You see if you look up the real stats you will see that we imported oil from other countries when Trump said this.

We weren't energy independent. We were energy dominant. And with that we not only became a net exporter of gas and oil, we destroyed Russia's oil-based economy.

Of course, you people and your idiot president revitalized it. Putin thanks you very much, comrades.

Good post. Crack an egg!

When Trump claimed we were energy independent we were importing oil.

So anyway, what's the point of this thread? Gasoline is now twice the price it was during the pre-pandemic Trump years. The inflation rate is now almost 5 times higher than it was in 2019. We're entering a recession. People's retirement accounts have lost $3 trillion dollars since Biden was elected. The price of oil rose to $130 per barrel a few months ago. Our President is begging Saudi Arabia and Venezuela for oil. We've had shortages, supply line disruptions, a steadily-increasing trade imbalance with China, an increasing epidemic of violent crime and drugs, 2 million more illegals within the last year, more COVID deaths than the entire Trump presidency, a dishonorable withdrawal from Afghanistan, Iran's nuclear program on the fast track to developing a bomb, a war in Europe, and a demented old white man in the White House, whom the world thinks is a fucking joke.

If the OP is trying to convince anyone that we're better off than we were under Trump, he's not doing a very good job of it.
