Gas was $2 under Trump! Biden made gas expensive!

What You Say

Gas prices are set by global oil markets, not presidential tweets. Prices crashed to $2 in 2020 because a pandemic destroyed demand — not because of Trump's energy policy. When the economy reopened and Russia invaded Ukraine, prices spiked worldwide. U.S. oil production hit record highs under Biden. Presidents get too much credit and blame for gas prices.

The Stab

Gas was cheap because nobody was driving to work during a plague. That's not an energy policy — that's a lockdown.
