    During covid when barges were filled with oil just sitting at sea because they had no buyers were a great time to fill the reserves,but as stated Trump is fucking incompetent(And worst president ever)

    I doubt it. Trump is a lot smarter than you give him credit for. Had he had his way, as you say, he would have filled the SPR to the brim and Mexico would pay for it. It would have been something "we've never seen before" and "the greatest achievement of any American President, well maybe since Lincoln, but better than Washington. "

    Actually, lets check. Yes Donald Trump tried to buy oil for SPR when the price was $24/barrel and it was rejected by the Democrat leadership.

    How exactly is refusing to purchase at $24 then turning around and buying at $75 a good thing? Even Biden's horrible inflation cannot make that justifiable.

    So the plan is to have a $68 billion outflow for a $4 billion inflow? We havent even factored in Bidenflation.

    I guess if Pravda is going spew nonsense, then Pravda is going to spew nonsense and the useful idiots are going to fall inline.

    That's funny. The same damn thing happened when he tried to get Mexico to pay for his wall. Mexico wanted to pay for the Wall, but the Democratic leadership rejected it. I know this is true because I read it on Zerohedge.

    Following the bill’s passage in the Senate, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said in an email to senators that the revised version of the bill “eliminated [a] $3 billion bailout for big oil.”

    Now Piezoe, arent you loser that claims that the Mueller Report concluded that Donald Trump colluded with Russia. Yes, you are. Now where is the passage that actually makes that claim.

    Let's not be get hung up on Trump's failures, few as there are. Lets look at some of his greatest successes, like when he succeeded in moving Hurricane Dorian from Florida to Alabama saving the East Coast. He did it with a Sharpee. Nobody's ever seen anything like that before!

    That was a truly great achievement, but not as great as when Trump was able to identify the elephant on his cognitive test. Then later they sprung this on him and he Aced everything.

    “It was 30 or 35 questions. The first questions are very easy. The last questions are much more difficult. Like a memory question,” Trump continued. “It’s like, you’ll go, ‘Person, woman, man, camera, TV.’ So they say, ‘Could you repeat that?’ So I said, ‘Yeah.’ So it’s, ‘Person, woman, man, camera, TV.’ OK, that’s very good. If you get it in order, you get extra points.”

    Then, “10 minutes, 15, 20 minutes later” in the cognitive exam, “they say, ‘Remember the first question?’ Not the first, but the tenth question. ‘Give us that again. Can you do it?’ And you go, ‘Person, woman, man, camera, TV,’” Trump said. “They say, ‘That’s amazing, how did you do that?’ I do it because I have, like, a good memory. Because I’m cognitively there.”
