Russia is having problems supplying itself with diesel due to how many of their refining capacity has been damaged by Ukraine.

The only effect of this will be an attempt to shift blame from Trump for the shortages and high costs of energy onto Ukraine for daring to defend themselves.

    Here’s the relevant truth posted about this on Trump’s private social media:

    https://www.trumpstruth.org/statuses/42215

    I have just concluded a highly successful discussion with President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, wherein it was agreed that Russia will immediately supply over 300,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel to the American and Global Marketplace, another 500,000 Tons during the month of November, and 1,000,000 Tons immediately thereafter. Additionally, based on the condition of their Diesel Refineries, Russia will then deliver, within a short period of time, 3,000,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel. Between our TOTAL CONTROL of the Strait of Hormuz, and this great announcement on Russian Energy, Diesel Prices for Americans and, indeed, the World, will be COMING DOWN, IN RECORD NUMBERS, AND FAST! Lower prices for Americans, especially our Great Farmers, Ranchers, and Truckers, is my Greatest Priority. This is a very big and important announcement. Additionally, it must be understood, that Iran will not have a Nuclear Weapon! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

      Everything about this site is disgusting and needs to be burned down.

      Edit: we have the evidence. The legislative branch is spineless and the judiciary is out to lunch w the billionaires.

        Which site? Truth Social, or the unaffiliated site the commenter above you linked to? trumpstruth.org is a third party site that preserves Trump’s posts where they won’t get deleted and where people can link without giving traffic/ad revenue to the asshole.
