USA was not energy independent. We still imported oil from Russia, and Saudia Arabia. And the only reason gas was $1.79 a gallon was because of covid. There was no demand for it, so prices went down. THEN tRump told the oil industry he was going to save them, and blackmailed Saudia Arabia into cutting oil production. He told them he wouldnt sell them weapons they had already made a deal for, unless they cut oil production for at least the next 2 years. So they cut oil production by 20 MILLION BARRELS PER DAY. You will never convince me that cutting that much oil production wasnt/isnt one of the main drivers of inflation around the world. And when tRump left office, gas was $2.40 a gallon, and rising. So it went from $1.79 to $2.40. Which is a 61 cent raise. And consider that the Saudis were to keep production low through 2022, its still one of the main drivers of inflation. And Now the Saudis are siding with Russia, and are going to cut production even further. And Russia just cut another 700,000 barrels per day, so for those that still get Russian oil, and oil from Saudia Arabia, it is going to add to their higher inflation.
The U.S. was buying oil from Russia in 2020, and for many years before. For instance, Russia accounted for 7% of total U.S. imports of petroleum in 2020 and 7.9% of those imports in 2021.
And his tax cuts only help the rich. His tax cuts were not paid for, and he rose the Debt by 30%. Consider in his 4 years, he added 30% to the total debt. More than any other president. And he did it in 4 years.
And his deregulation has been a mess. He deregulated banks that are now going to possibly fail. He deregulated the EPA, and let our water, and air get even more polluted that it already is. He cut 100 EPA regulations, for big business. He deregulated safety precautions for the railroads. Hows that workin out??
Fair Trade?? Under tRump more farmers went out of business. He screwed the baby formula thing. We used to get baby formula from Canada, and his fucking with NAFTA was a direct result of having the formula shortage. He cost the american taxpayers, and farmers Billions with his trade practices on China, and is so fucking stupid, tried to sell the shit that China was the one paying the penalties, and not the USA tax payers, which was a crock of shit. tRumps trade practices cost the American Taxpayers 3 BILLION a Month. 80 Billion on the Taxpayers, and more than 46 BILLION AS 0F 2020 on businesses. tRumps trade policies will cost the USA 1.8 TRILLION DOLLARS OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS. As OF 2020.
Experts said the gains companies realized by lower corporate taxes were mitigated by the economic damage Trump inflicted with his protectionist trade agenda. “Trump’s trade policy was dictated by his personal belief that tariffs are good and trade wars are easy to win, and that China is paying all these tariffs. That is demonstrably wrong, and this unilateral imposition of trade tariffs, not just on China but on American allies, has been a total, abject failure,” Kirkegaard said.
And its hogwash he rebuilt the military. In reality he actually cut spending.
tRump had a $2.5 trillion total Department of Defense (DOD) budget-- comparatively speaking, Obama's budget was about $3.3. trillion during his first term and $2.7 trillion during his second term. So Obama spent more than tRump did.
And 56% of the American people support sending aid, and weapons to Ukraine.
When TrUMP LEFT OFFICE UNEMPLOYMENT WAS AT 6.6%. NOW ITS 3.5%
tRump was the 1st president in almost 100 years that had less jobs, than when he started.
