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 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.
Best messaging ever
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.
LOL
And with that, the coach has lost the room.
Then go vote Democrat, schmuck.
The messaging needs to be 100 percent focused on how evil the Democrats are,
I'll take $1,000 for "Things That Never Happened", Alex.
The man took a bullet for America, while you at, fart around, and root against her.
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.
So did Ronald Reagan.
And Trump couldnt make a pimple on Ronald Reagans ass.
I really miss Jim. Still saddened by the loss of him.
