Trump goes FULL PANIC with INSANE announcement

As oil prices continue to surge to. levels not seen in years as the direct. result of Trump's war with Iran, he took. to social to try and rewrite history. with a rose-colored glasses. announcement. He said, quote, short-term. oil prices, which will drop rapidly when. the destruction of the Iran nuclear. threat is over, is a very small price to. pay for USA and world safety and peace. Only fools would think differently, President DJT. Now, remember that Donald. Trump quite literally campaigned by. saying this. >> I will unleash energy independence and.

we will bring the price of gasoline down. immediately. So, we're going to get your. gas prices down. And we will, ready? Drill, baby, drill. >> [cheering]. >> Going to get your energy well way down. You're going to spend a lot less money. for your. for your gasoline. You have that special. stuff. We will unleash American energy. and bring prices way down fast. He also. campaigned by saying this. I'm not going. to start a war, I'm going to stop wars. No more wars, no more disruptions. We.

will have prosperity and we will have. peace. Under Trump, we will have no more. wars, no more disruptions, and we will. have prosperity and peace for all. I am. the candidate of peace. I am peace. So, I want to make sure that I have this. correct. Trump spent every day on the. campaign trail vowing to lower gas. prices if he became president. He also. vowed that the era of forever wars in. the Middle East would be over. So, he. wins the election, he immediately. launches a new war in the Middle East,

which in turn causes oil prices to spike. to levels not seen in years, which in. turn makes gas prices go higher. In. fact, take a look at the surging cost of. oil right now. It's hit well over $100. per barrel. The Wall Street Journal, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch, not. exactly a crunchy liberal, has called. this the quote most severe energy crisis. since the 1970s. All of which would be bad enough on its. own. But, remember, this is all an. unforced error. This did not have to. happen. Even the Trump administration.

concedes that no attack by Iran on the. United States was in the works, which. means Donald Trump just made the. voluntary choice to plunge us into a war. and usher in an energy crisis that. otherwise, had he not acted, simply. would have been avoided. I've said in the past that presidents. are generally not responsible for high. gas prices or low gas prices. When gas. prices rose under Biden, it was the. result of a combination of external. factors, the post-pandemic demand surge. after the economy finally reopened, global inflation, which increased the.

overall cost of fuel, and Russia's. invasion of Ukraine, which tightened the. global oil supply. Would those have been. different under a different president? Unlikely. But still, Biden took the. blame because presidents take the blame, but the reality is that he had. essentially no impact. Just like again, presidents rarely impact the actual. price of oil. But this, right now, is a. rare occasion where high gas prices are. actually the direct direct result of a. president. Without Trump, again, this. would not have happened. It only.

happened because Trump decided that he. wanted it to. Oil prices spiking is the. fault of one person and one person. alone. Which is normally the kind of. thing that Republicans have a short fuse. about. After all, these people are. straight-up willing to sacrifice the. global climate if it means they can fill. up their tank for a few bucks less. And. yet, shockingly, they've now taken quite. the forgiving position. >> This is a short-term disruption for the. long-term gain. >> Short-term pain for the long-term gain.

>> Short-term pain be for long-term gain. >> We're going to have some short-term pain. with long-term gain. >> Short-term pay for a long-term gain. >> Some short-term pain, yes, but we've got. some long-term gain. Short-term spike. for a long-term gain. >> Some short-term pain for American. consumers. We may have to deal with that. in the short term. >> Short-term and temporary. >> Temporary short-term pain. >> It's going to suck in the short-term. >> Some short-term pain. >> short-term pain. >> We have to focus on the short-term. >> short-term. >> short-term.

>> short-term. >> short-term and long-term. >> short-term that. >> Hopefully, this is a short-term pain. >> Short-term is highly outweighed of the. long-term benefits. >> some short-term pain for the long-term. gain. >> short-term sacrifice for a long-term. gain. >> Quote, short-term pain for long-term. gain. This coming from the political. party that called Democrats Nazis for. asking people to wear a mask for a. couple of weeks to stop a global. pandemic. I mean, my god, you would. think that epidemiologists asked. everyone to give up an arm. They.

vilified Dr. Fauci and continue to to. this day because of that exact reason. Because he asked people to sacrifice not. wearing a mask for a week. And yet, now. we have these same people who watched. Donald Trump break all of his promises. and unilaterally plunge us into a war he. promised he wouldn't do and usher in. high gas prices that he promised would. go down. And the result of all of that, they're asking for grace. It would. almost be funny if it wasn't so. incredibly hypocritical.

And speaking of COVID, here's another. comparison we should draw. While Donald. Trump predicts now that quote, short-term oil prices will drop rapidly, only fools would think differently, think back to what Donald Trump said in. 2020 after the first COVID case. Quote, we have it totally under control. It's. one person coming in from China and we. have it under control. It's going to be. just fine. And then, um, correct me if. I'm wrong, but didn't a million people. die after that? Which is to say, I'm not. exactly sure Trump is your guy when it. comes to predicting the future.

Especially when it's his governance that. will guide what that future looks like. The reality is that Donald Trump. breaking his promises on lower gas. prices is a feature, not a bug of this. administration. You can add that to a. long and growing list of broken promises. at the hands of a president who has made. a habit of stringing his supporters. along for the entirety of his political. career. In his first term, he promised. an infrastructure law that never. materialized, a healthcare plan that was. cheaper and more comprehensive that. never materialized, a middle-class tax.

cut that never materialized, a jobs boom. that never materialized, a manufacturing. renaissance that never materialized. Then in this term, he's did the same. done the same thing, promising reduced. costs and cheaper groceries and lower. rent and justice when it comes to. Epstein's victims and accountability. when it comes to his criminal. associates, but he is not delivering on. any of those things. The only thing he's. actually done in both terms is give a. tax cut to himself and his rich pals. That's it. I don't know how to make this.

any clearer. He does not give a. about you. He never did. He just says. things that people want to hear, but he. never delivers. His entire presidency is. a graveyard of broken promises. He. didn't end the Russia-Ukraine war, didn't lower prices on day one, didn't. bring down inflation, didn't release the. Epstein files, didn't usher in a. manufacturing renaissance, and guess. what? He won't because those are just. things he said to get your votes. And. now that he's got them, he doesn't need. you anymore. Now it's about him. Now. it's about his legacy. Now it's about.

his headlines. Trump's presidency isn't. about serving anyone other than himself. And at this point, it's all but. impossible not to recognize that. And look, there will of course be those. who opt to believe Trump. And if you. want to be fooled for the millionth. time, that's your prerogative. But for. those die-hard Trump supporters out. there, I just have one request. Think about the point of putting this. guy in office. Was it for you to. sacrifice for him or for him to work for. you? Because thus far, the sacrifices. are only going in one direction. His net.

worth is $4 billion higher in the last. year. And you, you're stuck with gas. prices that are rising faster than ever. before in living memory. If you want a. king who demands slavish devotion to. him, that's what you've got. But if you. want someone who is actually going to. hold true to his word, not to forget. about the little guy, the working class. guy, then you might want to take a long. hard look in the mirror and ask yourself. if that's what you've got right now. Because the truth is that we all know. the answer to that question.
