When gas was under $2 nationwide in Trump's last year in office, WHY DIDN'T HE NEED TO PUSH FOR SUPPLY CUTS THEN, YOU MORON? Our low energy costs were one of the primary reasons that Trump was able to bring us a booming economy that your idiots simply threw away the minute they were elected! The ONLY time production needed to be reduced was when Democrats forced businesses and schools to shut down because of Covid, and it was the oil companies, NOT TRUMP who couldn't sell the same volume they were producing before, and THEY slowed or halted production.
Once we become energy independent again, the excess we have can be sold to our allies bringing BILLIONS into this country's coffers and hurting the income that both Iran and Russia are now reaping those tens of billions from, thanks to the idiot pair that brainless idiots like YOU stuck us with! And that additional revenue will be added to the nearly 1 million barrels of oil per day that we'll ALSO get when Trump completes the Keystone XL pipeline, which your idiots stopped construction of on day one!
As far as your own lack of intelligence goes in the field of economics (where you claim to be an expert despite your proven stupidity) you obviously have ZERO understanding of the laws of supply and demand, which is one of the first things you would have learned if you really did have any worthwhile schooling on the economy.

Look dickhead! NOBODY gives a **** WHAT idiotic metric you prefer to use to detract from what every other president WISHES he could have done to make us energy independent. It's completely irrelevant if we still imported any oil or not. The fact is that once we began SELLING US OIL at a higher rate than we needed to import it, THAT is how energy independence is determined! Even a moron like you should be able to understand that if we export far more oil than we're importing, we could just as easily cut out the exports if we needed that oil here in the US.*JohnEdgarSlowHorses » 24 Oct 2024, 3:27 pm » wrote: ↑ The USA was NOT energy independent under Trump.

Energy independence would include phasing out all imports of foreign energy resources, and instead relying on domestic production to fuel the economy. By this metric, the US has not achieved energy independence.
Trump Just Achieved What Every President Since Nixon Had Promised: Energy Independence
Investors Business Daily 12/07/2018
Energy Security: Last week, the U.S. exported more oil than we imported, for the first time in 70-plus years. And it happened not because of decades of federal "energy policies," but despite them.
The United States Was Energy Independent in 2019 for the First Time Since 1957
By IER May 11, 2020press@ierdc.org
U.S. energy production in 2019 was higher than U.S. energy consumption for the first time in 62 years. Thus, the U.S. attained the long-held goal of “energy independence”—which is not to say that we did not import or export energy, but that we produced more energy than we used. One can thank the oil and gas industry and its use of hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling for that milestone as production in those industries increased a combined 11 percent in 2019.
If gross export exceeds gross import, a net export is achieved, thus energy independence because you can eliminate the imports...*JohnEdgarSlowHorses » 24 Oct 2024, 3:27 pm » wrote: ↑ The USA was NOT energy independent under Trump.

Here stupid. It's long past time you educate your ignorant self instead of being the happy fool who thinks he found a way to detract from Trump's great accomplishments because that's what they tell you on CNN:

For true energy independence, for lower energy prices, and for our own health and well-being, we must urgently invest in clean energy.Zeets2 » 24 Oct 2024, 3:46 pm » wrote: ↑ Look dickhead!
