Huh? Is Trump worried about Obama targeting him for some scrutiny?

KING: We're back with Donald Trump. His book, "Think Like a Champion,"
...
TRUP: When the economy starts getting better, you will have an OPEC problem. They'll just start raising the price of oil again and destroy the economy... I also happen to think that $150 oil destroyed the world economically.
And as soon as the world comes back, OPEC will raise its ugly head and destroy it again. So somebody better sit -- and I hope it's our president -- somebody better sit down with OPEC right now and say, "Listen, we're going to straighten this mess out, but you're not going to destroy it for us again."
KING: But you're not going to march with the tea party?
TRUMP: I don't march with the tea party. But I'll tell you what, they have a good point, because when you see the kind of money that this country is -- to use a horrible expression, Larry, I know you've never heard this -- but that this country is pissing away, I can understand where they're coming from.
[...] Saddam Hussein did not knock down the World Trade Center. I could tell you another country that had a lot more to do with it that we don't do anything about.
KING: Which is?
TRUMP: You know who I'm talking about.
KING: Say it.
TRUMP: You know who I'm talking about?
Well, it seemed that all of the folks went back to Saudi Arabia... They put their wives on the planes. They all went back to Saudi Arabia.
KING: They got out fast.
All right, we...
TRUMP: And we -- we attack Iraq.

DRILL BABY DRILL
To hell with sitting down with OPEC, Venezuela and the rest of the despots.
Don’t forget inflation that’s coming
You got my enthusiastic vote. I am sure the supprt for drill-here rises.
Trump is a, self serving, all about me, individual. In a NY second He will be stepping on your head to get a nickel.
He is zer0’s boy. & that means - not ever to be trusted.
A liar, when his lip’s move, inspect.
AMEN!!
Trump is a lapdog for Obama. Not interested in anything he has to say...sorry.
He claims Bush should have gone after the Saudis? Yet he has billions of dollars invested in Dubai real estate. Is he nuts?
sw
I don’t always agree with the Donald, either, but I appreciate a man speaking his mind in a frank manner. He is bold, and I like that.
I believe your "mysterious entity" also had a hand in the price of oil. I'm not absolving OPEC, I think they're lower than snakes in the grass, but it was speculative, and I would argue not-market driven trading that ran up oil to the price it reached. OPEC only had a marginal or peripheral role in the $4.25 a gallon gas.
As for the rest of Trump's rant, I still believe that there were elements of the Saudi Royal family that bank-rolled and knew of the coming 9/11 attacks. It's one of the few instances in which I take some umbrage with Bush and Cheney. I believe the Saudi connection was swept under the rug.
“Listen, we’re going to straighten this mess out, but you’re not going to destroy it for us again.”
And the Obama response is “Yeah dude, we’ve, like, got windmills and, like, mirrors, you know, and like we’re gonna be, like outa here, you know. But do you mind if I kiss your ring dude”?
Just a couple of months before 9/11, members of the Taliban visited Sugar Land, TX - home to oil corporate headquarters. It evidently did not end happily.
And remember April Glaspie's assurance to Saddam - that the United States had no interest if Iraq invaded Kuwait? She was tricked and furious.
What would happen if Alaska told the government to piss off and drilled in ANWR?
What are they going to do? Send in the Marines?
Yep, the Marines will provide security.
Of course, I didn’t like at all his “Bush-bashing”.
Huh? Is Trump worried about Obama targeting him for some scrutiny?
Yikes~! Trump needs a stronger hair spray............ OR a totally new do!
Well, WE should have kept the ownership of the Iraqi Oil fields too. But yeah, we should go and take over the Saudi Fields, because far too much of that oil money is fueling hatred worldwide.
Why should I listen to economic advise from the only person ever to have run a Casino into bankuptcy?
From April 17.
