    The spokesperson said the Trump administration is not involved with the company and is not subsidizing the gas stations, adding that the stations can offer lower prices by reducing their profit margins.

    Yes, because famously gas stations make a ton of money on gas sales… pull someone else’s leg, mine is long enough already.

    “Thanks, Trump, for saving me some money,” said a customer based in Philadelphia, where the state average for a gallon of gasoline is $3.98.

    So which is true? If Trump and/or the government have nothing to do with it, then IDK, maybe thank whoever is choosing to take a loss selling gasoline below market price. If it is Trump and/or the government, then why is this company saying that it isn’t being subsidized?

      They’ll sell at a loss to get the President to advertise for them on TV

      In a week they’ll be the same price, in a month they’ll be higher due to idiot tax.

      They want people to make their gas station their personality, and trumpets are dumb enough to do it.
