You don't think this is a show, like the "negotiations" kabuki dance, to mollify the Proles, until after the election, when the Proles, again, become expendable?
It's certainly a show - but the mere fact that the show is happening demonstrates that Trump does not want high gas prices.
The "negotiations" weren't a kabuki dance. They resulted in the U.S. actually agreeing to let Iran sell oil without sanctions in exchange for the strait to be opened. Sure, there's lots of other aspects of the negotiations going forward that are kabuki. But the meat of the negotiations to get oil prices back down? 100% real, and 100% we caved in order to get the strait reopened.
None of this disappears once the election is over. Because that's when the Presidential primary starts, and Trump will care just as much about that (or more) than he does the midterms.
