BTW, trouble in the Gulf means higher oil prices. Big trouble in the Gulf means skyrocketing oil prices.

Skyrocketing oil prices means a slowing of our economy. Perhaps even the threat of a recession.

That (a recession or the threat thereof) gives the Democrats fodder for their 2020 campaign.

All this stuff is linked together.
