from the people who actually flip burgers and work at a car wash, rather it was simply the first thing that came to mind. If I offended anyone with this My apologies and I promise to straighten up and fly right from here on out.
At least the rest of the day
