so he's to blame but had nothing to do with the uptick.. -.-

His actual policies throttled domestic oil production. I don't see how that's disputable. Given the cirucmstances, oil production in 2023 would be even higher under an oil-friendly administration.

Your argument is similar to someone arguing "tax revenue reached new heights under Trump, so that means his tax cut bill didn't actually harm tax revenue".

bogus dude has a pimple?

his polices throttled yet the US is on path to produce more than ever before?? and wtf tax code has to do with oil production.

do you have an explanation of the recent surge in WTI crude prices?

His policies were detrimental to US production, but since the macro factors (global oil prices and surging demand after the turmoil caused by the Ukraine war) were creating such a strong upward trend, production grew nonetheless - but not by as much as it could or should have.

Sad that you can't comprehend the simple analogy with the Trump tax cut bill and the record tax revenue.

From infrastructure increases and increased production in Gulf of Mexico.
And take your fixed tax rate analogy and try it some where else. this is
Manufacturing/supply-demand driven.
Gain loss from a fixed tax rate has very little in common with the free market and recovery from a pandemic.
