Yes, oil is part of it?

But, there is more to this than meets the eye!

One, Trump loves chaos, confusion and power, which the power being the biggest factor. He is a bully who can’t stand not being the one everyone is focused on. Yet, every day he’s in the headlines of the media.

Two, it is a cover up for all the corrupt issues that he knows is damaging to him. He is afraid of the outcome of his own criminal investigation and actions.

Finally, he knows his time is running out. He afraid of what his legacy might look like?

Therefore, his attempt to curb millions of dollars from his wealthy friends is how he is portraying himself as a king, dictator or authoritarian.

He is not finished either! He will continue to force people into giving him more power and more money to satisfy his ego.

My biggest fear is that he goes after the governors of states who did don’t support or who didn’t vote for him?

His manipulation of power is his crutch and he won’t end until he’s on top.

I can't see any oil company rushing into anywhere to develop new product, especially heavy oil from Venezuela.

It's straight up power, the US media is trump's friend, epstein, epstein, epstein!
