More fodder for Democrats' closing argument that the corrupt Malignant Fascist and his Epstein class billionaire buddies are getting rich while everyone else struggles:
President Donald Trump on Saturday used a portion of his midterm rally speech in Georgia to brag about the amount of money the U.S. is making off high oil prices.
Trump said that his advisors implored him not include the line in his speech, but clearly he did not listen.
“The United States oil and gas business is making hundreds of billions of dollars,” Trump said. “So, I said ‘I wonder if I should say this.’”
Trump went on to repeat this brag several times while predicting what the “fake news” would say about his remarks.
“I can just see the fake headlines,” Trump said. “’President Trump is talking about all the money they’re making while people are suffering at the pump.’ That’ll be the headline. But I said ‘I don’t give damn, I’m gonna say it: We’re making a frickin fortune.” [Ed. : Who's "we," you corrupt, venal grifter? Your contributors in the oil and gas business? You , to the tune of $4.4+ million?]
Trump has made a habit of including this brag in his stump speeches as of late. At a rally in Arizona on October 14, Trump said the “country is making more money than it’s ever made because of the fact that oil is so high.”
Trump’s remarks come just as Brent Crude oil, the global benchmark for oil prices, hit a nearly six-month high on Friday, rising to roughly $116 per barrel... (our emphasis)
Keep hitting the campaign trail, you cosseted sub-moron MF! And remember to always stress how "we" (you) are making a fortune on high oil prices, and that you're on the ballot!
