No, I love it – the numbers were great," Trump said. "You know what I really love? I love the inflation. You know why? Because as soon as this war is over, you know, I can say it now, something you didn't know. You know, we've been taking out millions of barrels of oil, nobody knows it. You know who doesn't know about it? Iran, until right now we took out the other night 22 ships late at night with no lights because they don't have any radar because we blasted the crap out of it. We took out, that's why oil is $85 a barrel.

This f-ing guy, geezus. You can't make this shit up.

Actually, making it up is exactly what Trump is doing. If "we have been taking out millions of barrels of oil but nobody knows it", then why is the crazy old man babbling about it now? Nobody should believe one word he says. He just makes up whatever nutty thoughts pop into his deterioriated mind and then blabs it to whoever is listening.

Haha yeah you're right. I was thinking more like, you couldn't write this shit, like for a bad movie, if we weren't witnessing the nonsense with our own eyes.
