Check out the timing of Trump's Russian diesel deal, and you'll know he's terrified of losing the midterms:
300,000 tons of diesel immediately
500,000 tons in November
1 million tons after that
There's one reason for the deal, and that's to try to bring down prices at the pump
Diesel's used by U.S industries, and price shocks find their way into daily living expenses because everything becomes more expensive: agriculture, haulage etc
Trump knows there's no quick fix to the Iran war or Hormuz, and he knows voters will go against him if the cost of living keeps spiralling
He's trying to save his ass and prevent a thrashing that would see the GOP lose the House and Senate
The only question left is whether it will work

@MarioNawfal You have no clue how popular he is here. All you see is foreigner opinions on X.
The amount of support he has is 10x what it was a decade ago.
