I think Trump is headed for a rubber room...

His paranoid schizophrenia is on full view.

And some in the right-wing believe him, of course.

Right-Wing Media Promote Another Trump Conspiracy: Oil Edition

June 14, 2012 1:30 pm ET by Shauna Theel

Donald Trump recently declared on CNBC that "Saudi Arabia is doing Obama a big fat favor" by increasing oil production in order to bring gasoline prices down, and that if Obama is re-elected the "favor will be repaid many times over." Fox Nation took this conspiracy even further, calling it a "SECRET SAUDI OIL DEAL TO WIN REELECTION"; Real Clear Politics, Breitbart.com, and Newsmax also promoted Trump's comments.

1. And if oil prices were high

Trump would be blaming it on Obama too. He's going to have something negative to say no matter what.

Who would've thought that oil prices declining would be spun into a bad thing by the GOP?

[Politicalboi]

2. Faux should know

A Saudi owns part of them. So I guess Citizens United is Obama's plan to win re-election too.

3. he should have been locked in a padded room long ago.

4. Trump's mad b/c he went on record, saying prices would go up to $7 this summer.

5. Ding ding

We have a winner

[madashelltoo]

15. Naw. He's mad because the Supreme Court left him and his

Baggers hanging. Birth certificate fell. Gas prices fell. Gotta find a new picture to hang on that nail in the wall. Leave him alone, he will find something. You know it won't need to be fact based, so how hard can it be.

6. shame on cnbc for presenting trump as a spokesperson for anyfuckingthing

[Puzzledtraveller]

7. Add in his Miss USA pageant hulabaloo

and yeah, hes nuts. What a jerk anyway, threatens to sue the contestant that complaimed.

[ThomThom]

8. the perfect vice pres candidate

Isn't that what George did to get the price down, increase oil production with his close buds?

[Egalitarian Thug]

9. I want to know who let him out. n/t

[madmom]

10. Weren't they complaining about him not doing anything? Now that they think he

has the Saudi's pumping more they think it's a conspiracy!

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

11. Trump needs a big pair of shoes and a red rubber nose

He's already got the fright wig.

[EC]

12. Well, then gee whiz..

should we be glad he has such pull, he can get the price of gas down for us?

[yellowcanine]

13. It is nonsense but I suspect most Americans would say "good for him" so this might actually work

in Obama's favor if they make a big deal out of this.

[lpbk2713]

14. If Trump didn't have money he'd be committed by now.

When wealthy people act weird it's written off as them showing their "eccentricities" .

[On the Road]

16. Well, Did the Saudis Increase Production?

I don't see this as a far-fetched theory at all.

[bluesbassman]

17. No, they didn't.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- OPEC said it will leave its official production ceiling unchanged, dashing hopes for an official increase that could have sent crude prices lower.

At a regularly scheduled meeting in Vienna, the cartel will maintain its current production limit of 30 million barrels per day.

Comments from Saudi Arabia's oil minister earlier this week indicated the Saudis might push for an official increase in OPEC's production ceiling --possibly to 30.5 million barrels per day.

Such an increase would have had a largely psychological impact on prices. OPEC is already pumping roughly 32 million barrels per day as Libyan oil returns to market and the Saudis keep production high to offset any potential loss from sanctions on Iran. The world produced about 91 million barrels per day in May, according to the International Energy Agency.
