President Donald Trump tried to argue that the surging cost of oil due to his war in Iran was actually a good thing, while Americans see skyrocketing prices at the pump.
The president took to Truth Social on Thursday with the bonkers claim after prices surged again as Iran warned oil could reach $200 a barrel.
“The United States is the largest Oil Producer in the World, by far, so when oil prices go up, we make a lot of money,” Trump declared. “BUT, of far greater interest and importance to me, as President, is stoping [sic] an evil Empire, Iran, from having Nuclear Weapons, and destroying the Middle East and, indeed, the World. I won’t ever let that happen!”
