I don't see it going down until we have an actual agreement. Even then, the oil pipeline is just about empty, so it's going to take a while for things to get better.
I'm sure the "plan" is for prices to drop below $4.00 by mid-summer, and $3.50 by the fall election.
The media will praise Trump's negotiation skills, when all he will have done is bring things back to where they were before he attacked Iran, except for a badly damaged economy.
And, of course, our military will be out $50 billion or more, farmers will get crushed for both fuel and fertilizer right during the growing season, the cost of goods will have soared, and we'll get the bill for all this stupidity.

But the good news for republicans is that the MAGATS will have forgotten all about it by election time...at least that's the plan.
