It appears that whoever the president was in 2022, 2023 was GOATIER. Does anyone remember who that was?



"No, the statement is not fully true. Trump's claim (as shared by Breaking911) that 19 million barrels transited the Strait of Hormuz in one day is an "all-time record" is inaccurate or misleading.


Key Facts on Oil Flows Through the Strait of Hormuz
  • Pre-crisis averages (before the 2026 Iran-related disruptions) were typically ~20–21 million barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil, condensate, and petroleum products.


  • EIA data: 20.9 million bpd average in the first half of 2025; 20.7 million in 2024; peaks around 21.8–21.9 million bpd in 2022–2023.

  • Independent verification of the exact daily figure for "yesterday" isn't available in real-time public data (EIA/IEA provide averages and estimates based on tanker tracking, not instant daily totals). Trump’s number has been described as unverified in multiple reports.

I wished you a happy cat Father’s Day and this is how you treat me? Illl tell you what….
Let’s average out fuel prices for Trump and Bidens first 2 years in office and see who’s was lower. Are you good with that for a month ban bet?

Why would I do that when I already know what they are? But since you don't remember and you think gas under Biden had something to do with his policies, I will remind you that prices spiked globally due to the economic recovery from the pandemic, supply constraints, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

Trump has only himself to blame for the prices we see now.

But none of this has anything to do with your unverified twa.tter tw.at about "an all time RECORD!" 😅

LOL, that flow of oil, if it has not already stopped again, will stop soon. Trump has got to stop Netanyahoo from bombing Lebanon if he wants a hope of concluding any kind of deal with Iran. And he has got to persuade Iran to accept IAEA inspections even though no news reports indicate that was an explicit term of the peace settlement with Iran. It certainly was not an express provision of the MOU.

Which Reddit thread did you copy/paste this from, Butter?

What was it, 19 million barrels Cheeto was bragging about? I'll concede that it is something, but let's get real. It is less than a normal day's quantity. It will take months of uninterrupted shipping for the crude oil markets to resume anything approaching their status prior to Trump launching this war. Prices are likely to be pretty high this summer.

So Trump didn't get the Saudi's to cut production before he left office?

I thought the whole Iran thing wasn't about oil? You know, just like Venezuela?

The U.S. is executing a 172-million-barrel exchange from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) to stabilize energy markets. Administered via the Department of Energy SPR, this drawdown drops inventory to its lowest point since 1983 as part of a global 400-million-barrel IEA release responding to supply disruptions in the Middle East. [1, 2, 3]

Current SPR Status & Mechanics
  • Inventory Level: The reserve holds roughly 331.2 million barrels, down from its peak of over 726 million. [1]
  • Mechanism: The oil is primarily distributed via Exchanges (loans) to refiners. Borrowers must return the original volume plus an additional premium quantity of oil back to the salt caverns at a later date. [1, 2]
  • Storage Sites: Crude is kept in underground salt caverns across four primary Gulf Coast locations: Bryan Mound and Big Hill in Texas, and West Hackberry and Bayou Choctaw in Louisiana. [1]

Recent Release History
  • 172M Barrel Drawdown (2026): Initiated in March 2026 to counter surging gasoline prices following energy chokepoint disruptions. The Energy Department Open Procurements & Reports tracks the ongoing distribution and Requests for Proposals (RFPs).
