President Trump shrugged off rising gasoline worries Thursday, even as war with Iran rages. From Air Force One, he touted plentiful oil worldwide, foreseeing no enduring price crisis.
He portrayed the strikes as a long-awaited ‘tiny operation,’ chiding past presidents for lacking guts. ‘No concern over oil prices here,’ Trump declared, anticipating market rebounds post-initial bumps.
Domestic and global stockpiles provide a safety net, he stressed, amid regional chaos. Ready to intervene if pressed, options include strategic reserve draws. Trump ripped prior admins for emptying US emergency oil to lows, pledging refills ahead.
For Hormuz disruptions, his response was casual: ‘Ships do what they want.’ Iran’s navy? ‘Totally wiped out, on the ocean bottom,’ he said.
This reflects Trump’s high-stakes gamble: neutralize Iran fast, trust markets to self-correct, leveraging America’s energy edge for ultimate win.
