Oil companies need to stop ripping off the U.S. through price fixing, says real estate developer Donald Trump.

The mogul told CNBC that oil companies have long been working together on the price of oil and should pay penalties for their profits.

I heard Trump on CNBC a few weeks back. He was talking about the need for a windfall profits tax on oil companies. The moderator asked him if he woul feel the same way about a windfall profits tax if it was the real estate market companies that were making the profits. Oddly, it was one of the few times that I've seen Trump not have anything to say.
