Well, I don't think that anyone can deny that Donald Trump is at least a little fiery...
Here is a short transcript:
Trump- Did you see recently where, a couple of days ago, Saudia Arabia said, "Let's raise the price, let's cut back production?" Can you believe it? You're gonna be paying $5 and $6 a gallon for gasoline pretty soon... and they wanna go in and raise the price of oil because we have nobody in Washington that sits back and said 'you're not going to raise that f***ing price! Do you understand me?'
[Followed by loud applause]

How about Trump saying we’re going to drill, drill, drill and you all can drink your oil for all we care.
Part of me agrees.
Part of me says “screw diplomacy. We need a brash asskicker.”
Donald “Herbert Hoover” Trump
The royal family is fabulously rich and doesn’t have to sell the US one more barrel EVER. We need to DRILL for our OWN oil, not try hurling insults in exchange for someone else’s.
And what if they don’t? Trump is a grandstanding rabble rouser. The better approach would be to return to our status as a net exporter of both coal and oil and let the Arabs look for new markets. As long as we leave it in the ground our under our seas we wil be at the mercy of I’ll-willed despot who wish us harm and destruction whether they be muslim trawl or Chavez-like marxists.
Drill here, drill now,
Yeah trump would say that and the Saudis would tell little Donald to take a hike and that would be the end of it. He won’t be able to fire the Chinese and the Saudis or order them about. Especially when the US is a major cause for increased oil prices due to problems with the dollar and restrictions on drilling.
What trump should be saying is that obama is the cause of high oil prices and describe how his energy plan would be different. However I am not sure he has a plan or a clue.
This guy is a blithering idiot.
In the REAL world, you don’t simply tell off other sovereign countries and, guess what Donald, you can’t just fire them, either.
Every day, he sounds more and more like the drunk at the end of the bar offering his solutions for all the problems of the world.
The fact that ANYONE could seriously consider voting for this narcissistic bullsh*tter scares the hell out of me.
GOOD someone needs to get angry!
We are on the wrong path and we need someone with fire in their belly. Our Republic will go down the tubes if we continue to be soft and gentle. McCain type speak is too weak for the path we are on... Hell we can’t even get Washington to stop their increase spending every year and you want to tone down the talk? Civil talk has gotten us no where! The mark of strong and free Republic is vigorous debate. Quit worrying about Political Correctness B.S.
Now just because I said that does not mean I like the F Bomb from our leaders. I think they are better words Trump can choose. Nevertheless, I still someone that will stand up and get in the face of the leftist before they tear our Republic apart. I’m glad someone has some fire in their gut.
Oh, really, Donald? And if they DO, your response to that will be... more bloviating.
Get off the stage, you self-worshipping, arrogant, bloated POS.
Like Donald actually believes that would work or that is how the whole market works.
He is only playing to the crowd that wants to hear this, regardless of reality.
I want to hear him say how he is going to open up the rest of America to drilling, open up our vast shale deposits in the Green River formation, encourage coal to liquid, natural gas to liquid, etc...
Trump knows the business aspects.
But he’s capturing the mood of the country. We don’t need a p*ssy like Obama out apologizing to the world and bowing to people. We’re America. We kick ass and take names.
Smart move (yet another) from Trump.
Unfortunately, most loud-mouthed populist types like Trump don't have a plan. He knows what has people pissed off right now and his bellowing (insincere as it is) scratches an itch for a lot of us. He gets what he craves over anything else in this world -- attention.
Like Howard Dean did on the dems' side, he'll dry up and blow away in time.
No, not quite.
The top 10 countries we get oil from, are:
1. Canada
2. Mexico
3. Saudi Arabia
4. Venezuela
5. Nigeria
6. Angola
7. Iraq
8. Algeria
9. United Kingdom
10. Brazil
And how much military support does the USA give them? Without the USA proping up the King; everything will collapse. This puts us in a position to negotiate; one that we have not used.
To which the guys at OPEC will reply (in a slightly more mature and diplomatic fashion) “You’re not the boss of us!”
