Your logic is flawed, baw .

If i were a poor, id most likely be dumb also, and id be pissed off and blaming “Brandon” for my shitty life .. Instead, i realize that inflation is currently a worldwide problem , and that the US president doesnt have much sway over something that is also affecting roughly 150 other countries on the planet.. How about addressing the fact that this is a global issue, instead of making lazy assumptions about me ? OR, feel free to make any half-assed assumption about me you’d like- but also maybe try to answer the question too ??

Last time I checked the POTUS has a shitload of sway over other countries. Last time I checked the USD is the world's most commonly held reserve currency, including the petro dollar being exchanged and settled in USD. Which makes what Potato did in Day 1 in office with shutting down pipelines by simple stroke of a pen and sending a negative signal to the oil market that much worse. In 2022 he had to raid the SPR to keep gas from going north of $5 gallon (hell in Cali it was getting close to $10 - you selectively forgot about that scare didn't you). Yeah I have a feeling you have no clue what you're talking about. No one being serious would claim the POTUS has no influence or sway over globally traded commodities like oil to just name one.

Gotta give it to you.. You’re wrong, but at least you made a good faith effort to answer the question .

Yes, the American President does have influence over the actions of some other countries… But to say that Biden (whom i am NO fan of, please dont get it twisted) can influence or change the economy of the entire globe, and single handedly reduce inflation with the stroke of a pen , or by other means- is disingenuous , to say the very least .
