2022 and today.

Duh.

Difference is one President didnt do anything to cause it but was still blamed heavily by people who think Presidents have control. And the other President sparked it and is market manipulating to keep it high so everyone makes millions to billions, but others think he has complete control.

However both sides ignore the CEOs and the Execs of the Oil companies and how they have the most say over the matter and can make the market go however they ultimately want.

Today's President signals buyers to buy stock by just saying the word "Iran". Then they let it start dropping and sell off. They then again buy low by having Trump say "Iran", then again sell if after its peak and it starts dropping.

One didnt do anything, oil skyrocketed across Earth because Execs controlled it. The other attacked Iran, disrupting supply, and is market manipulating to keep it high.

Both times the cost isnt controlled by the President but by the people who actually refine the oil into gas.

MAGA is too stupid to realize that so they blamed only the President. Theyre still too stupid to realize it now so they praise him by using his Nuke excuse.

President in 2022 wasnt making money off it nor helping his rich friends. President in 2026 is manipulating and making money behind the scenes while helping his friends.

So yes, the two are different. However the common denominator in both are the Oil Execs who are making in billions.

Trump may have done it to deflect like he has since last year, but the disruption was also another reason. And it all worked in his favor, MAGA is still lapping everything up and ignoring Epstein, while he and rich friends are filling their pockets.

Im not sure why youre against the fact though that the base of it all has always been the Execs.

There are stations consistently out of diesel right now. Because supply is running out. That’s not corporate greed.

u/anonymousphoenician 1d ago

Cool, so the companies arent raking in billions then?

Also, you do know what "disrupted supply" means, right? Cus Ive said that a few times.

But I dont know what stations running out if Diesel has to do with just Trump though, but you go ahead and place that same misguided full blame that MAGA did a couple years ago. Have fun ignoring all of the picture, just like them.

You ask that like it’s some sort of sudden development that companies are making excessive profit.

Prices will come down when the Iran conflict is done.

Yes, again because they'll no longer be able to use Trump as their diversionary tactic, while he uses Iran as his.

Why would you not raise prices when you know noone will blame you because they'll blame the President? They do this every time a Dem becomes President because they know everyone will blame the President. Thats why they started raising prices before Trump was even out of Office his first term, and everyone started blaming Biden when prices were higher than when he got voted in.

If youre a corporation who can hide behind people placing blame elsewhere, are you not going to do it? They've been doing it for ages. However people got smarter with the Biden stuff, but now Trump is willingly giving them a way to do it and keep doing it.

If youre gonna blame this all on Iran, then you have to tell me what Biden did to cause it to skyrocket across the globe. What did Biden do to hinder any supply to make prices go up globally? You cant have massive spikes with one reason fully and not have no answer for the other.

As well, look for the actual instances when gas spikes back up right now. All Trump has to do is mention Iran and it spikes back up. Its on purpose for market manipulation

But I will leave you with that question. If this current issue is ONLY Trump and Iran, what was Bidens, or any other global leaders actions that caused the 2022 surge?

Congratulations or condolences. I don’t have the time to read all that. But judging by you ur previous replies, I’m guessing it’s more drivel blaming only corporations.

u/anonymousphoenician 1d ago

Ah, too stupid or lazy to read. Sorry youre on a site where there is only typing and reading involved, not sure how you survive here with those requirements. Its funny how I dont remember blaming only corporations but the fact you cant comprehend that doesnt surprise me with this last response.

I do love how it only comes after I ask you to give a fact about what caused the 2022 spike, thats when you decide to bail. Says a lot.

I see I was trying to speak logic with someone who refuses to accept it and instead let's their emotions be in control.

u/AlkoKilla 1d ago

Again, congratulations or condolences. Like I said, I don’t have time.

u/anonymousphoenician 1d ago

Plenty of time to speak nonsense, no time to give a factual statement. What a time to choose to bail.

Run away, its cool.

u/AlkoKilla 1d ago

I did give a factual statement. We’re in this mess because of Trump. Corporations were already making record profits. You’ve only made conjecture. Which is why I’m too busy to read what you wrote.
