      “Gas is too expensive bro!”

      “Just stop oil bro!”

      “Why is Trump lowering the price of oil bro?!?!?11!?”

    2. Obvious fabrication This is like 2/3 of the daily demand for diesel in the US, it is about 2.2 million barrels and the US uses about 3.7 million barrels a day. He cannot not even lie credibly.

      If you ever wanted a quite literal definition of a drop in the ocean.

      If we assume “tons” are actually barrels, and the rest of that story is true the total commitment is literally about a week’s supply – for the US alone. So much winning!

    4. Trump’s post (actually just a little above this one on my timeline) says 3,000,000 tons.

      Edit: it’s 300,000 tons initially.

      So what happens if the Ukrainians make a nice size hole on the underside of those tankers? I am assuming this will be transported from somewhere around Vladivostok, that will be a reach for Ukraine. But, when has that stopped them.

    6. God he’s a fucking idiot.

      He’s burning the reputation of this country to the ground in order to make money and keep power.

      I’d bet that he’d lift sanctions on Cuba if he thought Cuban cigar prices dropping could get him enough votes to win.
