Trump Posts Chart Comparing Days of $100+ Oil Under Recent US Presidents

US President Donald Trump posted a chart on social media showing the number of days oil traded above $100 per barrel during the tenures of the last four presidents. The image lists 308 days under Barack Obama and 83 under Joe Biden, against zero during Trump’s first term and 24 so far in his current term.

The framing is the story here: an oil-price scoreboard recast as a political record, using a threshold that flatters the current term while the chart itself concedes 24 days have already accumulated. It matters less as energy data than as a signal that crude costs are being pulled into partisan messaging, which tends to shape how supply and sanctions policy get debated. Whether the $100 threshold remains a talking point or fades as a statistical curiosity is the open question.
