US to release 172 million barrels from Strategic Petroleum Reserve to try to bring down gas prices

Republicans criticized President Biden for draining the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) to lower gas prices ahead of the 2022 midterms. Now President Trump is going to do the same thing by releasing 172 million barrels of oil to help lower prices ahead of the 2026 midterms.

FWIW, Trump is only releasing about HALF what Bedpan Brandon did.

Seems to be a pattern here, Trump will criticize the opponent for doing something and the cult cheers and then he will turn around and do the same damn thing and the cult cheers. You clowns are the biggest hypocrites on the planet.

During an interview Wednesday with WKRC Local 12 in Cincinnati, Trump was asked about tapping the reserve and said, “Well, we’ll do that and then we’ll fill it up.”
He added, “Right now we’ll reduce it a little bit, and that brings the prices down.” He didn't specify in that interview how many barrels of oil the U.S. would release.
Trump frequently criticized the administration of Joe Biden for tapping the reserve to try and bring down gas prices.


Biden went anti oil, shut down pipelines and threw down a bunch of regulations on the industry. THEN when the price skyrocketed, he used our strategic reserves to help democrats from being thrown out of office over it. We had to buy all the oil that he shutdown here, from other countries. It was all self inflicted for no good reason at all, other than to PRETEND to be green, while just buying our oil from other countries instead of producing it ourselves.

Explain to me one god damn benefit we got from Bidens disastrous energy policies. There isnt one.

When it comes to Iran, the potential benefit is obvious and significant. There is no comparison between Trump and Biden.

Wars use a lot of oil, and so does bad economic policies. This is inevitable when the Government is made up of shell companies and the MIC is running the country.

Yep, last I checked, battleships, jet planes and tanks all need it. Just think, what a sweet deal for an enemy if our military went 100% EV electric, then they could defeat our combined armies with just one nuke EMP detonation.
