Fox News reported the Trump administration had backed away from a potential diesel export ban after briefly weighing it, citing expert warnings about unintended consequences.
“An industry official told Politico that the fate of the proposal may come down to whoever is 'the last person in the room' with the president. Well, that's certainly one way to make global policy.”

The White House is preparing a plan to ban diesel exports for 90 days, Politico reports

That would further damage his opinion poll numbers among both classic Republicans and even quite a bit of MAGA big money donors. The administration would need to blatantly rig elections in order to hold power for fear of DSA, for example, taking that cat-out-of-bag and running with it. By using regulations as cover for pseudo-nationalization…

Trump is considering a 90-day ban on U.S. diesel exports as fuel prices surge. There’s one big problem: Trump’s own energy secretary is warning the plan could actually send gasoline prices even higher. Here’s why:

They know exactly what they are doing and I'm sure they inject these ideas into the blathering idiot. They know that the number of people impacted by an export restriction is significantly less than the number of votes they can get by imposing it. Farmers, truckers, and rural folks burning diesel are getting pissed at the prices and they need to…

His voters absolutely do care about this. Or have you not watched his absolutely cratering poll numbers across all demographics and party lines? His numbers are so catastrophic that Republican pollsters are even referring to this as a blood bath, dinosaur level extinction event.

Fox Entertainment and the other right wing propagandists will be there warping people's minds and talking about God's plans for America. God, the ultimate invisible friend...

I want to hear more from Republicans about how they love the free market and how anything other than that is communism/socialism/

Remember the good old days when we had a villian - but at least a halfway competent villian - like Dick Cheney running things?

Yeah, at best I think a few percent might change parties. The only hope is the rest nope out of politics/voting entirely.

Yes. I've observed this since 2015 but some folks are really taking their time getting to this conclusion.

Diversified energy is gay though. I want big manly men digging coal and greased up in oil. (/s if needed)

I don't doubt it, but can you tell me what the danger is? I just have no idea how this will backfire.

Of course they don’t have the memory and self awareness. Just look at the fallout after January 6…
