Just use common sense. Of course that leaves leftists out of the equation.

Yeah . . . who knew? That is aside from everyone with a functioning brain.

LOL... they'll deflect with other prices... not realizing lower fuel costs affect everything else...

Well to be fair to our leftists they only KNOW what they are told to KNOW by their media outlets which in turn filters what the DNC tell them to tell leftists.

True

He's got a magic wand though

"President Trump took office in January 2017, and oil production returned to the growth mode seen during Obama’s first seven years in office. Producers broke the previous monthly oil production record set in 1970 in October of Trump’s first year in office. Trump did pass pro-oil policies, but the OPEC+ production cuts that began raising oil prices were the biggest factor that returned growth back to pre-OPEC price war levels.

Often lost in the discussion is that as a result of rising oil prices, the average gasoline price in the U.S. actually increased during Trump’s first three years in office--until the COVID-19 pandemic arrived.

The pandemic famously collapsed both oil prices--which briefly turned negative as stay-at-home orders were implemented--and oil production, which dropped by a staggering 3 million barrels per day in April and May 2020. When people fondly remember gasoline prices that dropped below $2.00 a gallon under President Trump, that was the only time it happened.

When President Biden assumed office in January 2021, oil production had recovered back to 11.2 million bpd, which was still 1.8 million bpd below the pre-pandemic peak. But oil production growth would resume in Biden’s second year. In each of his last two years in office, the U.S. would again set production records for both oil and natural gas production. Oil production growth was significantly helped by the price surge that took place in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, demonstrating once again the power of macro factors to move production (although Biden also made decisions that had an impact on oil prices).

Before we zoom in on President Trump’s second term to date, let’s review. There have been major factors moving the oil markets over the past 24 years, but few of them are related to actions by a president. It is true that Presidents Obama and Biden passed clean energy policies and were generally hostile to oil and gas production. Nevertheless, Obama presided over the greatest expansion of oil and gas production in U.S. history, while Biden oversaw production records in natural gas all four years he was in office, and oil production records his last two years in office."
