Summary

Author claims dashboards and Krugman analysis prove administration-driven oil market distortion to keep prices low.
Quality: Speculative political commentary with strong bias; lacks independent data or verification, so more noise than rigorous DD.

All credit for first 2 dashboards goes to u/dhsilver for putting this Fabulous project together specially showcasing how the President has manipulated Oil Markets from the Bully Pulpit
The 3rd Image is the initial Oil Market crisis caused by Trump and specifically highlighted the announcement that sparked the ruckus and was created by Award winning Economist Paul Krugman.
All of these are irrefutable evidence the White House is manipulating from the public side and even though the Treasury claims they are not doing any covert commodities trading to artificially keep the prices low it would not shock me at all if that was just another of this Administration’s many lies.
Post claims White House acts to artificially keep oil prices low. Suppressed oil prices translate to downside pressure for oil-futures ETF USO. Bearish trade on oil while alleged public/covert manipulation persists. Unverified claims; headline-driven oil rallies; OPEC supply cuts or geopolitical shocks.
