This was a heavy spike globally, not just US

Following the 2022 invasion, oil prices increased roughly 50% in weeks as a direct result

In 2022 I think he released reserves of gas to try to offset some of the costs of gas after the invasion and plenty of major countries like the U.S. and UK then banning Russian oil imports, but beyond that I think prices were basically due to Covid and the Russian Ukraine conflict happening during his presidency much more than as a result of any minor actions he took

There’s a very slim argument to be made that Biden fucking with the reserves could’ve made gas prices worse, but in practice it actually helped given the bizarre position the world was in. There’s literally no explanation for gas prices right now other than trump having water in his brain. Totally avoidable. 100 percent unnecessary. But the people around Trump wanted to see Arab flesh burn, and trumps too demented to stop them.

A global disaster happened 4 years ago, and Russia invaded Ukraine. Two things outside of the US control. What happened this time kiddo?

True. A massive global spike, the US actually recovered from it faster than almost anyone else.

Yeah I meant it as in getting out the reserves did help, it was just so bad when the Ukraine Russia thing started that it wasn’t enough to completely offset it or anything

Don’t forget the Keystone XL Pipeline & drilling regulations. Though I agree with Biden on those decisions, they had an impact. Not as big as the ban on Russian oil though

The keystone pipeline was always just a piece of bullshit rhetoric from Trump. It had nothing to do with gas prices. It would have brought a small amount of heavy tar sands oil to refineries and export terminals in louisiana. I'm not aware of any new regulations Biden imposed on the oil and gas industry. Trump loved to blame Biden for,things and create this stark contrast but biden actually did very little that affected day to day gasoline prices

Yeah like I said, the pipeline isn’t that significant. But those pipelines are still crucial for the transportation of oil, and would slash costs for certain regions. Wouldn’t have a huge impact for consumers
