My fossil fuel based stocks sunk into the basement under The Don. Thanks to Uncle Joe they are booming again. Most gas stations have stopped the $100 cutoff. Let the good times roll.

Democrats are feeling the pain too and they will vote ( or stand by this election) accordingly.

And to think Donnie's cheap gas only cost us about 400,000 Covid-19 deaths.

There are a lot of bad things that can be said about trump, many of them true, but not sure how covid can be blamed on him. That's really grasping.

Nobody blames Trump for causing covid, but his handling of the pandemic was inept, certainly when compared to other G7 nations.

When Trump took office, there were no covid deaths in the US. When Biden took office, US daily covid deaths were raging at an all time high. When the Trump presidency ended, it ended badly as all things Trump normally do, see Trump University, Trump Airlines, Trump Steaks, Trump casinos, etc. GDP growth was negative, we lost nearly 3 million jobs, unemployment stood at 6.3% and gas prices were already climbing. Now, daily covid deaths are about 1/10 of where Trump left it, GDP growth is positive, unemployment is below 4% and we’ve added a record number of jobs.

Gasoline prices are currently high because demand is high and demand is high because we are no longer sequestered in our homes. World crude oil production hit a low in the summer of 2020. Even though it has been climbing since then, production hasn't kept pace with demand - yet.

Yes, inflation is also way too high, but it has probably peaked. Unfortunately, it won’t reach pre-pandemic levels until supply chain issues are resolved. When will that happen? Who knows, but probably not before November.

Glad to see you now finally put stock in those covid death figures.

Stupidest post of the month.

Then by your logic, Sleepy's expensive gas cost us about 600,000 Wuhan virus deaths.

You can see my logic right above.

So you are blaming Trump for the economic hardships that the Wuhan virus pandemic caused, and giving Biden credit for the economic turn around once lock downs were lifted? That is rich.

Before the Wuhan pandemic, the US economy was doing great and was the envy of the world. This was in direct correlation to Trump's tax cuts and other policies. Under the bone-headed Sleepy admin, we stoked the fires of inflation with the idiot Wuhan virus relief packages. Only a complete fool would credit Sleepy with any positive impact to our economy.

The economy under Trump was tracking the trend set up by Obama, at least until Trump mismanaged the pandemic response. Show me a trend that Trump turned around due to his policies - unemployment, GDP, stock market, anything, I'll let you pick the economic metric.

Trump mismanaged the pandemic response?! Malarkey! Far more died with Sleepy at the helm and he had two vaccines. Remember Sleepy saying he was "going to shut down this virus!"? Fail.

Here are Trump's accomplishments: https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/tr ... lishments/

Happy reading, Skippy.
