As hard working Americans suffer at the pump, it has emerged that President Donald Trump has made a vast $81.6million from his personal shares in the oil and gas sector, according to a new congressional report.
The windfall comes as tensions with Iran escalate. During a rally in Georgia over the weekend to campaign in midterms, Trump boasted that the fossil fuel industry was bringing in hundreds of billions of dollars. Trump defiantly told the crowd: “I don’t give a damn, I’m going to say it: We’re making a freaking fortune.”
Critics and Democrats in congress have pointed out that Trump’s aggressive foreign policy decisions are causing energy prices to rise globally, whilst boosting his wealth. As Big Oil’s profits rise, so does the presidents wealth. Americans are left wondering who their interests are really being looked after by.
