First of all, "stuns the world?"
How does anyone take you seriously? How are you not embarrassed by your use of clickbait, pro-Trump groveling language?
THAT SAID. Here are the FACTS:
This amounts to another flagrantly dishonest political stunt. Shocker!
"This isn't a brand new idea. In 2024, Element Fuels Holdings said it was reviving plans to build a large facility in Brownsville, describing it as the first all-new U.S. oil refinery in nearly 50 years. A website for America First Refining lists prior news releases issued by Element Fuels. In other words, this is essentially the same project REBRANDED under the Trump administration's banner."
And mind you, nothing has even been built yet. It's just a proposal.
Everything is a damn gimmick with this administration. All performance, no substance. All empty promises and platitudes, no actual substantive policy or practical solutions.
Yes, another day, another rebrand, another publicity gimmick to distract from Trump's foreign wars, dead troops and civilians, rising oil prices, and his failure to address systemic economic issues while he serves himself, the ultra rich and corporations, The military industrial complex, and his wealthy benefactors at the expense of everyone else.
Another PR strategy to deflect from his declining ratings and his unpopular WAR of CHOICE.
Mind you, domestic oil production hit record highs under the Biden administration, and whether you see this as a positive outcome or not, Trump took credit for it as the trend carried over into his administration.
Trump was exploding the debt and deficit before this war even started, and cheaper gas prices weren't due to any of his policies, but were largely driven by seasonal demand patterns and crude oil prices dropping in response to a global economic slowdown.
Ironically, for the first time in his presidency, his actions are having a miserable impact on the price of the pump, except not in his, nor the American people's favor. Go figure.
