OK, and that's an argument that can be made. It's just that what you stated initially wasn't that at all. But it's also a silly argument to take 2 extremes influenced by events out of either president's control and use them as endpoints to say Biden is worse for gas prices. I understand people view the world in utter simplicity like that and ignore all facts, logic and reason, and that these people will vote for Donald Trump because of it. Repeating stuff like that doesn't help. Pointing out the flawed reasoning has value for the few people left on earth concerned with those sorts of details.
