He does not care about oil prices. He's trading and therefore manipulating the stock market for quick high profits. For himself. That's all that matters to him.

To be fair, most conservatives since forever have believed that the president really does have some sort of magic oil price controller. That's why they bought so many of those, "I did that!" stickers of Biden and stuck them to gas pumps everywhere.

The president doesn't have a magical power to reduce gas prices but I do believe Trump has proven that a president does have the power to make them go up. Drastically.

The stock markets are legalized gambling for the poor and a wealth transfer to the richest, because they own the house and the house always wins. That's why we no longer have employer fed pension funds and our retirement funding (which should be paid by taxes, like everything else in a sane, first world nation), like health care, depends on it. Eat. The. Rich.

He still can, he just has to keep fucking up diplomatic relations, and it can climb as high as he wants.

So did lots of ppl who think the president controls oil pricing directly during Obama and Biden. Wonder how they all feel now.

He can control it, it’s just that control comes from publicly lying and it’s short lived.

He doesn’t mind that, he and his shitty friends buy the dip and then short sell for billions

He thinks a lot of things lately, just not exactly successful, though.
