True, but it didn't help that the Biden Administration drained a third of the SPR because they didn't want a spike in gas prices in the run-up to the 2022 mid-terms. I seem to recall hearing how brilliant it was to buy-low, sell-high as if that was the purpose of the SPR.

And then re- filled it netting the country’s treasury millions of dollars.

The Biden administration talked up the profits, but, in fact, they didn't put back nearly as much as they withdrew from the SPR.

Biden wasn’t perfect so it excises Trump being a compete disaster?

Come on, be serious.

Well Trump did not refill it when oil was cheap. So it’s Trump fault.

Trump had been gradually refilling the SPR before he was stupid enough to start the war.

Trump delivers again! Take that, liberals!

I wonder how much the Iran War has cost Americans, if you assume the price of gas for the past 3 and a half months would have been $3.00 per gallon if the war had never happened.

As if may 22, $60 billion, so probably closer to 90 now.

lol it was 130 billion in May. 2 billion a day.

That's just gas-at-the-pump cost. It gets amplified significantly into what it added in terms of cost to truck goods around the country, and many other things - that cost is over a trillion.

lol sure dude! Trump is the best! If only Trump had been president none of this would have happened. It is Biden and Obama’s fault and Carter. Trump is so smart. Wish he was president now.

It will end with everyone passing through Straight of Hormuz paying some kind of fee.
Probably Trump is at Camp David for off the record phone calls and advice from his right wing Fox News hosts.

The dotard took 20 minutes from his "busy" schedule to give an interview to a Fox correspondent based in Jerusalem during which he issued a lot of threats against Iran. His "brilliant" negotiating style is the same as it always has been--threats and intimidation. Note to Trump: when you lose your cool and start threatening your opponent, you have already lost.

Just because Trump's by far the worst President we've ever had, that doesn't absolve Biden's misuse of the SPR for political reasons.

Biden's use of the SPR netted the country "a profit of about $3.5 billion."

How is this even up as a criticism?

This is beyond a debacle. What a fing moron. Would be funny if not so tragic for the world.

Thanks GOP!

If Trump attempted to take over the Strait of Hormuz and take 20% of the oil, that would pull China and Russia in against us. Please no, I don't want WW3.

We should just leave. Israel will never stop. Iran won't accept less than Israel's withdrawal from southern Lebanon. The gulf states will never directly oppose Iran and fight alongside Israel. China is inches from just ignoring our sanctions entirely and financially supporting Iran. Russia has a route to supply Iran through the Black sea. Europe has had enough of Israel's cruel behavior (no matter if it's justified or not).

Here's my solution: Spain should blockade all Israel's vessels through the Strait of Gibraltar in response to the treatment of the Gaza aid flotilla. They have the public support, and Trump can be convinced.

We'll take over the rest of the country.
We'll blow the shit out of them, Iran or Iraq or whatevah it is.
We’ll be the gahdian angel of the Dire Straits,
And take all the oil.

A year ago we didn’t have a country,
And now we’re the hottest country anywhere in the world.

The Biden Administration inherited a reserve with about 650 M barrels and left it with less than 400 M. At a withdrawal rate of 4 M barrels per day, that's more than 50 days of strategic cushion that was wasted on the "profit".

That would be brilliant. With EU support.
