it was around $2.55 for me, it went down slightly when trump took over to lowest around $2.25 for me, but now approaching 4 dollars.
Perhaps Republicans didn't know there was also a price jump when Russia invaded Ukraine
I believe inflation was actually 4 pct in Jan 2021 and was being driven by global commodity prices affected by COVID around the world.
NOT A WAR of choice or any economic policies.
Biden inherited COVID from Trump and had to battle it every day.
DJT asked oil companies to donate/ grift his campaign $1 billion and now because of the war with Iran and closure of the strait of Hormuz, their profits are at an all time high. Follow the money.
Our strategic petroleum reserves are at lowest since 1983. Biden was replenishing SPR and counteracting the boycotts against Russia because of the invasion of Ukraine. Since the unprovoked attack on Iran, oil prices have been fluctuating due to DJT pump and dump schemes with market manipulation.
Brent crude topped $120 per barrel in early-to-mid 2022 as economic activity roared back from COVID lockdowns faster than global production could recover.
In April of 2020 it was -32 per barrel. Because of COVID.
The price of gas under Biden was due to COVID 19 and the lower demand for fuel, production dropped significantly so when travel got back to normal and demand went up...so did the price of gas/oil.
From Trump's promise to fix everything on Day 1 to
two years of "This is only Temporary"
No amount of spin in the world can cover for this disaster of an administration.
