The OP is a classic example of correlation being interpreted as causation.

Oh, and number 11 is a$$hole.

You know, politicians for 35 years have been promising energy independence. Now it is happening under the Trump administration, and OPEC says, “Please don’t pump so much oil! We’re dying over here!”

And he’s still pursuing his agenda, such as OPEC begging us to stop producing oil and unemployment numbers at a 28-year low. Angela Merkel! “Germany intends to increase its defense spending in coming years to meet NATO’s target of 2% of GDP, Angela Merkel announced yesterday.

Why are all these people reacting like Trump’s gonna president for a while and don’t want to end up on his bad side, hmm? Can you say 2800 more days??

Where are all the mass shootings... where's BLM....Cop killings? nope... down substantially.
Trump didn't change the US Oil Market.

Here is an article from Jan 2016; a full year before Trump took office.

After 40-year ban, U.S. starts exporting crude oil - Jan. 29, 2016

"with booming U.S. oil production from the shale revolution creating an epic supply glut that recently sent oil prices below $30 a barrel."

Sorry to burst your bubble, but America is like a big cruise ship. It takes a long time to speed up and a long time to slow down and a long time to turn.

It is impossible for Trump to have done all you credit him for doing. He hasn't been in office long enough to have that kind of effect.

But he has been in office long enough to disgrace the Office of President of the United States. Once he accomplished that, I jumped off the bandwagon.

Seems there is a convenient excuse for everything

Apprehensions have been declining for some time now, but as of Jan 20, its because crossings are down. Before that it was because BP had been ordered to stand down.

WaIt a second....

President Trump, a month ago, just lifted the OBAMA RESTRICTIONS on the production of $50 trillion dollars worth of job-producing American energy reserves, including shale, oil, natural gas and clean coal.

They just ran a local story here in this sanctuary city(Austin), that illegals are going and dropping their kids citizenship and getting them citizens of Mexico, in case they get deported or because many are self deporting, taking their stuff and kids with them.

There it is. The Russian excuse. It didn't take long for someone to do it. Can anyone name 1 Russian that colluded with the Trump Campaign. Just 1? Nope.

Funny how the media and libs still have hope that Hillary is magically going to become president this summer.

Nope. 2800+ more days of Trump. A lot of losing for the democrats.
