"America now has more untapped oil than any other country"

If this is the case, then why does America need to be made great again?

p - "...why does America need to be made great again?" Easy answer: because unproduced oil has zero value and no ability to aid the economy. The same as the millions of ounces of gold known to be in sea water that have no value.

Produced, at what cost?

The OP doesn't know what he or she is talking about. The USA peaked in oil discoveries way back in the 1930s and 40s, so we already know how much oil is left in the USA. And there certainly isn't that much more untapped potential. But there might be just enough untapped oil potential to cause runaway anthropogenic climate change once we use it all up, which isn't good because ACC will severely impact the biosphere of the Earth.
