Trump on Warsh: He’s got a hostile board.

Reporter: He said it was the right decision and responsible decision for these interest hikes.

Q: Do you acknowledge that they’re raising rates to bring down prices because of the war in Iran?

Trump: No, they’re doing it to make Trump do as bad as possible. The problem we have is we have the greatest economy in history. pic.twitter.com/wBVMePsuVX

Puffery? Or dementia? Two conditions that often appear alike.

Can do.

Because that will help the GOP in November. “Elect us so we can let Trump do whatever he wants. Including burn the U.S. economy to the ground.”

Trump on Iran: That war is going to end very soon. You watch. Trump was right about everything. They want to make a deal so badly. They called. We could have a deal anytime we want. pic.twitter.com/Lz3Fatz5xQ

So he’s keeping it going even though it’s raising gas prices (and the price of everything else)?

Yup. That’s what he’s doing. The price is low for him; we buy his gas. Remember: he’s on the ballot.

Trump: Venezuela… We're taking out millions and millions of barrels of oil.,. to the victor belong the spoils. You watch what’s going to happen in Iran. It’s going to be a really good conclusion. pic.twitter.com/OWMIrs7qPQ

Someday, maybe; but not anytime soon. They told GOP reps the Venezuelan crude was going to be traded for sweet light, which is much easier to refine. Wonder how many barrels of that they have to give up for each barrel of sweet light? And does the U.S. have a contract with Chevron? Who’s bringing this oil to market and what are they getting paid? Is this supposed to “replace” the sweet light from the strategic reserve? Maybe in the long term it does something; but in the short term: nothing. And all of Trump’s jawboning won’t change that.

Which?

That makes one. (Smart people know “I.Q.” is a bogus concept. For starters.)

I just wanted to end on a legitimate laugh.😹
