When even the traditional villains – the oil barons – don't trust your plans, you know you're a special kind of villain.

That's interesting. Trump didn't have investors on board BEFORE he went in? He informed them of him doing it, I suspect so they would start making bids and now this tells me he made the necessary environment and said "ok, gimme your offers."

Trump knows that the US is an oil producing nation that will not benefit from increasing the supply of available oil, right?

Like, its not hard for EXXON to get oil in the US. We already have a shit ton of it. Dumping more on the market isn't going to do anything but devalue the shit we already have.

Yeah, he already did his "drill as much as want" policy when he took office, and they all said "nah, we're good".

But dementia pedo couldn't remember that

Hey, we don't really want anything to do with what you're doing.

Oh yeah? Well now you can't come!
