Rising Oil Prices, Trump to blame?

Why not, Trump of course. Here is what he said back in 2012.

Gas prices are at crazy levels--fire Obama!
7:14 AM - Oct 22, 2012

Trump has now asked the Saudi's to increase their output to their maximum levels and this still my not be able to meet the summer demand. Here in Northern California prices have jumped to the $4+ mark, something not seen in several years.

Is this the result of Trump imposing sanctions on Iran while Venezuela's supplies dried up? Yes and and fire Trump.

$4.09 here this morning at Shell, perhaps will continue to inch up for the 4th weekend.
I drive an EV now so I get a pass for now unless electricity cost also goes up too. Still my fuel cost is less than a third of gasoline.
