We Will All Be Expected To Say “Thank You, President Trump!”

Levin: They don't get the benefits of this war either. I don't know what the president has in mind with respect to this oil but I don't think it should just flow freely to Britain, freely to France and so forth and so on. pic.twitter.com/3DxuGHqOAT

Pretty sure they’ll all pay the market price for it. Which is higher than it should be, thanks to Trump.

I guess Britain and France should tell Trump “Thank you”?

Wouldn’t matter;

Trump does not connect actions he takes on one day to events that occur weeks later. Allied leaders know that if they help him in the Persian Gulf, he won't be grateful, or even remember. https://t.co/T41LaJfTWa

So Orange Caligula started a new war in the Middle East against Iran, then lifted sanctions on Russian and Iranian oil because Iranian retaliation caused global oil prices to spike.

Oil prices are still most likely to lead quickly to that off ramp. Although he’s going to be disappointed when oil prices don’t drop to prewar levels immediately.

Waltz: And what I love about President Trump is he is seeking to end these wars, to tell hard truths, to demand that we share the burden with our allies and to finally bring peace pic.twitter.com/ppWZx16ovP
