Just like closing the southern border, all that was needed to release oil production was a REAL President. Gas prices are falling again across the country, and according to Rep. Michael Cloud in a new Fox News op-ed, it’s not a coincidence—it’s the direct result of the 47th President Donald Trump’s energy-first policies. As President Trump reverses course on the Biden administration’s war on fossil fuels, Americans are beginning to feel relief at the pump. “We used to have a president who was at war with American energy. Now, we once again have one who is unleashing it,” Cloud wrote. - In his Fox News op-ed published Monday, Rep. Michael Cloud made a pointed case that the sharp decline in gas prices is no stroke of luck, but a direct consequence of policy change. “Gas prices are down significantly and that's because America no longer has a president who is at war with energy companies,” Cloud said. He argued that President Biden’s four-year assault on traditional energy left families bearing the burden of inflated fuel costs and a stagnating economy. - Cloud detailed the Biden administration’s record of energy suppression: canceling the Keystone XL pipeline, halting drilling permits, and stifling oil and gas development on federal lands. These decisions, he said, were never about climate, but about appeasing the far-left. “Your family’s budget was experimented on with the force of the federal government,” he wrote, adding that Biden’s climate push relied on “virtue signaling to the far left while working-class families paid the price.” -- By contrast, Trump’s early moves since returning to office reflect a clear prioritization of energy independence. He cut through federal red tape, removed costly regulations, and empowered producers to boost supply. “He declared a National Energy Emergency, cut through the bureaucratic red tape strangling domestic production, and put an end to Biden’s disastrous policies,” Cloud wrote. -- He also took aim at the media and Democrats who once dismissed rising gas prices as uncontrollable. “They said it was ‘Putin’s price hike,’ a ‘global supply issue,’ or anything else to avoid admitting the truth about their policies,” Cloud said. “Now, with Trump back in charge, gas prices are falling, and the same people who claimed the government had no control over them are scrambling to explain why.” -- Cloud closed with a reminder that this shift isn’t temporary. “The recent price drop under President Trump is what happens when America embraces energy independence instead of bowing to climate radicals and foreign competitors,” he wrote. “American energy is back on the market, and its golden age has only just begun.” -- https://mxmnews.com/article/4ed45324-d534-4f65-8147-b7f391f3f8e0?trump-s-energy-policies-drive-down-gas-prices
