Trump brags gas is down to $1.98 a gallon in some states. It isn’t — anywhere
He's lost his freaking mind. 25A needs to happen now.

Hes just lying. Just like he lied that egg prices are down 87%.

this is how it goes. this is how it always goes.
He was JOKING Obviously! It's a GOOD Thing SLEEPY JOE isn't in Office anymore! HE would say the SAME THING but WITHOUT Joking!
A coworker said all of this unironically to me today. Broke my heart.
I hope your soul is ok after leaning this vibe so accurately. 🙏
They say this commentor is still stained orange to this very day
Who gives a fuck what he thinks prices are when he's trying to dismantle this country from the ground up.
$2.09 is roughly the price/gallon on the commodities market. https://www.reuters.com/markets/quote/RBc1/
transportation costs, additives, markup at every link in the distribution chain including retail, and taxes from multiple jurisdictions, all need to be added to that.
So gas still costs nothing over there.
I pay more than twice that at the pump. A 50mpg used car is the cheapest way for me to get around since I don’t have access to a car plug where I rent :(
Someone at my office was so happy gas prices were falling. They had just raised gas prices by thirty cents in my area. 🤦
looks at Vance 25th Amendment. Anytime you're ready.
Yes I'd be cool with you taking the reins, that's how dire the situation.
Flip flop 47 will lie even when the truth would help him more.
His cult will believe this because he said it. Without evidence, without ever seeing it. Everyone is saying it.
I don't think I'll ever see gas down to $1 ever again for the rest of my life. E-bikes (and well designed Euro cities) here I come!
I'm driving across the country. It's about 2.70-3.50 in the Midwest. I'd say average is about 3.10ish.
And I'm not saying the Midwest is necessarily going to have the cheapest gas, but the cheapest gas isn't half the lowest you'll pay in iowa.
I'll bet he can't pump his own gas
He struggled to open a car door
**After $2 off a gallon with points.
Gotta sign up for that gold trump card for that deal.
I was trying to find this mystical land of sub $2 gas
The notion that such a thing would be a positive is rather indicative of how far off we as a species are from getting out shit together.
Not supporting the orange moron by any means, but this article is incredibly badly written. He claims gas is down to $1.98, but the best the article can do is "drivers are UNLIKELY to find gas [at that price]" - capitalisation mine.
Unlikely and unable are different things. If drivers are unlikely (and not unable), then that means some of them can, which means gas IS available at $1.98, therefore Fart is correct.
Now if gas really isn't $1.8 anywhere then the article can drop all the guff about averages and unlikeliness and simply state outright: no garages anywhere are selling gas at $1.98.
Delusional
To be far, 1.98$ isn't that much lower than 2.70$,
That's almost 30% lower my dude. Which is quite a lot.
