Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump The United States is the largest Oil Producer in the World, by far, so when oil prices go up, we make a lot of money. BUT, of far greater interest and importance to me, as President, is stoping an evil Empire, Iran, from having Nuclear Weapons, and destroying the Middle East and, indeed, the World. I won't ever let that happen! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP 8.54k ReTruths 394k Likes 3/12/26, 7:14 AM
