It'll be years before the US gets their hands on that oil, they can only sell the shipping containers they stole.
I wouldn't be surprised, also the rising oil prices help his friend Putin.
... some of his key economic accomplishments.
Name one there asshat journalist.
Also, keep in mind that a fat ego wounded animal and his psycho pack will be lashing out with this kind of news and respond with stuff like passing the SAVE act to save their own skins.
The economic accomplishment of helping the Warner Bros Discovery buyout to change how CNN reports on him: https://edition.cnn.com/2025/12/10/media/trump-cnn-sold-paramount-warner-bros-netflix
Regardless of what you think about him, gas prices have been great the last few months. That was like the only thing that was going well for him.
Gas prices affect literally everything else so we can expect costs for groceries to spike as well pretty soon.
Who would have guessed that invading another country with oil would help american oil prices...
He didn't have any economic accomplishments at home, so he doesn't have to worry about wiping said accomplishments out.
Minimum wage is seven bucks and change an hour; each of those "reasonable" Tomahawk missiles cost two million
so, no school lunches, times are tight
Just what did these nine dimensional chess players think was going to happen by doing Israel's bidding and attacking Iran?
you can bet Putin knew what would happen. Ca-chingski.
He has no economic accomplishments
Sure he does!
The man pissed through his $400 million dollar inheritance in just a few years, say what you want, that's impressive!
LOL, I know, right? I find it hilarious that the RWAs think that CNN is "liberal", LOL. Someone typed that up and expected people to take that sentence at face value.
Now now, he made quite a pretty penny on that crypto rug pull.
No one reads...
the reality that Donald Trump’s decision to wage war abroad threatens to wipe out some of his key economic accomplishments at home.
Jesus fucking christ, name ONE. And by name one, I specifically mean a net positive that would actually be reversed by this new negative, instead of just adding to the colossal overdraft of negatives already accruing on all our accounts.
$4.99 for 100ea on Etsy, showing as a 'hot' item and bestseller. I doubt we'll see them in the quantities we saw the Biden stickers but it's pretty funny.
Christ, I hope we see a lot more, given it'd actually be accurate in this case.
Ooo, I have a few left from the grocery hike, time to go dig 'em out.
I'd buy some if they added "along with many, many girls aged 12-14"
Here's some advice...
STOP POINTLESS WARS ASSHOLES.
For a party that campaigned on no WARS, they sure have started lots of them in various ways over the past year. Fucking moron pedophiles.
In our industrial era, infrastructure and trade are generally much more effective investments into prosperity than war.
But selfish greed is gonna do as selfish greed does...
But selfish greed is gonna do as selfish greed does...
For sure. Wealth disparity keeps the control and power among the few.
It's not pointless for Boeing, Northrup, Israel, and other "donors". They will make a KILLING
Oh right, sorry. How could I forget about the poor military industrial complex. My bad! They gotta eat!
Hey don't let Congress of the hook there, it's the congressional military industrial complex, to quote Eisenhower.
Well what the heck did ya think would happen dumdum
wipe out some of his key economic accomplishments at home.
Would that be devastating the economy though tariffs? Or devastating the economy through unemployment? Or devastating the economy through imprisoning our inexpensive labor force? Or devastating the economy through outright theft?
I think the word being sought was exacerbate.
war abroad threatens to ~~wipe out~~ exacerbate some of his key economic accomplishments at home
That reads much more accurate.
It's CNN; an Epstein-class owned propaganda operation. They are one of hundreds of domestic enemies Americans should do something about before their nazi party murders millions of people both at home and abroad.
Are the economic accomplishments on the room with us?
Well give him SOME credit, no other president has managed to cause this much economic damage to the US in this little time.
Bomb Exxon, you dumb twats.
I recently blocked a childhood friend on Facebook over this. They shared one of those stupid Biden stickers with a $5 a gallon price Tag.
Their point was, of course, the democrats made it worse than Trump ever did. I don't know how this happened. How people got so turned around. Arguing with him seemed pointless. Pointing out that Biden didn't do that. Pointing out that it's going to get worse. Pointing out that democrats in general are just status quo bitches...
I just blocked him. I can't fix whatever shit has pickled peoples brains.
We're living in the disinformation age, where people silo themselves in media, including news, that reinforces whatever they want to believe. Eventually their views will run into cold, hard reality, but even then some will continue to live in denial.
