White House officials are bracing for oil prices to surge past the $150-a-barrel mark as the Iran war stretches into its second month and the Strait of Hormuz remains largely closed, according to a new report.

In recent weeks, the average cost of a barrel of crude has hovered around $100, a figure that the Trump administration now sees as the new “baseline,” though a potential spike to $200 hasn’t been ruled out, a source familiar with the matter told Politico.

As a result, officials have entered “all hands on deck” mode, urgently evaluating options to tame soaring oil prices — which pushed gas above $4 a gallon this week and risks inflating costs across the broader economy.

The only big difference between Adolf Hitler and Donald Trump is that Hitler didn't sexually abuse children.

Comparisons:

  • never drinks alcohol
  • tariff war which is worst for themselves
  • oil shortages by bad planning
  • declaring wars
  • stealing Nobel peace prize (was Goebbles, but whatever)
  • fucking up the economy
  • started a world war
  • is senile AF
  • blames minorities for everything
  • wants to get rid of minorities by any means necessary
  • doesn't care about rules or laws, human rights or war crimes
  • wants to build megalomaniac buildings
  • only recognizes self appointed judges
  • builds a close circle of radicalizedsidiots around him who can't day no to him
  • empoweres criminal enterprises, surrounds himself with and protects criminals, steals from the poor, creates a regime enriching itself illegally

Should I continue?

Hitler death: 4/30/45

Trump birth: 6/14/46

Certainly a case to be made for reincarnation.

[–] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Hitler's bday is also same as Napoleon's.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

No, it isn't. Hitler's is 4/20 and Napoleon's is 8/15.

Napoleon III was born 20-04-1808

There were more than one Napoleons.

Napoleon III, a descendant of Napoléon Bonaparte (Napoleon I), became France’s first President in 1848. After his four years term, he seized power through a Coup d'état in 1851 and became the country’s Emperor.

Birthday: april-20 1808

Birthplace: Ajaccio, France

Death Year: 1873

Age at death: 65 years old

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ah, so he was. However, if you just say "Napoleon" he's not the one that people will think you're referring to. That III is very important.

[–] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago

Yeah my bad. I only know it because a friend of mine has his bday that day and he always says it's the same bday as Hitler and Napoleon. I assumed he was right, I also just found out it was Napi III.

Hitler was vegetarian, he didn’t like aMcDonald’s.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

Solid list but a really obvious miss for me was amphetamine addiction

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 days ago

I believe Hitler had a thing for his underage niece.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

Except maybe his niece

[–] wuffah@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

Don’t forget the uncontrollable farting.

Hitler did speed and trump did cocain, he's probably on adderall now.

[–] Paddzr@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (3 children)

He doesn't drink? Really? I'm kinda surprised at that.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

His older brother, Fred, died of alcoholism related illness. If you believe Fred's daughter (the anti trump psychologist who wrote a book on her uncle) his alcoholism was a byproduct of the abusive household that they (Fred and Donald) grew up in.

Sobriety (alcohol) in response to that seems to be a rare bit of Donald making a wise choice, though it could easily be him attempting to one up his brother

[–] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Hitler never drank, and Trump can't drink because it would kill his only braincell. But he is also known to never, or rarely, drink alcohol.

[–] lemmyng@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

If that biopic of him was accurate, Trump can't even hold his liquor.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Trump's drug of choice is a drawer full of Sudafed.

[–] LittleBorat3@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

No braincells to spare
