No I don't deny what you posted. But what I would deny is the Biden caused the price hike whereas this time Trump did cause the price hike.
1. When Covid eased off, demand rose and the supply wasn't there so the price rose.
2. When Iran was attacked, supply fell but the demand was still there so the price rose.
In 1. The world demand rose, 0% caused by Biden.
In 2. The gulf suppy fell, 100% caused by Trump.
You're welcome.

Democrats vote for that.
On his first day, Joe signed EO's that caused problems with oil. The markets reacted. And it got ugly pretty quickly. Out of nothing but a signature. The pain started quickly. This conflict has caused some pain. The conflict though is tangible. It is more expensive to transport oil on trains then pipelines. I do not even know it the return of Trump restarted the pipelines that Joe stopped.

Gasoline prices in the United States rose on Tuesday to their highest level in four years as peace talks between the United States and Iran appeared at an impasse.
U.S. Gas Prices Hit Highest Level Since Beginning of War in Iran
The jump on Tuesday of 1.6 percent was the highest percentage increase in more than a month.www.nytimes.com
The average cost for a gallon of regular gasoline is $4.18, according to the AAA motor club. The price at the pump has not been that high since April 2022, shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine. Tuesday’s jump of 1.6 percent was the highest percentage increase in more than a month.
Oil prices also climbed on Tuesday, with negotiators deadlocked over proposals to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to tanker traffic and restrict Iran’s nuclear program.
Tell us again MAGA, how the U.S. is winning an unwinnable war with a country that does NOT fear the United States? Everything Trump has done has made the war worse the U.S. Iran controls the Straits of Hormuz. Iran has created a world oil crisis because of the U.S. and Israel had a war they knew they could NOT win.

It's pretty clear the main reason for the Iran War was as an Epstein Files distraction.
Being an increasingly demented and erratic idiot, Trump ignored Tulsi's and General Caine's advice because he's smarter than them. He knew Iran would fall just like Venezuela.
Now he's in a hole and can't get out. I expect the sacrificial lamb for this debacle will be Hegseth. Trump really, really hates to be seen as a loser.
Get rid of your gas guzzler. Problem solved.Trump says Iran 'better get smart soon;' oil hits $115 per barrel.
Trump says Iran ‘better get smart soon;’ oil hits $115 per barrel - UPI.com
The price of Brent crude oil passed $115 per barrel Wednesday while President Donald Trump urged Iran on social media to agree to a nuclear deal.www.upi.com
April 29 (UPI) -- The price of Brent crude oil passed $115 per barrel early Wednesday while President Donald Trump urged Iran on social media to agree to a nuclear deal.
The United States and Iran remain under a cease-fire agreement that began on April 8 but negotiations to end the war have stalled. The president posted on Wednesday that Iran "better get smart soon."
"Iran can't get their act together," Trump wrote. "They don't know how to sign a non-nuclear deal. They better get smart soon!"
Trump wrote on social media Tuesday that Iran informed the United States that it is in a "state of collapse," though he did not clarify who told him that. He said Iran was asking for the U.S. Navy to end the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical channel for the Middle East's seaborne oil trade.
Like it or not, Iran holds the high cards. Iran is NOT afraid of the U.S.

Actually, it's closer to five dollars more for a 20-gallon fill-up since Trump began his Epstein distraction in Iran.
You are so desperate!
Remember how much you whined about gas prices up to the day Trump took office?
How DO you stand the stench of your own hypocrisy?
True. Little girls only need one or two dolls, not 30. Same for pencils. Do as our great Orange Messiah tells us and all will be fine.
Hmmmm.....if gasoline has gone up a dollar a gallon since Trump started his Forever War and you are filling up a 20-gallon tank, even a MAGA moron should be able to figure out that's a $20 increase, not $5.
The national average reached $4.18, a 40-percent jump since the conflict began on Feb. 28, according to data from AAA. States in the West have seen some of the highest average gas prices, with California having the highest average at $5.97. Oklahoma holds the lowest average price of gas at $3.57.

Trump told them it was for the good of their future, to keep them safe from Iran. The Cult believes all of his bullshit.

Biden is not the issue here. It is Trump's inability to conduct war. You have a very bad case of BDS.

Crude Oil Prices (1946-2026)
Interactive charts of West Texas Intermediate (WTI or NYMEX) crude oil prices per barrel back to 1946. The price of oil shown is adjusted for inflation using the headline CPI and is shown by default on a logarithmic scale. The current month is updated on an hourly basis with today's latest value.
www.macrotrends.net
May 2022 oil prices hit $114. This was because Russia invaded the Ukraine and because of strong demand after Covid.
Biden did not invade the Ukraine. Biden was not president when Covid hit.
In June 2014 oil prices were high, but went down afterwards.
Partly because of the economic crisis of 2008, which Bush, Republican helped to make in his 8 year presidency, and also Indian and China rising.
The simple fact is that these would have happened regardless of who was president.
Trump, on the other hand, made this happen, and would only have happened with someone like Trump.
That's why it's DIFFERENT.
