Keep the price of gasoline reasonable.

Pretty sure if Hormuz is closed at the 4th of July crude will skyrocket and $8 - $9/gal gasoline is likely. If he can spin that to unwashed Magats then he truly is an evil genius.

Today it is costing Magats over $100 to fill up their pickup trucks, add another $50 it will take all he has to blame someone else.

I understand, he personally doesn’t care, but he doesn’t take criticism well.
