I think Trump is using this crisis just as much as anyone else and wants to keep it going for as long as its economically viable. Why? Look at all the stuff he is getting done with no opposition when he would be getting the full media and D treatment if they were not also 24/7 wuhan flu? Just bringing back manufacturing is a HUGE one that he would never have been able to do without this to highlight how badly we screwed up by giving so much of our production to china. So now the public is screaming for it to come back and Trump is smiling instead of the media screaming at him for calling out chyna. Then there is all this military stuff they are doing against the cartels using the virus as an excuse. Again the media and D's would be going batshit over it but not so much as a peep. Oil is another. The huge price drop per barrel has Trump buying it all up as fast as they are producing it and shipping it to our strategic oil reserve sites. Trump is going to ensure that we have enough oil to last us decades even if the rest of the world goes up in flames. What else is he doing behind the scenes?

I thought stopping buying oil for our strategic reserve was part of the stimulus package?

The D's are trying to block it but he has too many options to get funding especially for national defense related items. They will fail.

I hope! Right now I would consider buying HCQ a higher priority, and oil is up a bit from where it was. DJT was buying right at the low, why mess with that? Aaaargh

We have plenty of HCQ and our medical industry is already starting to pump out new doses as we negotiate purchases from other countries like india which has a huge supply. Cheap oil won't last and he is getting it whilst the getting is good. I think it only amounts to a hundred billion or so in funds to top off the strategic reserve so pocket change really. The D's are trying to block it to be as obstructive as they can be not that they care about the money or the oil. They really would cut their own throats if they thought it would remove Trump from power. Insanity rules them now.
