Were gas prices cheaper when Trump was president? (Page 4): It was a suggestion, Trump said it was something to examine. Spin it just like the bloodbath idiots.

Traitor Trump told his MAGA supporters at a recent campaign rally:

“Every time the radical left, Democrats, Marxist, communists, and fascists indict me, I considered it a great badge of honor.”

“I am being indicted for you. Never forget, I’m being indicted for you. Never forget our enemies want to take away my freedom, because I will never let them take away your freedom. I will not do that.”

Do you believe Trump is being indicted for you or is he facing trial for his own criminal acts? Do you consider it a great badge of honor to be the worshiper of a known criminal? Trump's enemies are not your enemies. Would you actually give up your freedom for Traitor Trump?

The MAGA crowd holds Biden in contempt, not because he's not doing his job, but because he's a Democrat who defeated their hero in 2020. MAGAs are not Fascists, they are in a Cult. They accept Trumps words over actual facts.

Briefly. Gas prices got as low as $1.87 in February 2016 under Obama, holding steady around $2.30 until Trump took office. From there they rose steadily until October 2018, reaching a peak of almost $3.00. As the economy continued to flounder under Trump (2018 saw the worst year for the stock market since the 2008 housing crisis; the Fed lowered interest rates in 2019 for the first time since Bush was President to try to prevent a recession), prices fell slightly, holding around $2.65 until the pandemic.

Once Trump mishandled the pandemic and the country began shutting down, demand for fuel dropped and prices fell, reaching $1.93 in April 2020—almost as low as a year before Trump took office. Trump then stated that low gas prices (during a financial crisis) was bad for America. He pushed OPEC into a two year deal to slash production to drive up prices. (This is probably the only thing in his failed Presidency that he successfully accomplished.) Gas prices began to rise immediately and continued to rise until Biden took office.

Once Biden reopened the country, people started driving normally again and the global oil shortage Trump created drove prices up even faster. Prices continued to climb until Trump’s OPEC deal ended in May 2022, peaking at just over $5.00 in June. Then normal production resumed and prices began to fall again. Currently prices are hovering around $3.00 a gallon, about where they were at the end of 2018—the last time the economy was considered reasonably stable under Trump.

So long story short, Trump’s failed economy did lead to gas prices dipping before reaching a record high because of his OPEC deal, but thanks in part to record high domestic oil production under Biden, gas prices are back in line with where they were before the “Trump Slump” despite global inflation driving prices up on almost everything else.

So let’s adjust the numbers for global inflation. The $2.30 under Obama in 2016 would be $2.97 in today’s dollars. That $3.00 under Trump in 2018 would be $3.71 in today’s dollars. The $2.65 we averaged in 2019 would be $3.22 in today’s dollars. So adjusting for inflation, gas prices now under Biden are lower than they were before the pandemic under Trump, and only slightly higher than they were in the final year of Obama’s Presidency.

Drilling leases run 10 to 15 years. Biden has stopped most new leases and nobody wants to invest as long as he is pulling the plug on future drilling. As the current leases expire and there are none to replace them, it will all go to hell. Supply will shrink and we will be dependent upon OPEC for oil. Good for us? No. Not at all. If not fixed, the SWHTF in about 5 - 6 years. And without fossil fuels, you can't charge those stupid Ev's.

47 Years of Failure: The Joe Biden Story
A review of Biden's more than four decades in office reveals his abysmal job performance and poor judgement:

Biden oversaw the worst economic recovery since the Great Depression while he was vice president.
Biden voted for the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), killing millions of jobs and gutting American manufacturing.
Biden led the effort to give China "most favored nation" trade status, killing millions of American jobs.
Biden supported the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal, which would have killed hundreds of thousands of jobs and shrunk U.S. GDP.
Biden failed to hold China accountable, and instead spent years bowing to Beijing.
Biden oversaw the 2009 stimulus package, which failed to deliver the "shovel ready jobs" he promised.
Biden "did every possible thing wrong" responding to the 2009 H1N1 swine flu pandemic.
Biden failed to replenish the nation's stockpile of N95 masks after the 2009 swine flu.
Biden sided with credit card companies over Americans struggling to pay their bills, authoring a law that made it harder for consumers to declare bankruptcy and helped create the student debt crisis.
Biden was "wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades," according to Obama-Biden Defense Secretary Robert Gates.
Biden supported and defended the war in Iraq for years, and then lied about it.
Biden opposed the raid to bring Osama bin Laden to justice, and then lied about it.
Biden first suggested the failed "reset with Russia."
Biden supported the Iran nuclear deal that sent pallets of unmarked cash to the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism.
Biden claimed Iraq would be "one of the greatest achievements" of the Obama Administration just a few years before the rise of ISIS.
Biden failed to provide lethal aide to Ukraine in the face of Russia's invasion of Crimea.
Biden failed to effectively counter Russia's interference in the 2016 election, with even his fellow Democrats admitting Biden "choked."
Biden failed to unite our country, with 69% of Americans – the all-time high – saying that race relations were mostly bad when Biden left office.
Biden failed to stop illegal immigration, instead supporting mass amnesty and policies that encouraged more people to cross our borders illegally.
Biden made the opioid crisis worse.
Biden helped pass a government takeover of health care, which led to skyrocketing premiums, higher deductibles, fewer choices, and millions of Americans had their health insurance plans canceled.

47 Years of Failure - The Joe Biden Story
NARRATOR: "Joe Biden had 47 years in Washington. His record: Higher taxes on working families, disastrous trade deals, jobs shipped to China and Mexico, manufacturing obliterated.
Now Biden has a plan for four trillion in new taxes and amnesty for 11 million illegal immigrants letting them compete for American jobs.
Tired, old, liberal ideas, Joe Biden failed for 47 years, don’t let him fail again."

In spite of actual results, MAGA cult members continue to complain about what they see as failures of the current administration. Besides hoping that somehow Traitor Trump will come back and fix everything for them, what else is the GOP planning to do about accomplishing their goals? What exactly are the goals of MAGA idiots? Is lowering the price of gas their main objective?

Unless you live in a cave and grow your food, have chickens, cattle, and pigs, catch fish, and chop wood for warmth, you fully realize the increased cost of necessities.
Then again you could be that dumb.
