More of your pathological insults.
And what is your stupid obsession with the word "conflict"? The "conflict" in 2022 (and still) is Russia invading Ukraine.
And for that matter, what is your 15-year weird obsession with ME ?

The average price for gas was higher during Biden's 4 years than it has been under Trump.

It is A FACT that gas nationwide reached its highest peak in recent years in June 2022 under Joe Biden. It is A FACT that the previous peak was under George W. Bush's presidency around 2005-2006, if I recall because hurricane Katrina knocked out gas refining facilities in the Gulf for several months, and also mid east wars on Israel, and Israel's retaliation.

Both Obama and Biden presidencies each DELIBERATELY spiked the price of gas, to in their own words (Obama: ) "necessarily skyrocket energy prices" and (Biden: ) "Declare war on fossil fuel" in a scheme to deliberately make gas unaffordable and force people to abandon gas powered vehicles, deliberately pricing gas too high, to force them to either switch to electric vehicles, or be forced to use public transportation.
And likewise, to force energy infrastructure to switch to wind and solar. Exactly what is making energy prices skyrocket in California, and in Germany, Poland and other nations of Europe. Angela Merkel had Germany go "green", and close their nuclear power plants and become dependent on Russian oil and natural gas for their energy. Then Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022. When European nations aided Ukraine, Russia retaliated by cutting off their oil and gas supply, and because Germany no longer has nuclear plants they can bring back online, energy prices in Germany doubled.
EXACTLY what Trump warned the German government (in his U.N. speech) would happen.

Diesel fuel is higher now because of war between Russia and Ukraine, where in the last 2 months both have focused drone strikes on the other's oil refining factories, causing a spike in the global price of oil, and especially, of diesel.

Two weeks ago, it was reported that Ukraine had knocked 43% of Russia's gas refining facilities offline.
43 percent !
And more massive strikes since then.
In the last few days, Trump negotiated an "energy cease-fire" between Russia and Ukraine, to end the drone strikes that are intolerably rising the cost of oil and gas worldwide, even way higher in European countries than it is here in the U.S.
And then as soon as Russia and Ukraine agreed to it, Russia immediately broke it and launched another massive strike on Ukrainian oil facilities.

And you go with the fake narrative that Trump attacking Iran was "a war of choice". No, it wasn't.

Because if Iran were permitted to have nuclear weapons, to either actually use them, or to blackmail its OPEC neighbors and the West with those weapons, gas would PERMANENTLY go a lot higher than $4.20 or 5 dollars a gallon.
This is why no one takes you seriously.
Because you are so obsessed with insulting me and irrationally raging on Trump, you selectively ignore FACTS of what happens if Iran gets nukes. Just so you can rage on and make a fake narrative that Trump is doing the wrong thing, when in fact he is selflessly doing the right thing regardless of political considerations, not just for the U.S., but for the entire world.
