WASHINGTON – So, the White House dropped the bomb: Trump and Xi actually talked and agreed on something. Turns out, even the guy who yells at clouds and the commie dictator understand that if the Strait of Hormuz goes sideways, the price of gas is gonna make your eyes water, and nobody wants that. Especially not when the tendies are on the line.

Yeah, yeah, it’s the "free flow of energy" or whatever. We all know what that means: OIL. The lifeblood of the modern world. Without it, your pickup truck turns into a really expensive lawn ornament and your Amazon Prime deliveries grind to a halt. And nobody wants that. Except maybe the crunchy granola types who knit their own underwear.

The Strait of Hormuz is that skinny little waterway between Oman and Iran where like, half the world’s oil tankers squeeze through every day. If that gets shut down, thanks to Iran being Iran, it’s game over for cheap gas. And cheap plastic crap from China, let’s be honest.

Of course, this doesn't mean Trump and Xi are suddenly best buds. They’re still probably plotting each other’s economic demise over trade and TikTok and whatever else the globalists are freaking out about this week. But hey, even enemies can agree that keeping the gas pumps full is a good idea.

This whole thing just proves that even the most woke virtue-signaling globalists secretly rely on good ol’ fossil fuels to power their virtue signaling. They might drive a Tesla during the day, but they're still flying private jets to Davos to lecture everyone about climate change. The hypocrisy is palpable.

So, what does this mean for you, the average Joe or Jane Sixpack? Probably not much, at least in the short term. But remember this the next time you’re filling up your gas tank: even the people you love to hate are working (sort of) to keep the prices down. Until the green new deal takes over and we all are riding around on electric scooters...or worse!

Don't expect any real changes to come of this. It's more of a public announcement that even enemies have to cooperate some times. If we see that strait threatened, expect the military to step in. But you didn't need this story to figure that out.

Bottom line: Don’t get too excited. The world is still a dumpster fire, but at least for now, the gas prices might stay somewhat manageable. Go forth and consume!
