Are you implying that along with fuel the president also controls the price of trucks? What about Milk, he control that too?

Control? No. Influence pricing due to policy, legislation, and regulation? Yes.

You can have the EPA make up new environmental laws that force refineries to shutdown or close the economy due to aggressive covid policies causing many energy companies to lose profit for a few years meaning they had to shut down at least five refineries in the past two years. You can force states to go renewable energy like wind mills that are more susceptible to harder climates, then when you have a freak cold snap for two week, then refineries that are making the additives for oil and fuel are forced to shut down due to no power.

There are many more things that a president, governor, or legislator can do and have done that effect costs.

So a few marginal players went bankrupt during the extreme drop in fuel demand during the pandemic and during the previous administration..... now the economy comes back and it is the fault of the current administration?

This is just part of our economic system more than the administrations.
JMHO.

Same in other areas. We were unknowingly living in a bit of a bubble that has now burst.

Either way the terrible fail Ford Lightning is sold out for at least three years.
