The derps are in on this Iran oil tanker hostage thing. Hold oil hostage, causing a scarcity, oil prices go sky high, affects citizen’s finances, economy starts to tank right before 2020 campaign.
I have a dumb question. If the US is energy efficient and we are the world’s oil exporter, why can’t the US set the price of a gallon of gas?

Could work in Europe, China... not here. We are the number one producer of fossil fuel energy in the world with surplus supplies --- AND, the barrel price of oil is going down somewhat right now.
We will see. No doubt the DS has a plan to attempt to tank the market next year - shout how DJT's economy is a house of cards, etc.
