We moved more armaments to the gulf...that’s what.

For just a moment...given that Barry has seriously pissed off the oil companies and seriously limited their profit potential by refusing to build a pipeline, refusing to allow domestic production, etc...
Is it a stretch to think that maybe, just maybe, the oil companies themselves are holding the prices high----precisely because THEY want the sonofabitch gone in November more than anyone else?
but I think we have plenty of oil....we're just being suckered and there isn't a damn thing to do about it except pay them their dirty money...
