You can't make this stuff up - from Reuters just now: White House asks US oil-and-gas companies to help lower fuel costs

God but you're clueless when it comes to economics, GG! Unlike you...Donald Trump understands that oil prices that are too low are as dangerous as prices that are too high. His policies brought about a surge in oil and natural gas production but also led to the Saudis and Russia cutting the price of their oil in order to compete. They attempted to make oil produced from Shale too expensive to compete. They did the same thing thirty years ago.

You really might want to work in your reading skills, they totally suck.

I made no judgement on the action, just posted that it happened because based on the responses many people did not know that Trump did this, even though he bragged about it.

You made no judgement? Be honest for a change, GG! Go back to your first post in this string and look at the judgements that you've made all along when it comes to comparing Trump and Biden! You claimed that Trump put pressure on other oil producers simply to put more profits in the pockets of US oil producers. Did he really do that...or was it Trump understanding how the Saudis and others use price cuts to knee cap the competition and putting them on notice that the US wouldn't stand for it?

Yes it is true. It was not price cuts that were the problem when Trump did this, it was the world wide pandemic that caused oil/fuel usage to sharply decline, thus causing the price of oil to do so as well. We could have rode out the lower prices and then we would not be so low in production now. Just imagine what the price of gas would be if the US/SA/Russia were all producing as much as oil as they were in Feb of 2020.


Here are Trump's own words on the subject.....“Just spoke to my friend MBS (Crown Prince) of Saudi Arabia, who spoke with President Putin of Russia, & I expect & hope that they will be cutting back approximately 10 Million Barrels, and maybe substantially more which, if it happens, will be GREAT for the oil & gas industry!

Can you understand WHY Trump was asking Russia and Saudi Arabia to cut their production? It wasn't that the pandemic was causing the price of oil to decline...it was because Russia and Saudi Arabia were engaged in a price war.

Do me the courtesy of attributing quotes, GG. I'd like to see when it was that Trump made that statement.
 
Biden is the dumbest clown on earth
You must be posting from the moon, then. Character assassinations are the product of someone who isn't willing to or is unable to write clear, concise rebuttals to facts.

Some things to consider:

President Biden inherited a pandemic; a broken economy; high unemployment; a 20 year on going war in Afghanistan; a hostile ex president; and his loyal and biddable followers who are the dumbest clowns on earth.

Faux-president Biden destroyed any hope of economic recovery by reversing fossil fuel policy of his predecessor who oversaw the most robust US economy in 60 years.
This faux-president is responsible for supply chain issues caused by underemployment, the result of virus restrictions and dangerous, deadly virus policy.
What you call ‘biddable followers’ are actual Americans and America supporters.
You’re part of the problem.

What was broken about the economic infrastructure?
The same stores are still there.
 
For a person to claim he has all the answers and solutions, will bring the best and brightest to the table, audacity to say he will unite the country when his actions from the very first day speak otherwise, then he and his minions blame everything that goes wrong on those that disagree, fail to toe his line, and when that fails the former administration and international pandemic, he promised to cure, is beyond salvation. America you voted for this old, get along, giddy up man to represent you, how’s that working out for you? Thank God he’s transitory!
 
All America haters are the problem.
Yeah, everyone knows.

STATEMENT: "What was broken about the economic infrastructure?"

RESPONSE: The pandemic and the idiots who claimed it was a hoax.

COMMENT: The same stores are still there

ANSWER: Wrong, many small businesses have closed their doors. A product of Amazon and other on line products being sold on the Internet and delivered at residential doors; restaurants, bars, gyms, etc have closed their doors too, do to the Pandemic (you know the hoax and trump's promise it was goiung to go a way in the summer of 2021).

If you don't live in the worst of slums, most of the stores are still there and have reopened.

Really, prove it. There are a lot of signs for lease in the SF Bay (Tri Valley) Area where I live that were once small shops, restaurants mostly. BTW, there are no slums in the Bay Area.

Where the hell do you live?
Counties across the country didn't collect taxes from businesses due to hardships.
