Putin, Oil, Trump

I'm probably going to regret letting this escape from my head where it was a random though while walking the dogs. Let's see if this has legs:

Trump's election was engineered by a coalition of Putin, Saudi Arabia, and Exxon-Mobile to prop up oil prices. The aim was to attack the demand side by reversing the trend of decreasing dependence on fossil fuels in the U.S. Immigration fears were played on as a way to get a populist base and exploit lingering insecurities after the recession. Ditto with tough talk on terrorism combined with ineffective yet showy acts like the travel ban on countries that have not significantly exported terrorism to the U.S., especially sparing Saudi Arabia. Trump was selected as an easily manipulated charismatic outsider figure.
