Played that game with the tariffs and slowly the masses caught on. Bit harder trying to sell higher gas prices to the average joe as a positive.
Imagine if sleepy Joe said this…. ?
He really is so out of touch with reality now.

The US can do well out of jacking up oil prices globally, especially if it damages countries like China. I suspect this is why they seem unconcerned about Hormuz: it's a benefit of the war.
I don't know how much of your thoughts are correct but there's something there possibly. Trump has done what other presidents know (and want) needs to be done when you have a major country funding terrorist organizations and spreading fear and radicalism throughout the entire region.

The main reason these other presidents didn't want to do what he's done though is their fear of the Strait being used a s a pinch point by Iran...which they're doing and will affect oil transportation. And it's not "see? this is really about war for oil!!!" The truth is our entire society on earth is about oil. Every industry runs on oil or because of oil.

Not forgetting several billion other people who drive cars and farm equipment and a few thousand hospitals worldwide and then there is the small matter if industry, aviation, transport and a hundred other things.

So, a handful of US oil companies may benefit financially. As is their due, according to some words written a year ago -

"A report released earlier this week estimates that fossil fuel industry interests spent nearly $450 million during the 2024 election cycle on campaign donations, lobbying, and other efforts to bolster U.S. President Donald Trump, his Republican allies, and policies that benefit oil and gas corporations.

That investment “is already paying off,”

Er, yes. Sweet.

You are a liar.
Can you explain why you want to release oil from the emergency reserve?
Lord, protect the American people from this person.

If by we you mean the royal we.

The US does actually export less oil than both Saudi Arabia and Russia. You are right, coming third is nothing to write home about.

It's all relative - if you take some action that hurts everybody economically but you are hurt the least then you are the winner from a political point of view. Edit: potentially at least, there might be other consequences.

They can use the spike in oil prices to engage in zero-sum economic games: like taking market share from China.

Trump didn't mention exports in his tweet, he said we are the LARGEST OIL PRODUCER IN THE WORLD, and he is correct. Reading comprehension is not your stronghold.

"Your" refineries, on average, use like 15% of shale oil (the one you extract) and the rest is imported. "You" have to pay for that sour crude, would've been nice to have good ties with canada right now huh.

I simply don't understand how the US is with people like this at the top of the world, do you know that China, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and many other countries have 70% of the population that needs oil, every shortfall in global production raises the price of oil, the demand is huge, especially in that part of the world and oil is jumping, which creates huge inflation, and you say how much oil there is now, that has nothing to do with ordinary citizens of the world because it increases transportation to be twice as expensive, so that everything that cost 1 dollar will cost 2 dollars, demand in the world determines the price, not how much who has.
