When gas prices hit record highs, Joe Biden blamed Vladimir Putin. When the price came down slightly, Joe Biden took full credit. Now that they are shooting back up, Biden’s not sure who to blame but a former Obama stooge has stepped in and said it’s Donald Trump’s fault for making OPEC drastically cut oil production.
Before Biden stole the White House, America had energy independence and gas was no more than $2 a gallon. Since Biden took over, he’s destroyed our energy independence pushing his green agenda and gas is at an all time high.
Biden drained our Strategic Petroleum Reserves to no avail and begged Saudi Arabia to pump more oil. As The NY Post reports, Biden holds no sway on the international scene:
The Biden administration’s scramble to avoid another surge in US gas prices took a major hit Wednesday after OPEC and Russia approved a significant cut in oil production.
Oil jumped to $87 on Wednesday after the OPEC+, a group of oil-producing nations that includes Russia, slashed output limits by 2 million barrels per day. The cut would mark the largest drop in OPEC+ oil production since 2020 and add additional pressure to global energy markets already reeling from the Russia-Ukraine conflict…
The cuts were approved even after the Biden administration attempted a “full-scale pressure campaign” in a bid to convince OPEC+ not to slash output…
OPEC+ ministers are seeking to bolster the price of oil, which has declined in recent months as fears mount about a potential global recession. Experts had already warned that tightness in energy markets this winter – with Europe on the verge of a full-blown energy crisis – could send oil prices much higher.
As The Post has reported, experts say the Biden administration’s restrictive policy stance on domestic energy producers have exacerbated the price problem.
Just in case anyone thinks this is yet another problem Joe Biden has created, here’s former Obama aide, Tommy Vietor, to the rescue:
MBS leading the charge to CUT oil production a month from the midterms should be viewed as a deliberate political act. The Saudis want Trump to be president so they get total impunity for their human rights abuse, and staff like Kushner they can buy and sell. No more fist bumps. https://t.co/6ueox3AM5u

Wow, Vietor managed to wrap the Trump/Russia collusion lie and the Trump-is-owned-by-the-Saudis myth into a unified bullshit narrative.
Besides the fact that everything he wrote is untrue, there’s still a huge problem with this: what has Joe Biden done to hold Saudi Arabia accountable for anything?
If the Saudis want Trump to be president because they can get away with human rights abuses, wouldn’t that mean that Biden has done something to the country in regards to human rights abuses?
The only thing Biden has done was fist-bump the Crown Prince, MBS, and grovel at his feet for more oil.
If you go back and read the NY Post reporting, the real reason why OPEC is slashing oil production is because the global recession and inflation, caused largely by Joe Biden, has the oil producing nations strapped for cash, just like everyone else.
If private citizen Donald Trump had the power do anything, he would restore America’s energy independence and create an economic situation where the the stock market and real estate weren’t in the crapper. Again, just like everyone else, Trump’s personal wealth is taking major hit because of Joe Biden’s failed policies.
