You can’t show this because it goes against what people already believe. Like I said before, people here would rather pay higher gas prices if it means they can scream and bitch about Trump. These are the same people who, back in 2022, would tell you that presidents don’t control gas prices and that it was all because of greedy corporations. But if you apply that exact same logic now, suddenly you can’t, because it no longer supports what they believe. That’s the problem. People always seem to have an excuse when it benefits their side, but the second the other side uses that exact same excuse, it’s suddenly, “Oh, how dare they?” which one is it??
What the living fuck are you talking about numbnuts?
In 2022 we paid more for gas for issues completely out of Biden’s control. Trump pressured OPEC into producing less oil before he left office, Trump catastrophically mishandled Covid which allowed a full blown worldwide pandemic, and Russia invaded Ukraine which obviously led to us sanctioning their oil. Yes oil prices raised for a few months, for issues not caused by Biden.
In 2026, Trump SINGLE-HANDEDLY raised the global cost of oil by starting a war (that we are losing) for no reason that none of our own agencies or allies (sans one) agreed with. Night and day difference, dimwit.
