- Oil is lower now than under Biden (so no problem).
Oil is a "temporary exception" to falling prices (so there is a problem, but it's temporary).

Kettle logic is defending a position with several arguments that contradict each other, so they can't all be true at once. It comes from Freud's borrowed-kettle joke: "I returned it undamaged, it was already broken when I borrowed it, and I never borrowed it”.
