Remember when America was strategically hand cuffed to the middle East and their oil? We were constantly embroiled in Middle Eastern problems because of our dependence on their oil.
NO MORE thanks to Trump.
He has stopped the Left's war on oil & gas, and has made America the leading oil & gas producers in the world. This means we no longer need to get involved every time some Arab nation sneezes. If they disrupt their oil production, we now have our own oil security!
Trump has helped create many jobs in our new Oil & Gas industry.
Have you noticed how Trump is trying to get us out of these Arab nations? It's working!
As always, this new extreme Liberal Democrat Party enacts policies based on their environmentalist doomsday base, while caring little about America's security.

If you believe that, then you know absolutely nothing about Obama or the Democrat Party when it comes to their hatred for fossil fuels.
If you want to debate, you must at least show some semblance of honesty. If it were not for the Republicn Party, we would have never become enrgy independent. You must have forgotten how Democrats hated fracking? Or are you saying the Democrats are complete phony liars.

BELIEVE!?!?!?!?!
WHO NEEDS BELIEF WHEN YOU HAVE DATA!
Facts don't care about your feelings.
@MayCaesar hit the nail on the head.
I hate fracking because there was a gas pad across the road from the house I grew up in, which destroyed land my family had been farming for over a century. At the time, we (me and my friends) used to scream "thanks Obama" ever time they lit off one of them, because it sounds like a jet taking off. If you want to ignorantly claim this is all Trump's responsibility, go ahead. Be my guest, but know that you would still be lying out loud.
Lies, habitual, constant, lies and denial. Yet another example of good Christian morality.

It's truly sick how people like you try to twist the truth even after a lifetime of Democrats telling you how much they are against big Oil companies drilling for more oil, fracking, off shore drilling, etc. etc.
I guess according to you, all Democrats are clinical liars.
So if there is nothing you can believe from a Democrat, why would you ever vote for them? When Trump took office, he instantly ended regulations hurting our oil companies abiity to drill for more oil.

You employ countless fallacies in each of your comments, while marking everyone else's comments as fallacy. What makes you think that criticising your interpretation of data implies supporting Democrats? Just because you have failed to do a proper data analysis does not mean a view you strongly disagree with suddenly becomes true.
How about responding to people's actual arguments, instead of your childish division of everyone into two major groups and bashing those who happen to be in a different group from you?

"Look in the mirror" in response to criticism is another fallacy, described in a nice post by @ZeusAres42 nearby, called "tu quoque". You cannot even respond to a comment calling you out on your fallacies without a fallacy. Nice!

Read your first sentence once more, and then ask another ridicuous question. Trump and the GOP are of course the main reason we have become energy independent.

Just a precision, something of a pet peeve of mine in that whole climate change debate, I absolutely agree that Oil Companies deserve to be harshly reined in and pay the complete cost for doing that type of business... But please don't use the "Save the planet" slogan, it's ridiculous in so many ways... The planet doesn't need saving, it's perfectly fine...
The people are f*cked, but the planet will still be there after we're long gone, it has seen a lot worse... Save our habitat sure, but the planet? Come on...

They are not "of course the main reason"; that needs to be properly demonstrated, and, as you have seen from the comments, there are other major reasons behind the import-to-export ratio drop, and this drop has been going on since 2008, 9 years before Trump assumed the position at the office.
This is a debate website, not a kindergarten club, and here you are expected to do, at least, some resemblance of proper data analysis before making big causation claims.

The sad fact of debating people on the Left, is that they refuse to even admit the obvious, no matter how many years of facts proving it.
Here you are trying to deny Trump and Republicans are responsible for energy independence, and at the same time telling us how fossil fuels are evil and should be seriously curtailed.
How about once in your life admitting the benifits of the Right's support of fossil fuels, with energy independence, even though you believe there will be harm environmental harm in the future.
You are fake news! You can never give credit to something accomplished by Trump or Conservatives, because you know how hard your side fought tooth and nail to stop it. You still try to take credit for it! UNBELIEVABLE!
An honest person would admit the benifits of Trump's accomplishment, no more being dependent on Middle easter nations for oil, etc., and then explain why you would have still rather followed the dictates of dooms day environmentalists.
Nah, you must refute all of Trump's accomplishments no matter how great things are going.

The fact stands, that the decline in use of foreign oil started long before Trump took office.
And, you are being quite illogical to assume that because the DNC in general despises oil, that automatically means that they should want foreign dependence. That doesn't make any sense. The two are disconnected.
An honest person would look at the data and see that Obama, not Trump, started the decreased dependence on foreign oil, and Trump just sat down and did nothing, and so can get no responsibility.
In case you were not aware, decreasing dependance on foriegn oil was one of Obama's campaign promises, which he fulfilled.
