Paypalling, NMLS 910457. Well, howdy there, internet people. It's bell again.

So today, we're going to talk about Trump blaming Ukraine for your diesel prices. In an attempt to escape accountability for how his actions disrupted the global fuel supply, Trump has come up with the most interesting and simultaneously ridiculous explanation. It also reveals that this man should be nowhere near any form of planning. While Trump was on his wildly successful trip to Ireland, where he didn't say anything controversial at all, Trump also said, quote, Mr. Zelinsky has to do one thing. He has to stop knocking out diesel fuel in Russia. He went on. We spoke to Mr. Zelinsky about it. There are plenty of other targets. Don't hit diesel fuel because that's hurting. That's hurting the world. College football is back. So, Hilton called him me the superstition concierge to make your fan rituals a reality.

Need a room to match your lucky number? We got you. Want to make sure our team doesn't wash your lucky jersey? Oh, that smells lucky. Hilton's unmatched hospitality can keep up with any superstition.

Paypalling NMLS 910457. Mr, huh? Okay, whatever. For those who don't have access to presidential intelligence reports, or those who do, but simply don't read them,

Ukraine started its campaign against Russian fuel infrastructure in early 2024, before Trump even took office. When Biden left office, diesel was about $3.60 a gallon. In February of 2026, it was about $3.70 a gallon. Sure, a little higher, but that's actually in range of normal fluctuation. A month later, it was about $4.90. It started shooting up then. So what happened in February and March? February 28, 2026 at 1.15 a.m., Operation Epstein Fury started. Now it's more than $6.00 a gallon. Ukraine's campaign is not why diesel prices are as high as they are in the United States. Trump's unnecessary and elective war against Iran sent it through the roof. There will be charts and graphs down below if you want them.

The Russian export ban happened in July. It didn't cause prices to spike in February. But more than that, it shows that Trump should be nowhere near military planning of any kind. For all of the military understanders out there that totally see Trump and Hegseth as strategic geniuses, Pop quiz hot shots. As fast as you can, name some Russian military vehicles. I'm going to guess you named T-72 tanks, BTR-80s, BMPs. Maybe the MTLB. Part 2 of the quiz. What kind of fuel do these vehicles use? Diesel. They use diesel. For somebody who is supposed to be commander in chief to utter the sentence, Mr. Zelensky has to do one thing. He has to stop knocking out diesel fuel in Russia. Is utterly embarrassing. Maybe just maybe Mr. Trump, who is currently in the 6th month of a war,

he said would only take a few weeks, with absolutely no end in sight. Should refrain from giving advice on how to successfully run a war. Oh, don't do anything that would drive up fuel prices during your war. Says the military genius, who disrupted the entire plan its fuel supplies, over an unnecessary elective war. Unbelievable. Look, the charts will be in the description. It's all there in black and white. Your fuel prices are up because of Trump's failed policies. Period. It's not Ukraine's fault. What's more important for most Americans is that in the US, almost everything moves by diesel. These added transportation costs will filter through to you in all sorts of ways, even if you don't drive a diesel. Trump's failure here is going to continue to cause problems for Americans for quite some time.

This excuse is aimed at the people gullible enough to believe there's a $5,000 check with their name on it. Anyway, it's just a thought. Y'all have a good day.
