Trump has been saying get tough with the Saudi’s on oil for years. This is not a new position for him. I have seen him discuss it previously. I totally agree with him. I would tell the King of Saudi Arabia to give us a discount on oil or next time his little regime is in trouble lose our phone number.
We were supposed to get discount oil from Iraq as a payback for liberating them from Hussein. Then all of a sudden that deal went away. We should get reimbursed for at least a portion of our outlay on that war. After all we have done and lost lives in Iraq I do not want to see Iran taking over those oil fields as soon as we leave.
With $1.5 trillion in repayment from Iraq we could repay the entire $950 billion we owe the Chinese and still go out to dinner.
Those who Trump dislikes are those who got the best of him in a deal.
That would include the Saudi’s and the Chinese.
He will not admit his failing. Being a Manhattan New Yorker he is best of best in the world. They surely showed him to be wrong and he hates them for it.
Off the island........ he is out of his league
Neither are his past socialist positions for ‘single payer’ Canadian style health care or a wealth tax. Then there was his made up Royal Rumble feud with Vince McMahan on WWF Wrestling, or his feud with Rosie on The View. Oh, and he supported Obama’s economic plan till the economy tanked again.
OK, so you actually believe that a president Trump is going to wave his magic wand and command the Saudi’s to lower world old prices (for just us apparently) just because he says he can? Just like he beat Vince McMahan on the WWF Wrestling show. I got news for you. Trump is play acting for suckers that still believe Santa is coming down the chimney.
