The rising price of petrol in "drill, baby, drill" US.

And those that elevated him to run the first time, and allowed him to run the second time.
They thought he was an idiotic boogiemen man they could run against and win without offering the working class anything that would upset their donors or Israel. #UnintendedConsequences

1. Israel... outsourcing their territorial ambitions ✅
2. Russia... oil price rises increase their war chest ✅
