"Donald Trump Just Told All of America He
'Doesn’t Give a Damn' About Them!"
by David Haggith
Excerpt: "Trump even told his rally audience that his advisors were saying, “Don’t say that!” But he didn’t care. He said it anyway. This was not thinly veiled language. Trump said he doesn’t care, in the least, about the number-one thing that is driving up the price of everything for everyone and that is most on America’s mind right now:
Speaking at a rally in Georgia on Saturday, October 24, Trump said advisers had warned him against highlighting the financial gains associated with rising oil prices, suggesting the comments would invite criticism over the cost of fuel for ordinary Americans. In footage of the rally shared online, Trump claimed the US oil and gas industry was making billions of dollars amid the conflict in the Middle East, presenting higher oil prices as a source of financial gains for the country.
Trump, you see, is heavily invested in gas and oil. He’s making bank off of his war, and he just told you how elated he is over that. As a “filthy rich” man (i.e a crude man, dripping in the slimy, black oil) he is obviously so completely out of touch with most Americans that he cannot even understand the simple sense of what his own advisors told him. Americans know all too well there are people in America who always make a fortune off of the next oil war. Those who make big bucks off oil are the deep state that runs the nation to make endless wars in order to make money. They and their banksters are the core of the military industrial complex. But Americans are SICK of oil wars.
Trump said his oil prices are bringing in huge gains for the country. Well, that is true IF “the country” means “Big Oil.” Under Trump’s understanding of America, that is accurate because Big Oil runs the country. Big Oil in the US is making bank hand over fist because so much of its oil is located in the US, so everyone, as Trump pointed out, is rushing to Big Oil in the US to bid up their product, since little is coming out of Ukraine, Russia or the Middle East, and those US companies are making filthy lucre off of their black gold because of the Trump-Iran War. (And Trump’s Venezuela War.) No doubt that is why Trump doesnt’ want the war to end. He’s making a vast fortune off of it. Why kill the good times when you can just kill Iranians?
But here is the problem with that thinking, aside from the killing of Iranians and American warriors, which I’m sure is obvious to most, but apparently needs restating for Trump: MOST of America is not heavily invested in oil. Most of America and MOST AMERICAN COMPANIES are watching their money get chewed away by the high cost of fuels, fertilizers and things like plastics made from oil. Most of America is getting clobbered, while Big Oil, as has always been the case in America, is making bank off of another Middle Eastern oil war! This is EXACTLY what Trump’s supporters said they didn’t want.
Trump’s response: He doesn’t “give a damn!” (In fact, he loves it because he’s getting rich, which in his narrow mind, means America is getting rich because that is the America he knows.) Remember his words every time you grab the hose on the fuel pump. TRUMP LITERALLY TOLD YOU HE DOESN’T CARE ABOUT HOW MUCH THAT TANK FULL IS COSTING BECAUSE IT IS MAKING A small percentage OF PEOPLE IN AMERICA, INCLUDING HIMSELF, VERY, VERY RICH.
“Our country is making hundreds of billions of dollars because of what’s happened in the Middle East, because they’re coming to Texas and they’re coming to Oklahoma and they’re coming to Louisiana and they’re taking that oil,” Trump said. NO!
TRUMP is making billions of dollars because Trump is part of the group making hundreds of billions of dollars—the group that is helping him build a massive gold-plated ballroom on the east end of the White House where YOU will never be invited to dance and dine. But his billionaire buddies who are making bank off of oil will all be there, celebrating their great gains with expensive glasses of the best, golden-colored champagne. Take that to the bank or spend it.
“My people say, please don’t mention that, Sir, people are paying a little higher,” Trump said, adding that he expected gas prices to fall. “I can just see the fake headlines,” Trump said. “President Trump is talking about all the money they’re making while people are suffering at the pump.” But I said, ‘I don’t give a damn, I’m gonna say it: We’re making a frickin fortune,’” he added. Who is “WE?”
