Re: President Trump 2.0

Do you think maybe Trump (and his business partners) had it all worked out beforehand?

As Hugh says, some people are making a fortune out of the ups and downs of oil prices.

Trump ignored advice about the consequences of the attacks, so he knew the probable outcome.

Then starts releasing 'tweets' that infer 'we've won' . . 'no we haven't' . . 'we've destroyed their missiles' . . 'oh, we haven't' . . 'we've lifted embargoes on oil tankers' . . 'we're gonna defend the Strait of Hormuz' . . 'erm, we need help' . . 'we've now done a deal with Iran' . . . .

Odd when you think the USA is a major importer of oil . . and its price swings
