    EIA is a government source. Your article is dated June 2018 and discusses what Trump supposedly said. The Zero Hedge article uses the EIA data to show that the US became energy independent in October 2018.

    I'm really only arguing some of Donald Trump's boastful claims.

    In its 2012 World Energy Outlook, the International Energy Agency said the U.S. would become the top crude oil producer by 2020, largely because of technological advances that have made hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, a popular method to extract natural gas and oil from tight spaces.

    We were already on target for being Energy Independent.

    Again, Donald Trump walked into a pretty nice economy already on the upswing, and we were almost energy independent when he got the job.

    Now if you want to fully credit Donald Trump for everything including the sun coming up in the morning- fine!

    But Donald Trump is making claims that just aren't true about everything under the sun.

    And I'm stating facts.

    This is why you libs will never understand our support of Trump. You get your heads filled with crap from MSNBC and CNN all day long and they tell you that Trump said this, Trump said that, never in context and never with a proper retort from an opposing view.

    The first thing I said when Trump rode the escalator was that this guy was a bully and a blowhard. My opinion of him has not changed. But he does what he says he's going to do and gets results. The fact that he upsets those with delicate sensibilities has no real bearing (but it is fun to watch liberal heads explode).

    They show clips. Trump has not figured out that what he says is captured on video.

    "How do you like the roaring economy?" His response: "Trump inherited it from Obama."

    "How do you like the roaring stock market?" "It was great when Obama was president."

    "Sam, you're 70 years old. For the first time in your life, the US is energy dependent. How do you like that?"

    Turned his head half way through my first sentence. SILENCE.
    TDS used to be a real thing. Now it's used for anyone who criticizes Trump.

    No it describes someone who hates Trump irrationally.

    Yes, which is why I said it used to be a thing. The term mattered because it was used for people who hate Trump irrationally. But now it's used anytime someone criticizes Trump, so it's become meaningless.
    Same thing with the term "snowflake." That word is just cringe now.

    You mean that's how you define the term.

    No, that's how it's being used now. Communities define words and terms.

    I don't hate Trump. See what I mean? Anyone who disagrees with Trump is now called a hater with TDS.
