President Trump's 2nd Term.

In Two Days, Trump Answered More Reporter
Questions Than Biden Did In Four Years
– And Without A Cheat Sheet

Issues & Insights, by Editorial Board

 

OK, we admit, we haven’t actually counted the number of reporters’ questions President Donald Trump has answered since being sworn in. And four years is certainly an exaggeration. In any case, someone covering the White House should keep track, because it won’t take long for Trump to beat Biden on this score. Biden held the fewest number of press conferences of any modern president. He would answer questions only from pre-selected reporters. He had to have a cheat sheet with him at all times to give his answers, and even then the White House would often have to rush out to correct the record.

Huh?  I can't find a single reference of seal being used as a racial slur?  Is this some stupid attempt at calling any POC who likes trump a racist, because she fully explained it was because he had been against trump for so long.  You might want to tell Rusty, that she only named Snoop personally, so his "black entertainers" was the only race baiting I can find here.  If your intent is to spread misinformation/clickbait, like NC, then you are definitely doing it right.  

 

Really really need it explained to you? No wonder the Left voted for Kamala. lol.

Yes, please explain.  Also, please explain why instead of putting Snoop Dog, they put "black entertainers" if it's not for race baiting purposes.  Let's not worry about Kamala and "the left" right now.  You have all day to do that.

Ok, just finished watching Fox Business, and it was about how drill baby drill is going to work.  Somehow, they're going to get oil companies to drill for oil to make it cheaper.  Outside of a subsidy, they have no incentive to do that if it doesn't increase their profits.  They're already sitting on tons of permits, and our oil production is already very high, not to mention how we'd refine more crude anyways.  Anyhow, this 'supposed' oil is going to come online in 12-18 months, which will allow the fed to reduce interest rates, because lower oil prices are supposed to lower inflation worries.  This is going to spark the economy, and......  They stopped there.  Does anyone else have a clue, besides drill baby drill, how he plans to drive down prices?  As much as I didn't like Kamala, she actually did have some ideas(I know I know she was already VP, so why didn't she run the country then), but this isn't about her.  She's gone.  What's trump plan?  Or even his concept of a plan?  Tax cuts, that will force(lol) the wealthy to invest in an economy that's pretty much at full employment already?  That ain't gonna work folks.  Got anything else?

Ok, now let's look at trump's history at oil prices.  When he became president, oil was $33.  In 2 short years, he got it up to $74(well over double).  Then he pulled a shady move, which we're going to be paying for now-I'll explain later.  For those without a memory, here's what happened in 2018:

 

Earlier this year, the Trump administration vowed to zero out Iranian oil exports. That tough stance on Iran sanctions lifted prices dramatically.

Under pressure from Trump, Saudi Arabia ramped up production to an all-time high. That’s critical because Saudi Arabia is like the central bank of oil. It’s the world’s largest exporter and the only country with the ability to significantly ramp up output. Russia and the United States also accelerated production.

But the Trump administration shocked the oil market earlier this month by taking a softer approach on Iran. Temporary waivers were granted, allowing India, China and other countries to keep buying crude from Iran.

The Iran headfake left the oil market suddenly facing a potential supply glut. OPEC is now under pressure to significantly cut output at next month’s meeting in Vienna to help put a floor beneath the market.

 

When it all balanced out, after his sheisty play, it went back up to $54, more than 50% what it was just 3 years earlier when he was elected.  Then Covid hit, and well, he blundered that too.  He threatened our alliance with Saudi Arabia, by removing military aid, if they didn't cut production.  Now, he's asking the Saudi's for a hand.  Too bad he already burnt that bridge.  Twice.

Let’s play your media game this one time - the first link that comes up from your cut and paste is from CNN.
 

Oh, lol, the same CNN just found liable for defamation this week? The same CNN that had to pony up to the mean white boy from Kentucky? That CNN? Lol at maga/gqp/etc. 

 

Why is it your habit not to link to your source material?

I Know CNN is heavily slanted, too.  Everyone knows that.  Which particular part of the cut and paste are you in disagreement with?  If I posted a CNN link, would it have made you tryst them more?  You seem to like to play whatabout A LOT.  Let's just try to stick to the posts, and not so much the posters.  I'd like to add one last thing about media.  Sometimes you're forced into certain ones, because the other ones won't cover certain things.  Like right now, I'm tuning to CNN to get info on the NJ raid, because I know Fox is just trying to destroy Newsom right now.

Why do you chose to cut and paste and not share where it came from?

If anyone need to, they can do just like you did.  I do it all the time.  Copy and paste is our friend.  If anything, posting the link will create a bias before they even(or if they even) read it, and also decrease their will to believe it.  As long as It's factual, you have nothing to worry about. 

Back to oil prices:

 

 

 

Back to oil prices:

 

Oil weakened on Thursday after Trump said he would ask Saudi Arabia and OPEC to bring down oil prices during comments delivered remotely to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

 

But one analyst on Friday pointed out that Trump will need to choose between two conflicting goals he has for the energy market — he’ll have to choose between a lower oil price or higher domestic crude volume — because “he can’t have both,” Manish Raj, managing director at Velandera Energy Partners, told MarketWatch Friday.

 

trump thinks they're so dumb, that he can play OPEC against domestic producers.  People he has already screwed over more than once.  The guy is a clown.

“One way to stop it quickly is for OPEC to stop making so much money," Trump told reporters. “So, OPEC ought to get on the ball and drop the price of oil. And that war will stop right away.”

 

COMPLETE DUNCE, and I'm loving that he has no one around him brave enough to fill him in on it, because you all already knew who he was.  Hate Kamala too, but you're getting what you paid for here AS ADVERTISED. 

 

So the plan to end the Ukraine war is free oil for the world, until it hurts Russia enough to quit, and Saudi Arabia is paying for it.  Seriously, that's what we were all waiting for?
