I guess you were asleep when America became a ZERO importer of OIL during the Trump years.

The IRAN deal was a joke. we sent billions to IRAN and got nothing in return. The deal was so bad, Obama implemented it without Senate ratification because Democratic senators didn't want to vote on it. Bob Menendez, Democratic senator from NJ, was a vocal critic. As the NY Times article outlined 23 Democratic lawmakers opposed the Obama Iran deal

Iran is on the verge on a nuclear weapon. So much for the deal. The Trump approach trade sanctions and isolation.

As for gun rights, it just stupid to call it extreme. You can disagree until the sun burns out, but to call what a majority of Americans support including a majority of Democratic congressman and senators is silly. BTW if this was true why didn't Congress during Biden's first two years, when they had total control, pass expansive gun reform? Why? Because their constituents didn't want it.

This is false. It is true that our oil exports went up, primarily because of Obama's support for fracking.

But, it is NOT true that we imported zero oil. For a fairly short time we imported less than we exported. But, we would never stop importing oil.
