Maybe I didn’t make myself clear. I’m not saying Trump conspired with the Saudis to drive up oil prices.
I’m simply saying he, and Republicans in general, benefit politically from higher oil prices.
You’re not denying that, are you?
Haven’t you heard? The economy is GREAT!! Bidenomics for the win, we all swimming in great economic success. High gas prices? Nah, that won’t bring the greatest economy since ever to it’s knees and lose this for Biden.
Besides, Biden and his press sec (did you know she is a black lesbian?) have stated that gas prices are dropping. Lower than last summer.
The rest of the nation is not seeing that in reality but since when does reality every enter into this admin’s fantasy world?
There is a whole lot more to the economy and inflation than oil prices. The fact is, crude prices today are little different than they were ten years ago.
How about this?
Oil prices drive up gas prices. People hate higher gas prices.
Who takes the blame politically (rightly or wrongly) when prices are high?
It’s about perception, not reality. People have short-term memories.
Have you missed all the posts here bitching about gas prices under Biden and how much better it was under Trump?
Yes, my oil stocks have skyrocketed since Biden became President. Thank you Biden.
And we realize when Trump’s name is gratuitously thrown in there with something like high oil prices it is meant to create a relationship with something it is not related to. But thanks for being explicit about it.
It’s puzzling when you lash out at “external” forces interfering but when it’s “internal”…like the CIA, FBI or “51 retired intelligence officers” interfering…you’re quiet? Why is that?
