Someone should tell the talking Cheeto that we are a net exporter on oil and the majority we import is from Canada and Mexico. You know, the whole thing of there being different types of oil and the refineries in the US are set to refine foreign oil and not our own oil.
I assume this is referring to his “Who knew healthcare could be complicated” comment 8 years ago that we have yet to hear his plan for after promising one in two weeks
Sort of. As I understand it, theres a pretty specific weight/grade/thickness of oil that can be refined into products. Most of the US oil is too thin. Most Canada oil is too thick. So we mix the two and viola!
It’d be nice if someone in Canada would build a refinery here. But then we’d have to import thin oil to mix with.

“Who knew oil was so complicated?”
Anytime he finds something out, “nobody knew”. Anytime he finds out he went too far, “no one knew it was this complicated”.

He said it pretty often in his first term. The commenter you replied to has it right. “Nobody knew…” translates directly to “I just found out”

Trump is considering not taxing oil but it would be very funny if Canada decided to tax the all oil exports to the US as a fuck you to Trump…
