Trump didn’t lose in 2020. America did. President Joe Biden is still projecting blame for his destruction of our energy sector onto everyone and anyone but himself. Now, he’s blaming gas stations for gouging prices at the pump. This is just ridiculous. There are laws against it, and gas stations generally make less profit per gallon than water bottling companies. The price at the pump is going up because of one man: Joe Biden. accusations
“My message to the companies running gas stations and setting prices at the pump is simple: this is a time of war and global peril,” Biden tweeted on Sunday. “Bring down the price you are charging at the pump to reflect the cost you’re paying for the product. And do it now.”

Don’t forget this one:
It’s hard to believe this has to be said, but unlike this president, I’ll do my job and take responsibility. I won’t blame others. And I’ll never forget that the job isn’t about me — it’s about you.

Yeah, right.
The gall of this guy denies belief in a Benevolent Being!
The US Oil and Gas Association responded in kind.
“Working on it Mr. President,” the association tweeted. “In the meantime – have a Happy 4th and please make sure the WH intern who posted this tweet registers for Econ 101 for the fall semester.”

Some might say that’s a rude reply to the POTUS. Were they around while Trump was president? Besides, Joe Biden caused the price of oil and gasoline to skyrocket. Nobody is dumb enough to believe Biden’s scapegoating. He did it, and it was intentional. And to have the absurd notion that he could just blame it away on the oil industry means he deserves all the disrespect he gets.
The association also reminded everyone how we should be using our own resources to produce energy.

Western Energy gave the administration a little reality check:
“Claim by @StateDept: Oil industry has everything it needs. Reality: What we need is a partner in the Biden Admin instead of the months-long blame game & overreaching regs like the @SECGov climate disclosure rule. Details on @FoxNews @SpecialReport — video.foxnews.com/v/6308740979112”

A short while later, Western Energy followed up with another tweet and posted the letter that was sent to Biden. And in case Biden lies and says he never received it, the oil companies listed in the coalition CC’d White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain.
“To help the Biden administration understand what the U.S. oil & natural gas industry needs to help lower prices at the pump, we joined a coalition that’s invited him to visit domestic production facilities before traveling to Saudi Arabia next month. The invite remains open.”

Do you blame the oil companies for making bold suggestions at Biden? They are being blamed for something that is not their fault by the very man who is responsible for the rising costs of gas at the pump. The national average is currently $4.80 per gallon as of this writing, yet it has already surpassed the $5 range before it dropped down again. Gas is averaging 54% more than at this same time last year.
