Some economic indicators can be strong - number of jobs created, unemployment rate and wage growth, for example, and others can be not (eg inflation). I'd be the first to say that inflation hurts.
The issue is what a president can affect. And short term gas prices just aren't one of those things... as much as some would like to blame the president.

Well thats ur opinion. Maybe you weren't one of those the sky is falling and its because of "mean tweets" types. But from reading ur other posts I find that hard to believe. So it stands to reason if 1 President can affect every single outcome, for not only his elected country but the world ,if I were to believe all of the sources you copy and paste. Then surely the current guy can affect just as much?? As I said screw politics but lets shoot straight and call it both ways here. The problems we are facing were caused by our elected officials, thats the name of the game, if its good you got it if its bad its 2022 lol. Naw sry man, its just everyone is always moving the goal post and it just gets hard to stomach. I'm really worried for my kids and its not because of policy, its because of what I've saw people convince themselves of the last 7 yrs. I think the whole thing is smoke and mirrors, just enuff to keep us from seeing the real problem... I mean they swear to uphold something and then continue to undermine or just flat out ignore it... Most of us would be fired if we turned in performance sheets that look like this
Hello; NO thanks. I do that and likely will be burned for political content. Try this. Go to a search engine. I used Google. do a search for video of him making comments about fossil fuels. That got a result of a few videos and several articles. Probably can find the same stuff on a search of Fox or Newsmax.
Thing is literally millions of viewers have seen these videos rebroadcast over and over the last months to years. Some from 2019. Some from more recent. It is not a secret.
The mass hypnosis has been amazing.
It’s like Alice in Wonderland. People can’t see the world right before them.
There will be a rude awakening.

To the point that inflation (in oil prices and other things) is a GLOBAL and not just a US domestic issue, the UK reported its highest inflation in 40 years as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and Brexit: https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/uk-inflation-hits-40-year-record-highest-in-g7/ar-AAYJ25T
One - temporary - thing that the US government can actually do to lower gas prices is to suspend the federal gas tax. That's precisely what the President is likely proposed to do. But he can't do it alone - he'll need Congress to approve it. And there is speculation that the political opposition will block this action for the purpose of not losing their best talking point: https://www.cnbc.com/2022/06/21/wha...oliday-could-mean-for-prices-at-the-pump.html
Do you support the President's proposed action to reduce gas prices by about 18 cents per gallon?

Here are the sections of the speech from Jan 2021 that many have (falsely) seized upon that the President is "outlawing oil."

And when the previous administration reversed the Obama-Biden vehicle standard and picked Big Oil companies over American workers, the Biden-Harris administration will not only bring those standards back, we’ll set new, ambitious ones that our workers are ready to meet.
We see these workers building new buildings, installing 500,000 new electric vehicle charging stations across the country as we modernize our highway systems to adapt to the changes that have already taken place. We see American consumers switching to electric vehicles through rebates and incentives, and the residents of our cities and towns breathing cleaner air, and fewer kids living with asthma and dying from it.
And not only that, the federal government owns and maintains an enormous fleet of vehicles, as you all know. With today’s executive order, combined with the Buy American executive order I signed on Monday, we’re going to harness the purchasing power of the federal government to buy clean, zero-emission vehicles that are made and sourced by union workers right here in America.
With everything I just mentioned, this will mean one million new jobs in the American automobile industry. One million. And we’ll do another thing: We’ll take steps towards my goal of achieving 100 percent carbon-pollution-free electric sector by 2035. Transforming the American electric sector to produce power without carbon pollution will be a tremendous spur to job creation and economic competitiveness in the 21st century, not to mention the benefits to our health and to our environment.

Unlike previous administrations, I don’t think the federal government should give handouts to big oil to the tune of $40 billion in fossil fuel subsidies. And I’m going to be going to the Congress asking them to eliminate those subsidies.
We’re going to take money and invest it in clean energy jobs in America — millions of jobs in wind, solar, and carbon capture. In fact, today’s actions are going to help us increase renewable energy production from offshore wind and meet our obligation to be good stewards of our public lands.
