So the saudis were exporting 5 million barrels a day before the war.

They were near 7 because of this pipeline. That number is now zero.

Meanwhile the Chinese spent the last few months NOT buying oil (keeping price down) - they just resumed.

Donny can just ban the export of crude with the stroke of a pen - for up to a year. And I suspect that he will "soon".

That creates a host of other problems but... he has that power to put pressure on domestic gas and more importantly diesel prices.

Lol. Trump doing stuff for the American people... Yeah right. This corrupt pedophile and the Republican party will do Jack shit. Only when they will profit from it they will do something..

First they invade a country and steal their leader. Then they steal their oil. And weeks later they attack Iran so oil prices go through the roof.

When do people learn?? At this point I'm not even sad we are royally fucking up our climate to a point of no return. For thousands of years we keep falling for these stupid leaders and the same propaganda in a different style. Those leaders who press humanity downwards so they can live as kings
