WOW! Karoline Leavitt says oil prices will DECREASE RAPIDLY when Orange Rapin' Grampy "ends the Iran conflict" USA! USA!

"Rest assured to the American people, the recent increase in oil and gas prices is temporary and this operation will result in lower gas prices in the long-term," Leavitt said.

She shared the news during a news briefing on Tuesday, which she said marked the tenth day of "Operation Epic Fury."

"Last night, President Trump reiterated his commitment toward keeping oil flowing through the Strait of Hormuz, so the United States and all of our allies can receive their energy needs," Leavitt said.

"President Trump will not allow rogue Iranian terrorists to stop the freedom of navigation and the free flow of energy," she added.

We know they are lying.
They know they are lying,
They know that we know they are lying
We know that they know that we know
they are lying
And still they continue to lie

Orange Rapey Grampa (“ORG”) is fighting a long term trend pushing oil prices down. Ubiquity of EVs in OECD and some of the BRICS countries, plus increasing use of renewables for power generation, are putting oil on the wrong side of history. Most actions ORG takes are to enrich himself and his oil industry buddies, although I bet many of the oil companies have had a rough couple of weeks.

Oil is more likely to be $50 than $80 six months from now unless ORG does something to reduce supply, which he might. ORG is a chaos agent deliberately making all of our lives worse.
