How about this: lower oil prices will lead to job losses among US oil producers.
Did you know that Houston is the energy capital of the world?
I have heard that. This was artfully illustrated in the 1980 film "Urban Cowboy", where the protagonist, Bud Davis, moves to the Houston area to get a refinery job.
Trump via CNN: “We’re negotiating with many countries but at the end of this I’ll set my own deals because I set the deal, they don’t set the deal, I set the deal,” he told reporters Sunday. “This is not like a big deal that’s gonna be signed — in some cases we’ll sign them, but we don’t have to sign them. I’ll be setting the deal, I’ll be setting the tariff.”
- Infrastructure plan.
- Health care plan.
- Paying for the wall.
- Ukraine.
- Gaza.
- INFLATION. I say again, INFLATION.
- Trade deals.
You Trumpers ain't all that good with pattern recognition, eh ??
OPEC+ is boosting output and looks to finally be following through on Saudi threats to (once again) claw back market share from US frackers. Lower energy prices will help counter some (relatively small amount) of the inflation that will come with Trump's tariffs. But price shocks in the oil markets hit frackers hard, even after years of consolidation in the industry and huge advances in efficiency from the days of the fracking crash in 2015. And Trump's tariffs will hit US frackers because the industry is dependent on oil field pipe from China and other countries that are subject to tariffs.
The US fracking industry is one of the biggest employers providing very well paying jobs to people in rural areas where the big shale formations are producing. If people making $90-120k working on oil platforms in ND, TX, AR, PA, etc. suddenly are out of work as frackers scale back operations, Trump will not be able to blame Biden or neo-liberal trade policies.
Bolded text is complete and utter nonsense.
True! Trump will always find a way to blame Biden.

Precious Roy - we love your posts but can we possibly get the Cliffs Notes version of your posts?
I know, right?
Two short paragraphs is WAY to much to read and comprehend.
Maybe if PR could sum it up in one juvenile cartoon that would be more comprehensible to you, Sally.

Does Trump blame Biden for nasty sh**s he takes in the WH?

Not only that, one of the great drummers and singers of the rock era, Levon Helm, once quit rock and roll to go work on an oil platform.

Roughnecks saved the world from an apocalypse. They made a documentary about it. Very high production values.

Not sure what my preferred response is? Options:
1) Self-contradicting, because if you always get to set the terms in the end, why would you bother "negotiating" in the first place?
2) His book must have been really short. "In negotiations, you always win. You always have 100% of the leverage. It's super easy. The End."
3) Reality: "I'm Donald Trump, and while it's true that I've come THIS close to destroying the American experiment, I ALSO think that I have the same power over the rest of the world. I've 'won' in America, so why wouldn't I win everywhere else, and easily?"
Small consolation to watch him get destroyed by the rest of the world. I'll do my best to enjoy it, and I'm optimistic.

True story - the refinery where they filmed the movie - my dad was the president of that company. He came in early one day and asked if I wanted to go to the filming but I was hungover and declined. My little brother went and met John Travolta and was in the movie but his appearance was cut from the final movie.

Totally made up story, but totally consistent with the Trump hero cartoons from Sally. Most guys would have gone with the "Hooked up with Debra Winger" lie.
But.....nope, it's Travolta. Of course it is.
And that Scott Glenn was quite the stud, too, eh Sally ??

That crap about "deals that don't have to be signed" means he's figured out that international trade deals are things that get signed and are public, and since he has precisely ZERO of them done and probably very few, if any, in the works, he'll have to lie (what's new) and claim they exist but "aren't signed."
And the cult members will believe and repeat it.
But it's OK... like everything you listed, he'll get it done "on day one" or "in two weeks," I'm sure.
Again, imagine the bright foreign student who wants to come here this Fall.
If the foreign student doesn't plan on engaging in woke protests, he'll have no problem and won't be deported.
No. He/she absolutely won't get on the plane in the first place. Guaranteed, in a WHOLE lot of cases. Unlike you (or who you pretend to be), they can watch reliable sources of news and draw REALLY EASY conclusions about what America currently is.

And an astronaut, too!
Not made up at all. I got a job at the refinery at age 16 and all I did was sit on a truck with a fire extinguisher at my side to watch for fires. I got paid about $50 in todays dollars. As a high school kid that was pretty good.
