Now THAT’S what I’m talkin’ about.
Stable Genius.
USA - there you have it, a Man that is President and believes in business and the euro folks / customers will be happy with lower prices.
Why not flood the U.S. to deter the ever-increasing price here?
Due to good old-fashioned Capitalism, the old oil cartel doesn’t work anymore. The price controls will collapse soon enough as each of these countries start to cheat and sell at lower prices to compete with the Americans. Then we’ll have even lower prices. But if the Dems had their way and fracking was shut down, the cartel probably could have raised prices.
Add 1 to 2 million bpd to our 10 million if Trump can restart Alaska production.
Respectful disagreement. This is the mere conduct of an economic-based foreign policy with America First as its guiding principle. Revenge is just a bonus. (H/T Sundance at Conservative Treehouse)
Trump’s promises regarding oil and natural gas output during the campaign, combined with his promise to ramp up our defense spending and readiness, should have made it obvious to any thinking individual that Trump was not in Russia’s pocket in any way - quite the opposite, actually. Frankly, the fact that Hillary had pretty much the opposite position on both of these issues should have likewise proven that she was in Russia’s pocket, even if unwittingly.
The simple fact is that Russia’s economy has not changed much since that of the old Soviet Union in the 1980s. They are heavily dependent upon foreign currency earnings from the sale of oil and natural gas prop up their economy, to the tune of about two-thirds of their foreign currency earnings. Getting the price of oil down and ramping up defence spending where the twin pillars of Reagan’s and Bill Casey’s plan to destroy the Soviet Union by making its economy collapse. Putin is keenly aware of what happened in the 1980s, and is just as keenly aware that Trump was basically planning to do the same thing. Add to that the fact that Russia had the goods on Hillary with the whole Uranium One deal, and you have the truth being 180° different from the narrative of the Democrat party and the media (but I repeat myself).
FYI, it is my belief that Hillary was not cooperating with the Russians with regard to her anti-fossil fuels position. That had much more to do with both kowtowing to the radical environmentalists, and (much more) with keeping the price of oil high so that her Middle Eastern benefactors would keep the “contributions” flowing to the Clinton Foundation during her presidency. The simple fact is that Hillary Clinton is for Hillary Clinton, and really couldn’t give a damn about anybody else or any ideology. Yes, she is a radical leftist, but that has much more to do with making it easy for her to obtain money and power than any sincere belief system.
That’s nice. Meanwhile the price of a gallon of gas has gone up in my neighborhood. A few cents shy of $3/gal now.
The Obama Economy finally kicking into gear. Snort!
Yes exporting a good you don’t produce enough of domestically... what a win (rolling eyes).
Gas is up and going to continue to domestically.
Sorry folks, but this one isn’t a win.
I am much more interested in keeping USA gasoline and diesel prices low. It is OK to manipulate the rest of the world, but not at the expense of Americans.
Oh, happy days! Another win for America thanks to President Trump.
Folks here need to check why gas is going up a bit...REFINERIES are switching gasoline mixtures....as required by law. Crude oil prices have been fairly stable.
So what about the rising prices in the US?
So...we’re exporting oil to Europe at the lower West Texas Intermediate price and importing oil from Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Venezuela, etc.at the higher Brent price?
Having natural resources, to use and sell, is always going to be foundational.
Fool me once same on you Fool Me Twice Shame On ME !
So I may not be the shiniest apple in the barrel BUT...
Somebody seems to be asking me to totally suspend my cognitive intelligence. Wait a Minute here .... So there is enough USA OIL to “flood” the market in Europe BUT , not enough USA OIL to produce a low cost retail consumer gasoline in the USA .... This is total B.S. ... Hay Mister Trump, stop flooding The Eastern Hemisphere with USA Oil , and start giving your loyal taxpaying patriot Voting Public a FUQing Break ... do they really expect us to believe all this rubbish and still expect us to once again swallow #3 dollar (plus) a gallon prices , USA OIL corporations are not only gouging US , but they have the out N’ out affrontary to run this Bull Sheet Down our Throats ? Trump is in bed with Oil , he looks like a whore
