Joke Of The Week

Our Dear Donny has voiced his disdain over the huge profits the oil companies have been making……are you kidding me?

President Trump is publicly turning on two of his staunchest industry allies. On Monday, he slammed Exxon Mobil and Chevron for “making too much money” as drivers face gasoline prices averaging about $4.10 a gallon, up from under $3 before US and Israeli strikes on Iran earlier this year, reports Politico. “They’re going to give some of that back to the public,” he said, per CNBC, “and they better cut the retail price, the consumer price.”

“Based on a shortage, they’re making too much money,” Trump said Monday. “I don’t like it, and I should be the last one to say because I’m a big free enterprise guy—nobody bigger.” Both oil giants just posted massive quarterly results, helped by higher crude prices and fat refining margins. Their CEOs warned that limited refining capacity could keep fuel costs elevated into the fall. Chevron declined to comment, while Exxon didn’t respond to a request for comment. The American Petroleum Institute said prices reflect global supply, demand, and geopolitical tensions, not “any one company.” Trump has already ordered a DOJ probe into why prices aren’t falling faster.

Yes that is a joke.

The dimwit does not realize that his indecision and vocal bullshit is what has lead to these huge profits.

His ill-conceived war with Iran has allowed these mega corporations to do as they please when it comes to the price of gas.

Apparently no one in his cabinet has the balls to tell this mental midget what is causing these huge profits.

A stable genius my old ass!

  1. We have BP and Shell doubling profits in the UK, and not passing on anything to hard-pressed petrol and diesel buying domestic consumers. Instead, they pay their shareholders obscene dividends. The working people are being played, by being told that the attacks on Iran are forcing up oil prices. It is all a lie , perpetrated by the likes of Trump and his business partner cronies, and all of the international corporations.
    Best wishes, Pete.
