US Elections Trump may not be as bad as he appears

I'm also in favour of similar measures in countries with bloated civil service like Belgium, France and Italy.

Don't forget to mention awful political corruption and ideological madness when talking about French bureaucracy. I don't know the state of things in Belgium or Italy, but I'm in France, right now, and I do have a hard time believing what I am seeing happening around the country. That's kind of scary!

Another reason why Trump made not be necessarily worse than Biden about climate change and fossil fuels is that Biden is a hypocrite. The Democrats claim to be more climate conscious but in reality President Biden issued more drilling permits than Trump did in his first term. It is also under the Biden presidency that the US became the world's largest oil producer. This is explained in this video.

Then, as I said above, if petrol extraction and refining is more environmentally friendly in the US than in the Middle East due to stricter regulations, as long as the global demand for petrol is relatively stable, or at least does not increase because of excess production, I would much prefer to see the world consume "cleaner" American (or European) petrol.
