No.

Is there any surprise that when Biden's energy secretary approached idled refinery owners about restarting, they were rebuffed? No, again tens of billions to be made.

Republicans are continuing to lie about the high price of oil, the high price of gas and their root causes. Shielding the culprits who are making tens of billions extra in profits by fleecing Americans under the action of Trump in 2020 and Big Oil today.
Poor Biden. It’s everyone else’s fault but his that his approval rating is in the gutter. Inflation is out of control, our economy is heading into a recession, the botched withdrawal in Afghanistan, the subsequent emboldening of Putin to invade Ukraine as we appear weak, illegal migrants pouring into our country, baby formula shortage, etc. …None of those things should be blamed on poor old Joe.

Tell us Seran how Americans wrongfully disapprove of Biden’s job as president more so than Trump. Who’s fault is it?
