President Donald Trump insisted he loves inflation caused by his war in Iran and claimed he tanked the stock market on purpose.
“No, I love it – the numbers were great,” Trump said. “You know what I really love? I love the inflation. You know why? Because as soon as this war is over, you know, I can say it now, something you didn’t know. You know, we’ve been taking out millions of barrels of oil, nobody knows it. You know who doesn’t know about it? Iran, until right now we took out the other night 22 ships late at night with no lights because they don’t have any radar because we blasted the crap out of it. We took out, that’s why oil is $85 a barrel.”
$90 (as I post this) and none of that, as usual, makes a lick of sense. All I can glean from this word vomit is that he has no idea how the economy works, how it affects people, and more importantly, he doesn’t give a shit. He and his rich asshole cohorts stand to make money, and the rest of us can get fucked.
Par for the course in Trump world.
