41. When he says "big trouble"

He means for him and the economy.

Fuel prices are artificially down mainly due to China not currently importing oil.

Don't be fooled by the futures price of oil dropping. This is pure market manipulation.

The fact is oil inventory around the globe is dropping to tank bottom and nothing, not even the orange asshole is going to stop the global effects from starting and cascading over the next several weeks. Oil executives warned us of this starting by July 4th and I think they know what they are talking about.

I expect that after the holiday you will start to see gas prices begin to climb again while inflation continues to climb out of control.

In short, we are fucked.
