Trump: Mideast explosion could destroy OPEC-lower oil prices

Donald Trump is mad as hell — and he’s letting everybody know it.

In a wide-ranging exclusive interview with Newsmax.TV on Friday, the billionaire real estate mogul and reality TV star lashes out at China, OPEC, Obama’s Middle East dealings, the president’s State of the Union address and more.

Trump takes aim at America’s “horrible” trade agreements, declares that the Middle East is going to explode, warns about “catastrophic” oil prices, and charges that Obama’s Afghanistan policy is “dangerous and stupid.

“It also could go the other way. Frankly, the Middle East is a tinderbox. It’s going to explode. OPEC will probably be destroyed if it explodes, and oil prices could go the other way.

“I understand economics. You break up what would normally be an illegal monopoly, OPEC, and break it up very strongly. The Middle East is exploding, and I’m saying that could have a positive impact on oil prices.

“If you look at oil right now, it’s soon going to be $100 a barrel. Far too high. It’s set by OPEC. I think OPEC would explode with the Middle East and that wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world.”

living just south of one Donalds' little projects it is hard to like the guy, or to dislike him..

I have heard many good things about him as a person and business leader.
he is hard-nosed and to the point..

but, he is real good at using the system..
and he can really screw the local governments given a chance, we have one of his follies about a mile from here.. he is know to start a project, step out, let other take the heat and then come in at the end to take credit and a paycheck..

not sure what our local, and state "Donald tax" levy is. but other then Steve Wynn, I am sure as a developer/casino mogal, few others have cost the local/state government as much..

one "small" example
. In return for Trump withdrawing his lawsuits, the state added a ramp to the tunnel project to create direct access between the existing Trump Marina casino resort and the proposed Borgata project.

and it is one hell of a ramp.. more of a 1/2 bridge/super highway then a ramp..

the whole project exceeded 400 million, just to appease Wynn and settle trump's lawsuits..
