I wouldn't put it past him LOL. Instead of treating it like an
emergency insurance policy in case the US Gov needs oil in an
emergency, he uses it for personal political reasons

Once politicians experienced the pandemic and got used to the
idea that "emergencies" turned the constitution into toilet paper,
everything became an emergency. Many, if not most countries
that fall into authoritarian rule typically start with the
imposition of "emergency powers" by a well meaning political
leader. In Bidens case, he was reticent at first but his base
openly pushed him to declare emergencies early and often in order
to exercise the power that came with the declarations. Now
it's just part of our system.
Even student loan forgiveness was attempted under the guise
of "emergency powers"
