Everything from oil to fertilizer to engine parts have run up.

This was happening in November before the invasion and it’s just moved a little faster than it would have now.

I know under Trump we didn’t have wars and inflation.

We had a Covid-provided world-wide recession, so gas prices were low. But please explain through what mechanism Trump prevented Putin from starting a war. Threats? Yeah right.

Orange man green lighted Putin, who must have some hold him.

False. Here are the facts

Under Trump:
No war
Economic prosperity
Low fuel prices
Lowest monitory unemployment in history


Under Biden
War
High gas prices
High food prices
High inflation
Failure in Afghanistan
Skyrocketing inflation in commodities


Trump has enacted tough sanctions on Putin:

Biden lifted the sanctions and green-lighted Putin
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-57180674.amp

As we see form facts, Biden’s actions emboldened Putin and despite Zelensky and others begging, the US didn’t reinstate the sanctions

GDP growth was negative 3.5% in 2020 and unemployment was over 14%. Yes, gas prices were low because Trump plunged us into a recession. We were all there. We know you are lying.

There was a thing called COVID. And by the time Trump left office, the economy was already sharply rebounding and unemployment sharply falling. Not that he'll get credit for it.

I can tell the Democrats are spinning everything to protect Biden and the fact that they elected a third rate failure who's turning out to be worse than Trump was. And Trump was awful as a president on many levels, but at least we didn't have wars happening under Trump or skyrocketing oil prices or inflation. Dare I say I miss the first three years of Trump? As long as I turned off the TV and didn't pay attention to the hysterical pundits talking about Russian collusion, things were pretty good.

Never forget what Barack Obama said: never underestimate Joe Biden's ability to **** things up.

Biden is responsible for a war in another country but Trump was NOT responsible for COVID in this country. Those are some serious mental gymnastics lol.

Maybe think about this --- all of things happening now that people think are bad are the fault of no president, neither Trump nor Biden. They are the result of other forces out there that are shaping events. I am a conservative republican and I think Biden is doing a fine job. Inflation is not his fault. It is. It is a thing. No one, the Fed, any president can reallyt impact it at the moment. It will right itself. Ukraine -- Biden handling well. Not perfect but well. People just need to chill.

Biden issued an executive order his first week in office that is making that happen. Domestic oil production is crippled.

As a pp stated, when Trump was president gas was reasonably priced, and Putin didn’t invade Ukraine. Somehow Biden is allowing the invasion to to happen, and inflation is at a 40 year high, and people are blaming Trump. Trump isn’t president. Biden is. It’s Biden’s responsibility to deal with current issues. Every president takes the reins and provides leadership, there’s no magic spell to erase history and provide him with a bank slate from which to govern.

The theme seems to be that Trump is still more powerful than Biden is, and Biden is the president.

Trump weakened NATO.
So sick of hearing republicans whine about Biden not cleaning up Trump’s mess fast enough.

NATO was weak period. Taking our USA $$$$, talent and equipment boob away was necessary for everyone to grow up. Call a spade a spade. NATO wants to work with the U.S. then pay for it, we can't pay NATO and supply everything.

Eh, if more wasteful people would buy fuel efficient cars instead of giant SUVs they use to only go to the grocery store and school pickup, demand decreases and prices decrease. (And yes, I know that certain professions need large vehicles. Most people driving them aren't in those professions.)

Can someone point to an article showing Biden ordering wells to be shut down? Thanks.

Actually that’s false. Here are the facts:
Trump warned Europe in 2018 their reliance on Russian energy is an inherent security risk - Germans laughed
He told them we needed to work together to be more energy independent
He imposed sanctions in 2019 on Russia.

Under Biden:
Sanctions lifted
Putin emboldened and invades Ukraine for the second time under and Obama/Biden regime.


NATO was obligated to the 2% GDP
https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/topics_67655.htm

In 2006, NATO Defence Ministers agreed to commit a minimum of 2% of their Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to defence spending to continue to ensure the Alliance's military readiness.

The US was the one of the few who was doing so or surpassed the requirement.

NATO was weakened by the Allie’s not contributing their fair share. I know liberals love that fair share stuff so look at it like that

The bull of NATO force was US or US based. Unacceptable. Trump urged members to contribute more including Germany who is powerful and able to do so.
They refused.

Putin, seeing a weak US administration and a weak NATO made the move after Trump’s departure and after Biden’s removal of tough Trump sanctions.

All of these are facts. What isn’t a fact is Trump weakened anyone. He didn’t. He saw the writing on the wall and called it.

That’s why under Trump there was no war and was no inflation.

I’m beer Biden and Obama we have Russian invasions into Ukraine twice and now we’re in the verge of hyperinflation as gas prices climb.

When Trump suggested “energy independence” everyone knows that he was just selling US oil. He wanted them to drill for more oil in the USA to benefit his rich friends and keep the campaign cash flowing. He just used “security” as the excuse. How do I know that it was an excuse? Because he consistently worked to undermine NATO in words and action. He threatened to reduce funding for NATO. He was a Putin apologist his entire term. We all watched it happen for four years. He still refuses to criticize Putin. Putin invaded once he knew he was not going to be able to advance his goals by directly influencing the POTUS anymore.

Where did the administration do this yelling? Could you please cite it?

Or are you upset that we are not funding Russia's war by buying their oil?

If Trump had defended Ukraine rather than signaling it was in play, then Putin would not be invading right now.

So yes, we can blame Trump (and Putin)
