“Why shouldn’t we? We won,” Trump said of the toll-charging “concept” during Monday’s press conference.

The bullying. The extortion. The self-entitlement. Just like the "JCs" at the pump seal company.

They were saying it out loud, at the convention in the summer of 24 "energy domination". And Trump the Conqueror has the full military might of the US to back up his attempt to monopolize the oil market.
