> I can't see how it is actually a win for Trump. OPEC has mostly been a big partner with the US.

I mean, I don’t even know if I mean this sarcastically anymore, but are we sure that Trump and the US’ interests are aligned? I think something can be a win for Trump and a loss for the USA.

Majority of US voted for Trump. Maybe not aligned with your version of US, but this is what the majority wanted

		Only about 1/3 of registered voters actually voted for him. About 1/3 of registered voters sat that election out.

		I believe it to be possible to vote for someone and also not be 100% aligned with every outcome they bring about. In fact, it may even be possible for this to be more in line with the vision of people who did not vote for Trump than the people who voted for him. If you look at presidents historically, there are some occasions where the vision they described during the campaign to get votes is not in fact the vision they bring about while governing. Also - what is your presumption of what my vision of the USA might be?

		Nobody wanted a war in Iran, recall how Trump wasnt going to start any new wars? We are in this conflict bc of Zionists - it had nothing to do with US interests at all.
