You claim;
“Yep another thing the entire developed world can thank Trump for. Getting us out of the control of the Arab oil billionaires. If it weren't for his policies we would be paying hugely inflated prices for Arab oil. His freeing up of the US for drilling has put a lid on the prices Middle Eastern oil producers can charge.”
What an absolute crock.
Obama oversaw nearly a doubling of US oil production, trump has barely left his mark.

Bloody hell mate, you really don't have to make things up. It is unbecoming, highly detrimental to any standing you have left on this forum, and puts you firmly in Trump's conga line.
As to price protection the average closing price of crude oil world wide in 2016, Obama's last year, was $43.58. At the end of Trump's first year he had managed to oversee it being driven to $50.84. Not content with that he has seen it at a closing average of $64.90.
If you are going to brag about your president perhaps finding a different field could be the go. Alternatively you could stop making things up.
