Look I get it, in NORMAL conditions, you are correct... any regular president that engages in normal parameters (and that already includes the standard corruption baked into the system) you are correct. There is little they can do to move inflation, reduce prices, etc

Explain it to me, how does declaring war on Iran and the very predictable closure of the Strait of Hormuz, has no bearings on the heighten price of oil and therefore oil derivatives
