    We have continually imported oil. Every single year. And the pricing of oil is a global issue. The reason oil fell in price was because the Saudis we're trying to wipe out producers in countries like the US by producing a huge amount of oil. Trump actually tried to threaten them so that prices would increase. Then global demand for oil collapsed, further lowering the price. Global demand for oil is currently spiking and the Saudis are not currently willing to produce huge amounts, happier to bank profits.

    Perhaps you should have continued your knowledge of economics beyond 5th grade.

    He won’t have anything to say to that, facts are pesky like that. Last time I checked, Biden isn’t responsible for the inflation happening worldwide, I wonder what his explanation for that is.

    Newsflash! We were never energy independent under Trump. Sure, if you use a very simplified equation of net oil exported minus net oil imported, we exported more than we imported. But that alone does not equate to energy independence. Why? Because much of the oil we exported was low grade, and not anything we could use in our own refineries for energy.

    Newsflash #2! If you use the simplistic definition of exports minus imports, we're still energy independent under Biden! Of course, this definition is meaningless, because again, much of what we export we are unable to use for domestic energy purposes. Which is why we are still importing oil, which we were doing under Trump as well.

    As for Trump solving the global supply chain and inflation issues, I wouldn't trust Trump to do anything. How many failed businesses and bankruptcies? Not to mention, a failed insurrection and two impeachments. Lets not forget the failed charity that as a result, he and his family can't run any charities ever again in the New York area.

    Trump has no plans, and no ideas. Never has. Still waiting for his magical healthcare plan. He'll have it out in two weeks, right?

    His whole platform was building a wall and being bigoted towards immigrants, and he never did even come close to delivering his wall that wouldn’t have made a difference, anyways. He made one campaign promise, and he couldn’t even deliver on that. Trump never has, never did, and never will have a plan. Guy is a dope.

    That's not the same Trump mentioned in these links? That guy who was at least partially responsible for the worldwide oil shortages once the economy started to recover from the pandemic.

    Trump moved to disqualify Judge Middlebrooks because Bill Clinton appointed him.

    Are you a liar or just don’t know? Examining U.S. 'Energy Independence' Claims - FactCheck.org

    You have every right to your opinion. But when you simply repeat a lie, it makes you a liar.

    If you wish to buy cheap oil, Russia is selling. And using the money to kill civilians. Maybe you are ok with that. Some value standing up to communist autocrats who put bounties in our soldiers and kill civilians and dissidents. You’ve picked your side apparently.

    You need to ask that question to HeyItsMe. I would but it would probably get deleted.

    There is no point, we’ve presented all the evidence to mike and of course he has no answer. I’d also ask that if Biden is responsible for gas prices why are they elevated worldwide right now? Same principle with Covid when everyone said it would go away after the election as if the whole world was experiencing an election during that time, lol.

    There was a lot more to his platform but if you want to lie you are gonna lie, There were some gun control issues. putting in conservative judges, scaling back environmental regulations, cutting back Obamacare. His issues with aliens were with illegal aliens, especially ones that had committed crimes. Must I really continue?

    If his issue was limited to illegal aliens why did he do this?

    Trump used the term fake news for any news source that he disagreed with or that would make him look bad because he knows his cult has the collective IQ of a peanut and he could easily manipulate and turn them against those platforms. That doesn’t mean he was right, lol. That article he posted was from a completely legitimate news source, whether you want to accept it or not is your prerogative. Again, if Biden is responsible for gas prices, why is gas high everywhere in every country? Because it’s a nonsense argument and you know it. Why was unemployment at all time highs under Trump even though he and his supporters said he was so good for jobs?

    Good luck getting an educated, researched thought. Because he just is, obviously. He’s still bitter his orange cult god lost so he’s gotta use this as proof Biden sucks.

    Don't skirt the issue. My post was in response to someone saying Trumps entire platform was the Wall which is an outright lie. I'm not here to argue every aspect of my statement. I replied to show how asinine HeyItsMe's statement that the wall was Trumps entire platform.
