    Can somebody explain this part to me?

    He also signalled hope towards the fuel costs going down in fall, telling the host, ‘I hope so. I mean, I think so. It could be. Or the same. Or maybe a little bit higher. But it should be around the same. I think this won’t be that much longer.’

    How can this be reported as him signalling hope? This is gibberish. Best part of all is that stockbrokers and traders will run with this as if it is now a given and then act complete pikachu if it doesn’t happen.

    Djezes this is the stupidest timeline.

      I hope so.

      Amazingly, it seems they meant it literally. Usually “hope” in this context means you think there’s a good chance something will happen. Trump literally has no idea whatsoever.

      because it’s propaganda of a real story, you already know the right of it.
