The only things i believe Trump did wrong was tweeting stupid shit and hiring Fauci.
So any presidents decisions have no consequenses you contend. So why the hate toward Trumps policies?
Where did I state a President's decisions have no consequences? Presidential decisions can certainly have consequences, but it depends upon what the decision was and what it was in regards to.
I stated a President has little to no influence on the petroleum markets. Especially so in the short term. The industry has even stated as such.
"...they have very little control over it. Yes, policies and legislation can certainly play a role, but gas prices are largely dictated by oil prices and oil prices are dependent upon supply and demand. Presidential control is not as simple as what those posts suggest on social media."
Does the President Control Gas Prices?
Truth be told, U.S. presidents have very little control over the price per gallon.

People Want Joe Biden to Lower Gas Prices. It's Not That Simple
The president is facing growing pressure to act after the national average price of gasoline rose by 62 percent in the past year.

I also noted that the Nord Stream 2 pipeline was predominantly constructed during Trump's term. It was finished last year during Biden's. A President could certainly enact sanctions against a country or entity in an attempt to influence an action, but a President can't force said country or entity to oblige. Russia obviously told Trump to go pound sand after he signed the 2019 sanctions, and kept on working on the pipeline.
I bet you would vote for biden again!!!! That's enough said right there...
Who are the alternatives? Biden wasn't my preferred candidate. Your apparent zeal for Trump certainly says a lot.
