As far as I'm concerned, there are three things that can take down Trump. A legitimate scandal with actual evidence, Trump not living up to the promises he made to his base, and a poor performing economy.

Higher gas prices not only hit hard but engender anger and finding someone to blame.

If oil prices rise will the MSM and Democrats try to pin it on Trumps' polices?

That's a good one, almost had me.

[nikos1121]

We are producing more oil than ever. Why should prices go up?

[Buckeye McFrog]

If some volcano erupts in Malaysia the Democrats will try and blame it on Trump’s policies.

Its’ who they are. It’s what they do.

Beware of hyperventilating stories that were planted by commodities traders.

[central_va]

Put back on the oil export ban.

[G Larry]

No.

There's $100 bbl ceiling built in by the markets, given current U.S. production levels.

Iran can supply China, who, in turn, can assist with their refining shortfall.

[Dr. Sivana]

Refineries across the world are having to recalibrate to produce low-sulphur diesel to meet new environmental regulations, prompting shortages that can push prices up.

If we were really talking about $400/barrel oil, the environmental regulations would be tolled in enough parts of the world that it would not be $400/barrel.

[mad_as_he$$]

Doom porn. It is illogical that the price of crude will skyrocket because there is a production shortage of diesel.

[SkyDancer]

They don’t have that claim that Bush’s oil buddies are profiting.

[RoseofTexas]

I see..just substitute the NYslimes and Washington COMpost with The Hill...ALL FAKENEWS all of the time!!

[CodeToad]

I guess you didn’t see that Trump got the Keystone and other pipelines moving.

Obama is the one that thwarted energy production.

Trump is correcting Obama’s terrible anti-Energy actions.

I notice you're always posting articles from that site. I tend not to take their articles too seriously.
Since the advent of fracking and other technologies, there is a ceiling on barrel prices.
Maybe the author can do an article on how (enter Trump policy here) is driving up pork bellies.

"Could oil prices skyrocket to $200 a barrel … or more"

Liberal scare tactics leading up to an election.

[Mr. K]

not with us producing our own.

[Mr. K]

Close down the gulf oil traffic through the strait and watch how fast things get very bad for you...

[Mr. K]

They could.

Or... they could not.

This is ‘news’?

[Mr. K]

Could Obama cause WW3?

Could Comey cause political prisoners to be jailed?

Could Loretta Lynch secretly destroy the justice system?

Could HilLIARy’s fat ass farts increase global warming?

I like this game

[FLT-bird]

Given steadily rising US oil and gas production? No.

Want to see investment and production in the US really explode? $100/barrel oil would do it. There’s effectively an upper cap on prices given North American production growth.

[I want the USA back]

“could.” Meaningless word. The Moon could fly out of its orbit and destroy the Earth.

[Gay State Conservative]

This 9th Century pig fornicating knuckledragger seems to have the ability to bring the economies of the industrialized nations to their knees.

Just in case he does we,the United States of America,should light them up at the first sign that they plan to do so.

[Obadiah]

Veteran oil market-watcher Philip K. Verleger released a report from his firm, PKVerleger LLC, anticipating oil prices at $200, with the possibility of a surge to $400 per barrel, in the next 12 to 18 months.

Hmmm... how much does PKVerleger LLC have invested in oil futures?
