KEY POINTS
Donald Trump said Thursday that gasoline prices are “not very high.”
A Quinnipiac University national poll of registered voters showed that 65% of U.S. voters blame Trump either “a lot” or “some” for the rise in gas prices seen since the beginning of the Iran war.
Trump said those prices are not as high as what was expected from the war, which he said was aimed at denying Iran the ability to produce a nuclear weapon.
I seem to recall him claiming that he would get gas under $2/gallon. Where are we at on that?
Gas prices aren’t my primary concern. I’ve hated him for years for better reasons, but gas prices seems to be the only thing that is waking his supporters up.
It’s the only thing a large portion of the population pays attention to or care about.
Gas prices and egg prices.
The thing is, when someone is bad at many different parts of their job, it’s easier to build a coalition of people who each want him removed, for their own reasons.
That didn’t happen.
And if it did, it wasn’t that bad. <----
And if it was, that’s not a big deal.
And if it is, that’s not my fault.
And if it was, I didn’t mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.This reads like poetry.
Not mine, fwiw. It’s circulated as “The Narcissist’s Prayer” online.
It’s a lot less poetic when you had to live through it.
I actually agree with him… They aren’t very high in comparison to how high they are going to be very soon!
Or like, what the rest of the developed world pays for gasoline. We drive half price in the States, $4 is nothing. In Italy where some family live, fuel is (converted) about $2.10 a LITER. The average world price is $1.40 a liter. 3.8 liters to a gallon, the math isn’t hard. We’re complaining about having to pay a little more than half price.
Its the same cost but italy taxes gasoline much higher, in Italy it’s like 7 dollars in taxes a gallon while the US is around 20 cents a gallon. If Italy taxed gas the same as the US it would be 4 bucks also
This man thought a banana cost $10, and didn’t go to a grocery store until after he was president.
There’s always money in the banana stand
He didn’t actually say a banana was $10 did he?
I was confident it was one of his quotes, but I think I may have misunderstood an Arrested Development quote.
But he does things “Health Insurance Costs $12 Per Year”

“they’re not very high…. They’re not very high… they’re not very high”
-Trump supporters trying to convince themselves
Only 65%??? Who the hell do the rest think caused the increase by starting a war of choice?
Probably Obama or something insipid like thay
This fucker is so removed from reality he has no clue what’s expensive and what isn’t. I’d wager he’s never operated a gas pump in his life.
You could give him a $200k salary, a home in some little town, and a car that was all paid for, and he’d starve to death in a year. He is beyond clueless as to what people have to do on a daily basis.
Donald Trump said Thursday that gasoline prices are “not very high.”
So, does that mean he’s going to do things to make it go even higher?
As in “it’s not high yet”?
What is wild is that so many reactionary centrists spent years lecturing the Biden administration and “blue MAGA” 🙄 for trying to explain the full context of the economy under Covid and instead trying to insist that instead of numbers, we should be listening to the vibes, man. Ignore all those market indicators, people feel bad, man, and anyone that says otherwise should be ashamed, etc.
Wonder where all these assholes are now, given that, as opposed to the case for Biden, we can point DIRECTLY at something that PEDOnald has done to drive things that hurt the economy and make everything more expensive.
Gas prices are lower now than they have – been before
Sorry… BIG OL /S
DUH
Is that supposed to be an accomplishment?
