@SQUEEKY2 “I like how Biden gets blamed for tanking the economy, which happened when Trump’s best friend Putin invaded Ukraine that got Putin’s oil sanctioned and started driving up fuel prices, thus inflating the price of all goods.”
Your claims don’t fit the facts. This chart shows the overall cost for a gallon of gasoline in the US over time. You see the price was effectively level for the last 6 months of 2020 (Trump as POTUS). When Big Joe took over, prices immediately jumped $0.20 per gallon and continued up. By the end of 2021, the price of a gallon of gasoline had gone up $1.20/gal from the end of 2020. By March of 2022, when Biden put sanctions on Russian oil, the price of a gallon of gas was already up another $0.20/gal over that and his sanctions drove it up another $0.70/gal. It peaked in July of that year at over $5.00/gal. More than a 100% increase over what he inherited. It should be noted also that in response to his own idiocy he drained 40% of our strategic reserves.
Another thing to consider is why the prices were going up. Trump had us effectively energy independent. We had the ability to provide for ourselves without depending on foreign oil. Biden, upon taking office, immediately got rid of all the initiatives Trump had put into place and drove us immediately back to being dependent on foreign oil. In other words, his policies undid policies that were working, creating a problem that he then made worse with other actions. This falls 100% on Biden.
As for Putin being Trump’s buddy, you and @janbb have some weird views. You claim Putin could have invaded Ukraine when Trump was in office and he would have let it happen. Yet you ignore the question “Why didn’t he then?”. You want to make Biden out to be some sort of strong leader that is standing up to a tyrant. If that was true, then why wouldn’t Putin have invaded when he had the support of his buddy (as you claim)? He could have invaded and faced basically no blow back, right? Please. I know you hate Trump and can’t say anything bad about a Democrat, but open your eyes, at least for yourself.
