Trump says U.S. will ‘make a lot of money’ from higher oil prices
The Washington Times ^ | March 12, 2026 | Tom Howell Jr

President Trump said Thursday there is an upside to rising oil prices as a result of the war against Iran — the U.S. will make money as a major producer.

Mr. Trump, posting on Truth Social, was responding to oil prices that flirted with $100 per barrel as Tehran clamped down on tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, where about 20% of the world’s oil supply transits.

“The United States is the largest Oil Producer in the World, by far, so when oil prices go up, we make a lot of money,” Mr. Trump posted.

Mr. Trump’s post on Thursday attempted to put a positive spin on the rapid rise in oil prices as global supply dwindles. At the same time, Mr. Trump has said the increase in oil prices is a natural byproduct of the war that will ease soon.

The best way to make money is to deal in oil or make weaponry. The endless wars are too tempting. A few people get very very wealthy.

Biden had no mind.

Trump has lost his.

Like one of his professors had supposed to have said. Donald Trump was the most dumb student he ever had in his classes.

Just another carnival barker blowing smoke up everybody’s backside.

We have freepers actually rooting for the US to fail, and the left to win. I’m glad that Jim doesn’t have to see these scum on his site.

And the banksters who have been financing both sides of numerous wars for over 100 years.

As General Smedley Butler said, “War is a racket” and there will always be a lot of money on the table for the Military-Industrial Complex to get their grubby little hands on.

Here is the difference between me and you. If President Trump was hard on Israel, I would still Bach him, because defeating the leftist scum here is THE MOST IMPORTANT TO ME.
