    Of course, he’s an agent of influence, Putin’s running dog tasked to just run the US to the ground.

    I would be impressed this is a 4D chess move to stop reliance on oil countries and adopt green tech without angrying his base. But unfortunately this is probably just an old man that is suffering dementia.

      No, he doesn’t care because big oil companies are raking in extra revenue from the oil crisis. Selling less for more is apparently good for business.

    Tbh, I’m not so concerned about myself. But the effect of higher gas prices tends to be very regressive. People who have less means often have to drive less fuel-efficient vehicles and have longer commutes due to housing costs. Additionally, this is going to affect the cost of other things (e.g. food).

    People who are already stressed financially are going to really feel the squeeze.

      That’s not a bug, but a feature. It means more money flows from poor Americans – often POC or immigrants, who Trump despises – to his already filthy rich friends in the oil biz.

    He’s a secret stooge of the environmentalist movement and this is his endgame to kill the internal combustion engine. Wake up, sheeple!

      He has a whole country to pay for his gas… imagine how great that’s be if you were the biggest douche in the universe?

      I sort of wish South Park would redo that episode with Trump instead cause he definitely beat out John Edwards. Could even just be a cut and paste for the most part, slightly different dialogue. Then a short live action apology with Matt and Trey saying hiow sorry they were that they didn’t realize there was such a better candidate when they first aired it and how much Trump is so much douchier than their original winner. Fuck even top it off with a cheesy gold paint sprayed award sent to acknowledge his accomplishments.

    It will when some down-on-their-luck working man gets fed up and shoots him over it.

    It’s pretty great that they’re already in full hubris mode cos that usually kills the facade really quick for normies
