“When oil prices rise, the price of everything rises because goods cost money to ship. And ideally, you want the shipping cost to be as low as possible. But when transportation fees are jacked up because oil prices are up, then everything costs more. Secondly, that is only compounding on the healthcare that millions of Americans are lacking after the ACA subsidies expired.”

Trump's energy secretary, Chris Wright, took to Twitter to announce that the U.S. Navy, quote, successfully escorted an oil tanker... That single tweet sent the price of oil tumbling back to earth... But then, just 10 minutes later, Secretary Wright suddenly deleted the tweet... the White House then confirmed that the Navy did not escort any tanker.”

No one had to doubt when Bush went to war in Iraq...that they were still heavily committed to defense of their allies...I think we have reason to believe now that Trump is not committed to any of that.”

“We've traded potential, I say potential there, economic stability for a conflict that we didn't even need to start. And because we've been acting like buffoons for so long under the Trump regime and embarrassing ourselves time and time again on the global stage, we're going at this totally alone. Like we have isolated ourselves, leaving us without our allies and have invited cyber attacks on our power grids and an increased threat of domestic terror.”

At the same time that Jared Kushner is running around trying to raise billion from the very same people that he negotiating with in the Middle East for his private wealth fund based in Miami. And you got Whitcoff and Kushner getting played in Geneva the night before the bombing happened that led Donald Trump to say, oh, I think they're going to fire first.”
Ridealong summary
Trump's foreign policy is chaotic and undermines U.S. alliances, leading to global instability and economic risks.
“President Trump's pro energy policies have driven U.S. oil and gas production to record levels, contributing to lower fuel prices for hardworking Americans. The temporary increase in oil prices is a short term and temporary disruption that will result in a massive benefit to our nation and economy in the long term... And so we failed to crush the Russian economy. They're still able at the bare minimum to continue the war going as they see fit.”

“The irony, of course, is that, like, first of all, Russia is is already replenishing its war chest, its financial war chest here, because gas prices or rather oil and gas prices have skyrocketed. So they're benefiting just from the fact that prices are up. They're now also benefiting from the fact that prices are up and they have more customers that they can sell to.”

Donald Trump... hasn't made this country safer."”

And the second thing is what it's revealed about scarcity, the way in which we've discovered that we simply don't have the number of Patriot missiles to defend ourselves against these attacks... Trump's Planlosigkeit ist eine Gefahr, which means Trump's planlessness is a danger.”

“Qatar predicts that all Gulf energy exporters will shut down total production within days, and even if the war then ends immediately, all of a sudden, Donald Trump declares fake victory, even though he's a loser. Qatar says, look, it'll take us weeks or even months to return to normal. And Qatar predicts that natural gas prices are now going to rise 400%.”

“Instead of a pro-democracy uprising in Iran, because there was no plan or thought really put into this, the strikes unify the Iranian public against the U.S. This makes any sort of long-term victory just impossible and puts our troops at risk, puts our embassies at risk, and our citizens here in the states at risk. And also what you can't overstate here is the economic shock of it all with the surging oil prices, the disruption to the global trade routes, the immediate inflationary pressure on the American consumer is being felt now more than ever.”
Ridealong summary
Trump's foreign policy is a strategic failure that undermines his brand of strength and efficiency, leading to economic turmoil and increased risks for Americans.
“So, I guess the point of this war now is that Donald Trump wanted to win for Qatar and the UAE and Saudi. That's what he says here, right? He doesn't say that Iran was trying to rule America. He says Iran was trying to rule the other countries in the Middle East. And so, okay, why are six Americans dying for Qatar? I don't even think that's true but like even if it were true didn't have to make the case to the American people that we wanted to get involved in a war that's costing us a billion to two billion dollars a day and risking lives in order to save Donald Trump's crypto partner at the UAE or his investment partner in Saudi Arabia.”
Ridealong summary
Trump's foreign policy is driven by personal financial interests rather than national security, risking American lives and resources for the benefit of his business partners in the Middle East.
