And your guy did NOTHING which poured gas on a fire..... OWN IT.
Except try to basically rescind it...which was impossible since it was such a huge gift and they wanted to stick it to trump for lying to them about Iran...and then release a large portion of the SPR. But you do you, Puddin'.
It doesn't take much thought if you're honest. You learn in any entry level economics course that if you remove a huge portion of a product from the global market place by one of the biggest suppliers that prices will go up, way up.
To be frank - Biden was/is a pu$$y and Iran was not going to do anything for him because they have no respect for or fear of him.
Trump did not put a deal in place the he was not prepared to deal with at the end. You can continue to place 100% of the blame on the MOB, but Biden did not do anything except weaken our SPR which dropped gas a couple cents for a couple days (maybe). But you know, if any real life event that really needed SPR access actually happens now, we are not even close to the position of strength we were 4 years ago.
I stay far away from my professional lane on this board for a reason, and you do not know what that is (what or why). Economically speaking, I have plenty of background to understand all of this. I may over simplify what I post here, but do not mistake that for a lack of understanding of it.
If you want to keep pounding on "who inherits what", Trump is (likely) about to inherit millions and millions (and millions) of illegal immigrants who are wreaking havoc in our cities and towns around the country. Mayorkas should be in front of a firing squad for what he allowed to happen (under orders from his masters including the Border Czar).
Unlike Mr. "oh gosh, there is nothing I can do about this oil deal I inherited", DJT is going to do everything in his power to try to fix what he inherited at the Border among the other F-Ups this administration is leaving him with.
Go vote for Kamala, then sleep tight with your decision. I do recommend buying some new pillows to hug tightly for the next 4 years while you quake in fear of the hurt feels....
