Stupid Trump. Gas prices aren't going down, but announcing that war is almost over logically affects the market to appear better, but they'll be let down as prices rise. Don't we basically own Venezuela now? What happened to all that nasty crude from the #1 country for oil whose leader we kidnapped? Too bad 47 sold the oil into his PERSONAL, unregulated Qatar account - could've bought US citizens lower gas prices much longer. He should've filled our reserves b4 starting a global war, the moron.
