A good post from Facebook.
The genius of Trump is best understood by looking at the sequence of events in reverse.
He knew that he needed to go after the Iranian regime, and that this would cause the Strait of Hormuz to shut down for some time, until the regime is totally dismantled, as well as the Houthis.
So he first goes after Maduro in Venezuela and gets control of the Venezuelan oil to keep our oil supply flowing. The Venezuelans already have international court judgements against them to the tune of tens of billions of dollars owed the US.
So, we get a regime change and a Venezuela strategically aligned with us ahead of commencing hostilities with Iran. This keeps critical oil flowing to the US during the hostilities, minimizing the economic impact, which keeps the nation from turning against the conflict.
At the same time, Russia and China are deprived of that foothold in our hemisphere, and deprived of Venezuelan oil, sold at deep discounts. Cuba is also denied a vital lifeline, and now the country is teetering on implosion. Russia and China are about to lose a foothold 90 miles from Florida.
And now that oil is no longer flowing from the Strait of Hormuz (also at fire sale prices) China is down a combined 15% of their vital supply. It also hurts China and Russia that we have been seizing the tankers they use in the black fleet, meant to circumvent sanctions.
Iran gets starved.
Russia gets starved.
China gets starved.
We have the flow of Venezuelan oil prepositioned before we fired a shot at Iran. And all of that in addition to Trump's restored flow of domestically sourced oil.
45 years ago my political science professor saw the vesting of the President with all the powers of Commander-in-Chief as a useless vestigial structure held over from when the Framers looked at George Washington and felt the two to resided harmoniously in him. He thought that there were no presidents really up to the task, with Washington, Lincoln, and FDR being the rare exceptions.
I think it safe to add Trump to that list. He not only sees the tactical dimension, but sees the global strategic vision as well.
And he has three years left to go.

We had a difference in price here that made no sense about a month ago. Diesel had a .70 cent difference between 2 places that were 20 miles apart. Don't even know what things are at currently.

1. Because you're being gouged
2. It's a worldwide commodity, not every barrel produced in the US stays here.
3. Check #1

Same gas station in SE MN had a $1.20/gallon increase in diesel in one week, brutal.

Price gouging.
You think he's banging a hooker, while living with his dead brothers wife and sucking copious amounts of coke, too funny.

Always remember two words in times like this: Fear & Greed. Both of these things will drive markets when the right occasion presents itself. Seems both are now evident.....but will not last long-term. My 2 cents,

Comparing Jared Kushner to Hunter Biden has got to be one of the dumbest things ever posted on this site.
Kushner graduated Harvard with honors, bought and sold high dollar real estate all through college, is a self made billionaire. Probably one of the most successful young real estate moguls in NY city and must be one hell of a negotiator with foreign countries, was a huge part of getting the Abraham Accords done.
Blaming him for anything his father did is just stupid and petty.
TDS is eating a few of you up.

Self made? He’s a chip off the old block.
Charles Kushner (born 1954) is an American real estate developer, investor, and convicted felon who has served as the United States Ambassador to France and Monaco since May 2025
. Founder of Kushner Companies, he is the father of Jared Kushner, son-in-law to Donald Trump. He was pardoned by Trump in 2020 after serving 14 months in federal prison for tax evasion, witness retaliation, and illegal campaign donations.

I’m very very confident they are. And you can see that in their behavior.
