Burgum: "The US right now is the most energy affordable nation in the world. President Trump is in the strongest position of any US leader ever going into a discussion with China."

Your gonna suffer for so long😬😱 but what to expect when you wote for a fxk pedophile and a criminal, all republicans are laughing at the dems for playing fair all the time😅 you got no way out of this

Surround yourself with enough people telling you you're doing a great job (even if you're clearly not) and you won't need to question whether you're doing a great job. The Art of the Deal is just telling lies until everyone stops questioning truths.

Fox News has had an audience of one for years now. It explains why they constantly glaze Trump in the most absurd ways possible. Everyone on air is auditioning in hopes of getting a bullshit federal job.

In June 2022, MAGA & Heritage Foundation called halting gas tax & opening reserves a “gimmick” when Biden was working to ease the burden of high gas prices as CEO’s gouged them during Covid recovery. Where’s 24/7 ads reminding the public of MAGA fecklessness? www.heritage.org/climate/comm...

heritage.orgBiden’s Gas Tax Gimmick Avoids Real SolutionsOn Wednesday, the Biden administration officially called for Congress to enact a “holiday” on the federal gas tax lasting from July through September.

I guess at this point we are just playing a game of how far from reality do their statements have to get before even Fox Newsheads start saying, "Wait a second, they seem to be saying the exact opposite of the truth!"

The question now is how much Trump will give away to Xi, including incentives to build Chinese factories in the U.S.A., to prove how powerful he is, getting virtually nothing in return.

War criminal speaks starting illegal wars and murdering and kidnaping world leaders and their citizens. The cost of being criminals to everyone when there is no accountability.

The US is tied to fossil fuels while China and the EU are decades ahead in their transition to solar, wind and hydro power sources. Trump lost the trade war with china in 2018. He’ll lose again. In agreeing to mediate talks with Iran, China has gained the upper hand over the US on the world stage.

Crazy to think that a nation of 340+ million people, with 400M firearms, is letting a bunch of old millionaire crooks in suits just lie about everything so openly, and without rebuttal, every fucking day. These ''news'' channels are just allowing non-stop propaganda in a democratic country

Really? Because what I see is a president who's precipitated what could be the greatest energy crisis in modern history, while losing a war to Iran and desperate for China's continued financial & trade support. China could end us by selling our bonds & withholding rare earths. We're not "strong."

Oh, they totally said the same thing when we had the world's best recovery from the pandemic-induced global crisis... ushered in by Biden, right? Right?

That depends on which streets have the potholes. Street pothole repair is city budget, maybe state as well. Gas tax is federal, so it goes toward interstate highway maintenance.

I have an EV and I pay a much higher wheel tax, to cover the cost revenue from the fuel taxes that I don't pay because I don't buy gas. Seems fair to me - it's essentially paying my share of road maintenance.

The CPI went up 3.8% over the year ending in April, up from 3.3% in March and 2.4% in February. Most of that is attributable to increases in the cost of energy. "You may be wretched but people in another country are more wretched than you are" isn't going to cut the mustard in November.

China is investing like crazy in renewables; the US under Trump is committed to fossil fuels and even reversing renewable energy development. That puts Trump into a relatively weak position with respect to China, and Xi knows it.

All these people are suposed to have some kind of intelligence; they made it through university. Either those universities all suck or these people lost their intelligence after graduating or..... the are lying trough their teeth. I guess it's the latter, but how long will they be able to do that?

The United States is ranked 10th in the World Energy Council (WEC) "Energy Equity" Index. Energy Equity is defined as a country’s ability to provide universal access to affordable energy. "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts." - Moynihan

**Sado-populism** is a political strategy where leaders inflict pain on their followers while convincing them that others are suffering more, often using division and scapegoating to maintain control. This approach manipulates the populace through fear and anxiety,

Gas in the US is often cheaper than in many other places worldwide. You've seen your gas prices go up; they've done so elsewhere as well. If you're paying $7 a gallon, it can be $8 or $9+ a gallon in other countries. There are places where gas is cheaper than in the US.

This guy is rich. Instead of using his golden years to sail across the world on yacht, he wakes up every morning to be one of Trump’s many cabinet cucks.

In 18th century America, a guy like Burgummeister Meisterburgum would have be tarred and feathered for blatantly lying to the public like this. Shame on him.

I swear Trump had to try really hard to fuck the economy he got from Biden this badly. Imagine if he put that much effort into improving things

It’s amazing that these Trump people continually get air on Fox News and then just lie about what is going on and constantly praise Trump. It’s every single day. So sad and ridiculous.

As of early 2026, Iran holds the title for the most affordable electricity in the world, with costs as low as \(\$0.002\) per kWh, driven by massive oil and natural gas subsidies China (lowest generation costs/high renewables), Norway (cheap hydro), and Malaysia.

Read this thread from German DER SPIEGEL and you know, nothing like that is happening. The US on decline.

Oil baron Trump meets solar prince Xi – and is worse off The two most powerful men in the world meet. While America is stopping solar parks, China is allowing more electric cars than combustion engines for the first time. The Iran war, of all things, provides Xi with the strongest argument. 1/

Imagine being a literal billionaire where you could disappear from the world, live a life of leisure, and have generations of your family taken care of. Instead this is what you choose. Embarrassing weirdos.

Yeah, cutting current green energy projects and blocking new green energy projects in the United States during of time of oil shortages and sky high oil prices puts the US in a really strong position. /s 🤣🤣🤣

The National average price of gas is $4.52. Even if he suspends the gas tax, it'll still be $4.34. I doubt most people will feel like that's a big enough relief, even MAGA folks. I expect it'd have to fall below $4/gal before anyone really takes notice.

Trump’s cabinet is a collection of knaves and fools who are also utterly predictable. If they had any self-respect or integrity, they would resign. But of course they don’t.
