Trump threatens DOJ probe of oil companies

President Trump says he ordered the Justice Department to probe whether oil companies are gouging consumers.

Why it matters: It shows a new level of Trump's frustration with prices at the pump — and introduces a new wild card for oil companies, depending on what the Justice Department decides to do with the president's overnight Truth Social post.

Driving the news: "The big Oil Companies are not dropping their price at the pump commensurate with the sharply lower prices they are paying for Oil," he claimed in the post.

"I have instructed the DOJ to immediately start looking into this. Gasoline prices better start going down a lot faster than what I'm seeing!"

3. Rise fast, fall slow

Oil companies like moving prices to extract every bit of profit.
They’ll just do some kabuki to prop up Trump and fluff his ego.

Either that or Trump gets the Ned Beatty ‘primal forces of nature’ talk.
