The fake news media is going CRAZY, absolutely crazy, about a little drone strike, a very small strike, on some tankers near Russia — which I have nothing to do with, by the way, I never met those tankers, never even heard of them, but they’re talking about it like it’s the end of the world, the FAKE NEWS, the ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE, they’re saying the oil is in trouble, the pipeline is in trouble, and I’m the one who has to fix it, because nobody else can, believe me, nobody. The Caspian Pipeline Consortium, which I’ve always called the CPC, very smart people call it that, moves 2% of global oil, TREMENDOUS oil, and Chevron, a great American company, the BEST company, is trying to keep its assets out of the war, and the fake news media is saying I’m protecting Russian oil, can you believe it? They’re saying I warned Ukraine not to attack non-Russian vessels, and that’s a BAD thing? I’m the one who is playing 4D chess, the highest level chess, while everyone else is playing checkers, beautiful chess, and I’m protecting AMERICAN oil, AMERICAN jobs, because Chevron is American, the MOST American company, and I have a GREAT relationship with Mike Wirth, fantastic guy, he called me, he said “Sir, Sir, we need your help, only you can do it, you’re the best negotiator,” and I told him, I said, “Mike, I’ve been doing this for years, the biggest deals, the best deals, I’ve been through war, I’ve been through peace, and I’ve always been the one, the one who gets the oil flowing, the one who makes the deals, and I’m going to make a deal with Ukraine, a beautiful deal, they’re going to stop attacking the oil, and I’m going to get the oil flowing, and it’s going to be TREMENDOUS, the biggest oil deal in history, maybe EVER.” I told Zelensky, very strongly, you touch that tanker again and the weapons pipeline gets a lot narrower. That’s the deal. That’s the chess. That’s the 4D chess, the highest level, nobody else could do it, believe me. I’m protecting American oil, American jobs, and Chevron, the greatest company, and I’m doing it by playing the game nobody else even knows how to play.

And you know what? I always said this would happen. I PREDICTED it. I said, a long time ago, I said, “If you have a pipeline that goes through Russia, and you have a war, the drones are going to come, and you’re going to have a problem.” I said it years ago, before anyone else, and the fake news media didn’t cover it, they never cover my predictions, the most accurate predictions, the BEST predictions, and now they’re saying it’s a crisis, a CRISIS, and I’m the one who’s going to solve it, like I solve everything, I’m the ONLY one. I even drew a map, a beautiful map, with a Sharpie, a PERFECT Sharpie, and I showed everyone where the pipeline was, and I said, “This is the pipeline, the most important pipeline, and if it gets hit, the oil prices go up, and I’m the one who can fix it.” And they laughed, they said “Diklis Chump is crazy, he’s drawing on a map,” but now they’re seeing, they’re seeing I was right, I was RIGHT, just like I was right about everything else.

And let me tell you about the oil prices. The fake news is saying oil is above $100, and that’s BAD, but it’s actually GOOD, because when oil prices are high, that means my friends in the oil business, the best people, the SMARTEST people, they make a lot of money, TREMENDOUS money, and I’m very happy for them, because I’m a businessman, I know business, and when they make money, I make money, and that’s good for the country, believe me. Brent crude, which I’m told is the important one, went above $100, the most money for oil, because of the three chokepoint closures that I also predicted. And Chevron, they’re going to make $6 billion in free cash flow from the Tengiz field, I said to Mike, I said, “Mike, that’s a lot of cash, VERY cash-flowy, maybe the most cash-flowy ever, and I’m the one who made that happen, because I’m the one who stopped the drone strikes, I’m the one who warned Ukraine, I’m the one who’s protecting the pipeline, and I’m the one who’s going to get a great deal, a BEAUTIFUL deal, for the American people, and also for me, but mostly for the American people.” And by the way, the Tengiz field, I’ve been talking about it for years, it’s a TREMENDOUS field, Chevron spent 48 billion dollars to expand it, the most anyone has EVER spent on an oil field, maybe ever, in the history of oil, and I’m the one who made it possible, because I’m the one who created the business environment, the BEST environment, through my tremendous leadership, my INCREDIBLE leadership, the kind of leadership that nobody else has.

Now, the fake news is saying that warning Ukraine is helping Russia, because the pipeline carries Russian oil, but that’s FAKE NEWS, the pipeline carries Kazakh oil, which is not Russian, it’s Kazakh, totally different, and I’m the one who knows the difference, because I’m very smart, I have the best words, I know more about oil than anyone, maybe more than the generals, definitely more than the scientists, and I’m telling you, this is a VICTORY, a huge victory, for the United States, and for me, and for the oil companies, and for my friends, and for everyone who matters. And the drone strike, it was actually a good thing, because it showed that I’m the only one who can protect the oil, and I did, I protected it, and I’m going to continue to protect it, and I’m going to get a great deal, and I’m going to make a lot of money, and I’m the richest person, the richest president, the richest everything, believe me, and nobody can stop me, not Ukraine, not Russia, not the fake news, not the Democrats, nobody, because I’m Diklis Chump, and I’m the best, the best ever, believe me.
