President Trump fundamentally misunderstands oil production and distribution. Military disruption of oil from the Gulf region cannot be fully replenished by increased U.S. oil production for years, the time span to create new transportation and refining capacities.

Executives at oil companies serve their "shareholders", NOT Trump. Pumping more oil is a complex decision involving scores of important variables. One doesn't just turn the oil spicket on! Republicans want to control its citizens and private corporations. Dictatorship on steroids!
