Everything Trump has done has been turned upside down. No mistake.

Hasn’t California ALREADY outlawed the use of fossil fuels? How come they are anchored of Long Beach? Shouldn’t they be entering the harbors of eastern China and offloading there?

I understand the Chinese still use fossil fuels, but unfortunately they have been relying on Iran, which is teetering on the edge of economic collapse. All this Saudi oil would be a godsend to the Chinese.

Not so much for the people of California.

Time for tariffs on foreign oil.

And time for President Trump to move this economy along. By end of the month country will need dates that are sooner than later.

He bought the country time, now we have to deal with the consequences of our actions with Communist China.

It’s the Saudis trying to break our fuel industry so we’ll have to buy from them. All the while we protect their worthless asses with our military.

You’re right. Most that I could make out were riding high.

I know very little about oil business. Is this oil already paid for? Could we buy it at a bargain rate and fill our strategic reserves?
