Im going to take that as yeah the YTD oil is way up.


While the nominal price of $100 was first achieved in 2008, the inflation-adjusted price of oil had previously exceeded this threshold in the early 1980s. Specifically, oil prices spiked to $107.27 in 1980 following the Iranian revolution, and an inflation-adjusted high of approximately $102.81 (in today’s dollars) was reached in April 1980.

The nominal peak price of gold in January 1980 was $850 per ounce, which is equivalent to approximately $3,300 to $3,641 in 2026 dollars, depending on the specific inflation calculation method used.

Do you math much?

Yet POTUS Trump, out of every POTUS since 2008, has had, by far, the fewest days of oil

Yet like all of them, managed to frick up inheriting $50 oil. For someone so great at their job, I'm puzzled why Brandon and Obama are what we like to measure up against.

Your continued avoidance is more confirmation that 1 year ago oil was much lower

I’m not sure people really care all that much about oil prices. They’re only concerned about what’s they’re paying at the pump. And since there really seems to be zero correlation between the two, save me the arguments

I year ago POTUS Trump was POTUS. In late January 2025, POTUS Trump admitted it would take at least 18 months to solve these problems and there would be pain during that time.

Where ever you are going with this is something I am not too concerned about. Good times are certainly ahead and

It Will Be Glorious!!

The premise of the thread was oil prices were not a big deal and should not impact people’s views of Trump because they are “going down”


Even stated and I quote

quote:

Onto the next fake outrage hoax losers!







So I ask. What were prices 1 year ago?


People’s lives are impacted by prices at the pump and oil.



Seems a pretty important thing going into midterms and not a “hoax”

I agree and I will state there are a few firms globally that manage prices of fuel. Those guys do not like POTUS Trump at all. When this is over, those guys will be looking for jobs.

Because it was in 2008 that oil prices first went over $100 per barrel. It was the last year of Bush and shiot was hitting the fan.

The reason I ever like to use those two clowns is because so many here, you included, feel so good about them.

Higher prices at the pump sucks but all the outrage was bogus as it literally changed no lives. People still filled their expensive vehicles maxed out at 84 month loans and still drove the same distance. They will still stay their asses home complaining on the internet though in protest of orange man bad.

I've not heard you complaining about those higher egg prices, though.


Because some BS happened while Biden what President and it ended shortly after Trump took office. Wasn't necessarily Biden's fault. Trump didn't really do anything there either.

True believer. Nothing wrong with your conviction but it is hammering everyone else.

Ever work at a large trucking company? I have.

The larger carriers have many terminals and purchase in bulk.

Yes, their trucks still fill up at Love's, Pilots, etc.

The point was, even $1000 added to 23 tons of goods shipped long haul, doesn't impact the retail price as much as you would think.

Trump’s going to make everything right. He’s already lowered safety standards and required mpg standards for the U.S. auto industry. Regulations to protect the public interest is bad and supporting the industrialist is good. Oil prices are good and low mileage cars and trucks are great. This is the typical Trump rationale. Hurt sucker hurt and shut up
Until Trump is out of office.

It only went up the last few months, dipshit. And now it's going back down. It was a few months of turmoil when this administration warned us was coming in order to take care of Iran. Keep crying though.
