Trump Caused Oil Prices To Rise, Blamed Biden

[skews13]

But the most bizarre pitch of the evening may have been when he talked about how he got onto a “three-way call” with Vladimir Putin and “the king of Saudi Arabia” (it was actually the bone-saw-wielding usurper Mohammed bin Salman), to talk about oil production. Because Trump outright said that he didn’t do this to get the Russian dictator or the Saudi monarch to raise production and keep prices low. He called on them to cut production and drive up oil prices.

No sooner had Biden taken office than Republicans began to capitalize on the increasing numbers at the pump to insist that Biden was responsible for lower oil production, although this was explicitly the result of Trump’s deal. They put out deliberately misleading charts that moved around the dates of when Trump had taken office and when he had left, to make it seem like high oil prices were a Democratic policy. Trump and others began routinely lying about the price of oilwhen he left office and the price Americans paid at the pump.

But the real cause for the increase was never hidden.

The New York Times reported on the results of Trump’s actions back in April 2020 and how Trump managed to cut global production by 9.7 million barrels a day. As USA Today reported at the time:

President Donald Trump’s decision to negotiate with oil producing nations to cut production by nearly 10 million barrels a day is not only unprecedented, it also is the opposite of what prior presidents have done.

While others had tried to lower prices and increase availability, Trump was trying to raise prices for everyone and cut the availability of oil.

News of Trump’s direct intervention in the market—one of those things that conservatives like to rail against when a Democrat is involved—temporarily boosted prices by 24% in one day. But, as CNN Business reported soon after, Trump’s victory lap was premature. Despite getting his buddies to sign on to his idea, oil prices crashed to an 18-year-low within days of the deal being made.

The reason was simple enough: Trump’s mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic had put the global economy into freefall, cut travel massively, and reduced the level of oil demand to the point where even his famous friendship with the other worst people in the world couldn’t get prices back to where it made Exxon stockholders happy. It was all so bad that Exxon’s profit in 2020 was only $163 billion.

Trump caused oil prices to rise, blamed Biden

In his first big post-federal indictment speech, Donald Trump made some very odd points before a Georgia audience. Speaking in a convention center with barely the capacity of a high school gymnasium, Trump spent much of his time in the way that many...

Biden promised to kill the fossil fuel industry, and every energy related package he's signed into law, most every conversation he's held about fossil fuel and / or press conference has been NEGATIVE against fossil fuel development.

If you're company created dildos, and Biden continued to speak negatively about the future of dildos ... you'd be an ignorant business owner to continue investing in that market.

Well, Biden did say this before he took offiice as part of his campaign, that he will end fossil fuels.

Biden’s Civil War on Energy Is Leaving Endless Collateral Damage in Its Wake

President Joe Biden has declared he will “end fossil fuel.” Presidents have declared war on everything from poverty to drugs, but his declaration is much more sinister. His is really a civil war. The combatants are heavy-handed bureaucrats harassing fellow countrymen who want to do nothing more...

www.heritage.org

And the effects of his war on fossil fuels were apparent including costs rising a great deal.

thehill.com

Biden shutting down the keystone pipeline was a massive mistake that cost a lot of jobs, a lot of fuel and a lot of money to consumers

Why Bidenâs Killing Of Keystone XL Was An Energy Security Blunder

President Joe Biden's White House is begging the Nicolas Maduro regime in Venezuela to ship more oil to the U.S., but that would not be necessary had he not cancelled the Keystone XL pipeline.

www.forbes.com

Or

Brown: President’s war with fossil fuels harms America

President Joe Biden can’t get his story straight regarding America’s energy producers. One day he is begging them to produce more supply; the next he is declaring war on their business practices.…

www.bostonherald.com

And it keeps on going. Biden is ruining American fuel and with it costs skyrocket.

Of course in Biden approved California their costs are so high because gas companies have to pay insane fees and meet ridiculous regulations to sell in California, that cost is passed onto the consumer.

Who's to blame for California's high gas prices?

Gov. Newsom has called for special taxes on oil companies for what he says are price-gouging profits, but he has yet to offer proof.

calmatters.org

I mean when gas prices took a brief dip right before primaries last year Biden took credit for lowering gas prices, which he did at the expense of releasing our emergency reserves. But when prices were high he blamed it on trump and said "the president can't control gas prices" but when they were lower he said he did it which means yes he can control gas prices right?

And using thedailykos as your source for news is laughable at best.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

Another skewed thread, and it's laughable.
There's one reason why oil prices have steadily increased.
The oil companies know they now have a finite time to produce oil on the scales that they have always been accustomed to. They have been maximizing their profits in the time they have left.
They know that sooner than later, more and more people around the world ( we call them Dimocrats here) will be pressuring them out of business.
It's going to be a while, but eventually it will happen.
From the moment Biden announced his candidacy he began the demonization of the industry, and right on cue prices began their historic rise in prices.

 

[mamooth]

After all the Trump cult weeping and deflection, the evidence that triggered them here remains.

Trump himself bragged about raising gas prices, and Trump himself criticized Biden for lowering gas prices.

The whole Republican party decided to lie and blame it on Biden, and all of the Trump cultists joined in.

So, same old same old. Trump cultists know they're lying, but they continue to lie. And why shouldnt they? Once you've sold your soul to the Lord of Lies, you may as well go all out with immoral behavior. It's not like your fate will get any worse.

/---/ As you already know, Trump did call for cuts in production because oil was in negative numbers and he wanted to protect US oil rig jobs, as you already know.

Native American protesters shut down Biden admin event over oil leasing ban​

http://www.foxnews.com/
Agroup of Navajo Nation citizens blocked two top Biden administration officials from crossing into their territory Sunday in response to a recent federal oil and gas leasing ban.

The Navajo protesters — who held signs saying "Go Home" and No Trespassing" — created a road blockade preventing Interior Secretary Deb Haaland and Bryan Newland, who heads the Bureau of Indian Affairs, from proceeding to a nearby event in northwestern New Mexico. Haaland and Newland were scheduled at Chaco Culture National Historical Park to celebrate a recent oil leasing ban.

"This morning was not ideal," Haaland said Sunday evening at an alternate location in Albuquerque following the protest. "To see any road — yes, less than ideal. That's the nicest thing I can say — to see any road into any of our national parks or our public lands blocked was heartbreaking because our public lands belong to all Americans."

On June 2, Haaland banned oil, gas and mineral leasing within 10 miles of the Chaco Canyon site for 20 years, an action strongly opposed by Navajo communities and government leaders.

It's fascinating, how badly the Trump cult sore-losers got triggered by reality here.

It's not debatable that Trump deliberately raised oil prices and bragged about it. The Trump cultists think that if they just deny any inconvenient fact loudly and often enough, it will go away.

All of the Trump cultists have retreated into a butthurt alternate reality, and they're not coming back.
