It seems like a Trump thing.
This seems like sort of a classic government snafu where the government does something, overplays its hand, and then all of a sudden they're taxing everybody.
Because who ultimately pays for all this stuff?
I mean, taxes don't.
get paid by nobody.
Taxes ultimately get paid by people who are consuming.
So all of this, what does it do in the long run?
It drives up inflation marginally.
And ultimately, people who consume oil end up paying for all of this.
I think at this point, Trump's win is do they win the midterms?
Do they even split the midterms at this point?
Because now, I mean, God, a month ago, the Senate, there was almost no chance the Senate was going to go Democrat.
And in the last 10 days, it's 50-50 now, which is kind of crazy to think.
To me, that is you...
And this is why I don't like the ceasefire.
The ceasefire โ somebody โ I said last night on Twitter that the problem with what's going on is that you've got a flow-through effect economically from the way these prices are going to be reported in things like CPI and in all the economic data where you could get into a point where we're into โ
say, the middle of June, July, August, where inflation is still high in all the readings, in large part because the year-over-year oil prices are just going to be so high in comparison.
You've got to get, I mean, you even look at the prices today, like people are saying, oh, the price is down so much.
