He took no leadership role in creating a coherent national plan to address the situation.
And neither has Biden.
Congrats on looking more red hatty every day. It's been fun to watch.
It still boils down to simple supply and demand. The Keystone XL was only about 8% constructed, and most of that oil was going to be exported anyway. Has little effect on current prices. The pandemic is to blame for high gas prices and high lumber prices. Which is why even if Trump won the election, they would be the same as they are today.Keystone. Supporting the lockdowns. Talking about raising corporate taxes. Push on the green restrictions.
He may not directly control the knob for the prices, but pretending like his actions dont directly, in some cases, affect the prices consumers see is hogwash. It's why you have seen many posters speak out about something being a bad idea before it goes into effect.
Southern boarder?These things would be the exact same if Trump was still in office.
I was bringing the topic back around to Biden, where it started before you sidetracked us with some anti trump posts. Actually you and @hog88At the initial stages of the pandemic we needed some leadership. He provided no guidance. He touted unproven remedies. He tweeted to the nation not to worry that it would all be over by summer. He mocked science. He gave ridiculous press conferences. This was Trump's biggest failure.
I did not offer my critique of Biden and I am not sure how it is relevant to my critique of how Trump mishandled the beginning stages of the pandemic.
Nationally he restricted travel into America, got a vaccine produced in under a year, arranged military healthcare areas to support and assist with demand, and presented a unified message of flattening the curve.I don't see how anyone could have come up with a national plan since all the way to the city level the circumstances varied from state to state. Not to mention it is the state governments job to handle internal issues.
Meh.Nationally he restricted travel into America, got a vaccine produced in under a year, arranged military healthcare areas to support and assist with demand, and presented a unified message of flattening the curve.
Other than those things, I didn't see much leadership from DC. I agree the states should be left alone to handle the unique circumstances for their people rather than have a one size fits all policy. I applaud Trump for his hands off approach.
Futures play a huge role in even current prices. It's why we saw prices dip when oil traders couldnt find a place to store ny more of it a while back. I know food also works under future pricing, I would imagine lumber does similarly.It still boils down to simple supply and demand.

Just as we needed leadership and didnt get it at the start under Trumo, we still need leadership and arent getting it under Biden.
Here's the truth: Liberals see how close the electoral college is and are pushing to add electors to the union with DC statehood. Republicans are countering with gerrymandering districts in purple states where they control redistricting. People like us go to work, pay taxes, raise families, support businesses, and expect the bare minimum from our government; we will continue to be ignored.I’d settle for the truth, whatever that may be.
Travel? Sort ofNationally he restricted travel into America, got a vaccine produced in under a year, arranged military healthcare areas to support and assist with demand, and presented a unified message of flattening the curve.
