Well... it's Trump... again. #47, here we go.

ban would drive prices up across the globe, make diesel prices drop in the US... but then pop back up to where they were.

Well he only needs the effect in the US to last a couple of weeks, if he times the ban for mid-October.

You don't seriously think that fucking up the entire world, including (or even particularly) the USA, would in any way give him pause in implementing a change that might slightly improve his party's performance in the mid-terms, do you?

I suspect that his base would be ecstatic at a sharp drop in diesel prices, and would utterly fail to heed any warnings about future prices, or about devastating effects on the US economy in the not-quite-as-short term.

The problem is diesel drops don't impact prices overall until later. They'd see diesel go down, maybe gasoline a little, unless nation's stop exporting crude to the US, but it wouldn't impact the wallets much. Heck, gasoline might even go up a little due to the refineries making less money diesel.

But they would see MAGA hats in their eyes, and they'd swoon!

^ THAT
President Fucktard doesn’t even care what he is remembered for. He dreads being forgotten. He wants to make sure it will take a long to un-re-name all the shit that says trump on it. Apparently he forgot what happened to Cape Kennedy 🫩
But at least fucking up the entire world includes a lot of things that are NOT EPSTEIN.

It doesn't need to be much, as long as they can fuel their outsized trucks and start rolling coal without going broke at the gas station, they won't even notice the price of eggs.

Even a halfwit retard knows better than to do something like that, I would've said in 2015.

It's not the mind-blowing unforced fuck up in Iran that's causing these problems. Rather, it's an administration that's been out of power for two years.

This^ is the playbook and always has been; always will be. The only surprising thing is that it's taken them so long to dust it off and bring it out to any significant degree with respect to the Iran debacle. Maybe the only thing that's been renewed is the gaslighting, which was a feature of his first administration. His second has consisted much more of not bothering to address any questions with more than, "Fuck off."
