Trump Dpt of Energy Releasing 53 Million Barrels of Oil

The U.S. Department of Energy announced on Monday plans to release more than 53 million barrels of crude oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

The oil will be released on loan to multiple energy companies in an effort to ease global markets that have been unstable since the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran on Feb. 28, triggering a war and escalating tensions in the Middle East.

I seem to remember posters here acting like Biden's releases of oil from the SPR was a desperate move of a weak POTUS.

Now the MaStEr NeGoShEeAtOrz POTUS is dumping oil left and right to try and cover for his colossal blunder in Iran.

Between the intentional hiring of incompetent, unqualified sycophants for leadership positions and being a s*&^ty fake bithnithman himself, Trump is f*&^ing this country seven ways from Sunday.

And the idiots still continue to support him no matter what.

On loan? So they don't even have to pay for it?
