And helping Russia, Trump is the one that was all over Europe about buying from Russia and told them exactly what was going to happen if they did not get off Russian energy. Witholding funding? Yeah, he held up military aid to Ukraine due to their corruption, then sent it. Obama/Biden never sent one ounce of lethal aid to Ukraine. Covid? He got us 3 vaccines in a year when it always has taken 15 to get one. And even though he inherited 3 vaccines from the Trump era, more people have died under Biden's time in office than under Trumps. But you notice the nightly death count is not shown on the news anymore, wonder why? And yeah, it cost me 84 dollars to fill my Grand Cherokee a few minutes ago, when under Trump I could do it for about 43 dollars. You're darn right I care about cheaper gas.

The shale industry needs oil above $100 a barrel to operate.  That's not helping the consumer.  Part of that deal was to help Russia's economy too.


Trump had many, many issues with Germany and the rest of our allies.  But this was speaking out of both sides of his mouth as he made deals to help Russia's oil industry but said Europe should stop buying as from them.

The vaccines were created under his administration, absolutely.  Allowing companies to function quickly was a good move.  He gets credit for happening while he was in office.  That his supporters refused to then TAKE the vaccine because he lost an election added more deaths that I think you want to acknowledge.

And yeah, gas was cheaper during a global economic tragedy caused by a virus that Trump downplayed for MONTHS when he knew better.  But then when the economy came back and oil production had been slashed (see your first point of praise for DJT) prices...wait for it...went up.

So do you blame Trump for making a deal to cut oil production, help end the pandemic (or at least slow it down) and thereby causing gas prices to rise too?

And, most importantly since you didn't answer this one, do you think he should still be going around the country holding rallies and telling people he really won in 2020 and that it was all fixed in the states he lost (not in the ones he won, of course)?
