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.


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.


Secretary of State Clinton was warning Germany not to rely on Russia well before Trump.

She should have, she was Secretary of State and had info. Trump didn’t until he was elected and he called them out.

We’d be in a better place if the democrats didn’t work in fake Russian collusion stories fir three years

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:
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-50875935.amp

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.



By the mid terms gas will be at $7 a gallon and 1 million people will be dead because of Covid, because there’s already 1,400 deaths a week and the death toll is at 960,000.

There’s only so much you can blame on other people, the past president, or foreign leaders. At some point you have to take ownership and lead.

I'm looking forward to $10 a gallon gas. It will spur the development of alternative energy and will encourage the production of electric cars and will also encourage Americans to take public transport and drive a lot less. It will stop this mindless commuting for millions of Americans who have no need to commute to work to sit in front of a computer all day when they can do their entire job at home, saving gas and money.

Bring it on! Life will be a lot better when gas costs $10 a gallon.

whats the state gas tax % or fixed for CA again?


Gas in CA is $5.50 per gallon today. The air in LA is so much cleaner since they imposed the gas tax. I remember being unable to breathe in LA because of the layer of brown smog hanging over the city.

Yes. And Trump acts like he is the first and only one to realize this. What are you even talking about democrats working on fake Russian collusion? Like seriously. You are just vomiting up words that have no meaning. You need to understand that Trump didn’t understand the point of NATO. He tired to end it during his term and certainly would have destroyed the alliance if he had been granted a second term. Idiot Trumpers wanted to burn it all down with Trump.
Well here it is. We’ll be cleaning up his mess for decades.

Thread. 18 tweets with the receipts of how Biden and the Democrats have declared war on the oil industry and contributed to the steep price increase.

Just so you all understand, high energy prices means poor Americans can't heat their homes and can't feed themselves, due to high cost of food, which needs to be farmed and delivered with equipment that works on fossil fuels.






So in the short-term, it means Democrats are stuck between raising the debt ceiling again to distribute aid to needy Americans, or losing at the polls. Badly.




I am all for sanctioning Russia to the extreme, nevertheless. The most important factor is for Europe to wean itself off Russian oil and gas. They made noises in that direction, but it has to be more forceful than that. Americans can help Europe find other sources of oil and gas.

Here's some context for pp's "facts": Trump only imposed sanctions because he was forced to do so. It was 6 months late and he was legally mandated.

Someone commented to me the other day the Democrats are now entirely the party of Tesla drivers and bus riders and very few in between.

The observation is general but there is truth to it. It would explain why the Democratic leadership in DC seem so tone deaf to inflation and the effects of higher gas prices at the pumps. I don't think we've had an administration that came off as so aloof and uncaring to the needs of everyday Americans. Telling people just to go out and buy EVs doesn't exactly help the image.
