đš Trump just said oil is the only thing still hurting Americans â and that we "no longer have to worry about nuclear weapons with Iran because they're wiped out."
36 days to midterms. Two of those claims don't match reality.
Oil is NOT lower than under Biden. Brent is near $102. WTI near $92. Oil was $72 before the Iran war kicked off in February. Diesel just smashed through $6 a gallon for the first time ever.
And "wiped out"? That contradicts what he said in the same breath. Same day, he left the door open to more strikes: "We're going to win this war very soon."
If Iran's nuclear threat were truly gone, the war wouldn't still be the central obstacle to lower oil.
Iran hasn't budged. They'll reopen Hormuz and resume nuclear talks â but only if they get frozen assets back, sanctions relief, and the right to sell oil.
Trump's timeline keeps shifting. Gas below $2 was promised "right after the election." Then "a little longer than the midterm."
NBC polling earlier this year: 36% approval on inflation and cost of living. 62% disapproval.
Trump is betting oil falls before November 3. Iran's demands say that depends on a deal neither side has agreed to yet.
The macro narrative matters â but right now, oil is the trade. And the timeline is tighter than the talking points.
