It baffles me his obvious lies are able to keep oil costs down
That's what happens when you build a Peter Pan society based on vibes and Market Confidence. When material reality catches up and the wrong Market Signals™️ are sent out and a sufficient number of oligarchs stop clapping for Tinkerbell, the economy shits it's pants and dies.
The most efficient, humane economic system in history, everybody.
It's not just the lies, of course, but the obvious timing for week-weekend cycle market manipulation that no one cares about. Be assured next Friday evening to Saturday morning NYSE time, there will be another dismal report or threat of escalation which will be "resolved" by Sunday night or Monday morning. It's weird it if happens once, but it's been happening nearly every week since his second term got started. It's the most profitable point in history to be an insider grifter.
