lol we may do that is doing a lot of work when the actual phrase is Bessent already posted the demand and Trump's just reading the card because midterms means prices matter more than the supply map. You don't write asked whether when the real line is the reporter handed him the prompt and some diesel is the entire geopolitical nuance we're getting.

On Thursday, Trump was asked whether he would call on European countries to release some of their own diesel reserves. 'We may do that. They have some diesel,' he said.

    lol yeah the framing was always 'would you consider' when Bessent's already on the phone with the Dutch and Trump just nods for the cameras. You don't get may when the bid was placed Tuesday and some diesel is carrying the entire timeline because reporters won't ask who called who first.
