The retailers? Wouldn’t that be the gas stations? Is he targeting the small business / franchisee while giving the oil companies a free pass?
First rule of being a bully is always prey on the weak, not the strong.
The big oil companies already laughed in his face and told him ‘shut your stupid mouth or we’ll use our lobbyists to get you impeached’.
The gas stations make no money on gas. Gas just brings in customers for the delicious hotdogs.
I’m confused why he cares about california, sounds like them threatening to not pay taxes could fuck his whole presidency
Gas prices cut. BOOM! Government subsidies given to oil companies to offset their loss. BOOM! End users pays for it all yet again.
and theres no money to pay for it, so it will, of course, be paid via another massive, crippling blow to our already exploding debt.
because debt doesnt matter under republicans.
and debt doesnt matter to trump because he’ll die before facing any of the consequences.
Sounds like communism to me.
What a fucking clown
Gauging, is that how they say gouging in Yankee land, or is that a typo?
Neither. It’s a retarded president.
Calling him retarded seems offensive to the differently able.
He’s got soup brain.
I love vague threats like “big problems” or “consequences”
He’s buying in again before the price spikes. Lebanon still dooms any Iran deal.
So, they go out of business, monopolies buy them up, operated by price scalpers? Great plan… For evil Nazi scumbags
He didn’t give a shit a little while ago, but I guess his handlers realize that’s not winning any votes and with the elections coming up…
But don’t worry, he’ll stop caring the second he wins again.
Oil may be $68 a barrel right now, but the gas they are currently selling wasn’t made from it.
But you’d have to not be a moron to understand that.
EDIT: Found the morons.
Sure sure what a bullshit excuse. Why do prices rise instantly then. I have heard oh they Ned to charge the replacement cost. So which is it?

I just drove across seven states in the US and the lowest gas prices were in the red states. I don’t know why that was unless there is some sort of state subsidy to keep Trump from looking stupid.
Indiana suspended gas tax from April until July 7th. It will likely keep getting extended as long as Trump wants it. We’re sub $3 in areas of the state.
We also cut school budgets so my kid won’t have a full time PE, art, or music teacher next year. I’m sure it’s unrelated.
Good to know, thanks
I know at least one state has suspended the gas tax, which is a state subsidy in practice.
And I’m over here wondering why its still so cheap.
The fine art of the deal. The subtle maneuvering behind the scenes, the long term strategic thinking, the focus on the good of the country, the deft handling of challenges along the way. See the master do his work.
