As a car enthusiast, anyone that liked what this guy had to offer needs mental help. And his policies were why the gas prices went up. Lol the green new deal sham. -

I've viewed comments on the web and people say the president has no effect on gas prices. When they were high under Biden they said it wasn't his fault and now that they're low, they say Trump has nothing to do with prices. It doesn't take a high IQ to realize that's a bunch of BS. Whether you're Democrat or Republican, Government policies absolutely affect gas prices. When the oil companies hear that the government is stupidly going to end fossil fuels, the energy companies react negatively, and when they hear regulations are eased, they react positively. Not real complicated. When the gov says they're going green and push EVs and tell the auto companies they have to get 50.4 mpg by 2031 which there's no way they'd get there, they had no choice but to invest in EVs. EVs were less than 10% of sales vs 90% fossil, but he wanted to flip it to 90% EV??? The Green loyalists hate fossil fuels and would rather have high prices to protect an animal and cause people to suffer. Fossil fuels have made a better life for all of us. Now I'm all for protecting the environment, but there needs to be a balance.
