The Trump Energy Crisis

I’ve been fair to Donald Trump.

Last year, I am sure those of you in the comments will recall that I gave him credit for a few accomplishments: bringing down illegal immigration, low gas prices and avoiding a war with Iran. Even though I saw it coming this year, I never imagined that it would be this bad.

In the span of a week, Trump has started a regional war for Israel and has gotten all our bases in the Middle East blown up by Iran. He has spiked the global price of oil over $100 a barrel. Oil futures were trading at $119 a barrel when I went to sleep last night. Bitcoin, silver, gold, global stock markets are crashing. Middle Eastern countries like Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain and Qatar are cutting oil and natural gas production.

Trump is crashing the global economy, losing a war against Iran and probably destroying the petrodollar by proving we don’t have the ability to protect our Gulf allies. He did it all for Israel.

    • US dead are clearly higher than reported. Watch for “accidents” of all kinds: plane crashes, car crashes, medical incidents, injuries sustained at work, etc. – such as this report. Yes the Iranians are naturally inflating the figures for Murika and Israhell. As Churchill spilled the beans (probably drunk at the time): The first casualty of war is the truth. – and that was back in the “good old days”.

  2. The above:
    “Frank McCormick
    The U.S. gets 10% of its oil from the Middle East.
    China gets 55%.”

    Total BS, China gets the great bulk of its oil from Russia. Something on the order of 12% comes from the Mideast.

  3. The crypto collapse can’t fully be blamed on trump. Munger and Buffett have been warning for years that cryptocurrency is trash, there’s nothing backing them.

    Who wants an empty token without substance?

    There are now tokens backed by gold , silver and the Swiss Franc. Why would anyone want a nothing token ?

  5. I’m doing a brisk business selling Trump “I Did That” stickers on ebay to slap on gas pumps like the T-Tards used to do with the Sleepy Joe ones.

  6. Trump doesn’t get it. If an American high school kid in the 70’s can build a nuclear reactor from junk yard scrap, and was working on a nuclear bomb when discovered. The Iranian engineers can surely build a bomb!

  9. Iran lacks the power to directly engage US forces as things stand. So their only option now is to keep shooting at soft targets. Either they kill enemy civilians and vital infrastructure, or they eat up countermunitions and set up future strikes to be more effective.

    I don’t think there’s any way to “win” this war without destroying the vital industry of that whole region. Make sure you stock your chest freezers before the economic crisis REALLY begins.

  10. Britain threw away a vast Empire to rescue a few million Jews in Poland. The US is now throwing away an Empire to rescue 6,000,000 Jews in Palestine.
