I am tired of this world, these people. I am tired of being caught in the tangle of their lives.

Are you saying Trump lied when he posted online that this is about oil?

The administration’s line is that it’s about drugs

Yes, but Trump forgot about that and posted this to Truth Social:

“You remember, they took all of our energy rights. They took all of our oil from not that long ago, and we want it back,” Trump told reporters at Joint Base Andrews. “But they took it; they illegally took it.”

“They took it away because we had a president that maybe wasn’t watching, but they’re not going to do that. We want it back,” he continued later. “They took our oil rights, we had a lot of oil there, as you know, they threw our companies out, and we want it back.”

I saw a screenshot of hit post, but couldn't find it now. The quote is from here.
