And even dumber is that he's cheering on all these empty tankers coming here to take US producers oil. It drains our inventory, increases demand, and therefore raises prices even more. His student surrogate must have slept through all his econ classes in college...LOL

Also, we just had the largest one day draw from our SPR in history a few days ago.

We're still likely a month away from hitting peak from this debacle...and that's if things totally go back to pre-war status today. And that's not likely even possible with the losses of production in the ME and with Iran likely to control the SOH which they never did before this excursion.

This will go down as one of, if not the worst, presidential actions in US history.
