I Thought Trump Campaigned on Lowering Prices!?!?

Sunday morning up to  $3.69     

...all because of trump's war - which he *PROMISED* American voters in his campaign he WOULDN'T do! - on his word of honor as a republican and the man he says is "the most honest that God ever created" 

Well, that was yesterday....TODAY the war trump started - violating his promise to the American voters on his word of honor as a republican - the nat. avg pump price  has risen again, 

now to $3.71 per gallon

@fubah2

$3.71?  Not today!    Now we are seeing $3.79

The Diddler's economic goon Kevin Hassett on CNBC today: "If the war were to be extended, it wouldn't really disrupt the US economy very much at all. It would hurt consumers, and we'd have to think about what we'd have to do about that, but that's really the last of our concerns right now."

What a dope!

Diesel fuel now over $5.00 per gallon - the highest since 2022!

Not only do owners of cars and pickups which use diesel have to pay more at the pump, as well as delivery trucks and trains, but their costs will increase the costs of the consumer products they move!

March 18: $3.84 per gallon

Dumbass VP Vance - who once referred to trump as "America's Hitler" - acknowledges "rough road ahead"
on gas prices 

uhh   ya        but that was yesterday  

$3.88 today my friends, with no end in sight to the increases, which were caused by trump's war.

Deisel and aviation fuels are unbelievable! 

C.Allen -

The price of regular-grade gasoline averaged $3.91 across the U.S. on Friday,

nearly $1 higher than when Trump celebrated low gas prices in his State of the Union speech on Feb. 24, and it’s unclear when they might settle as the [which trump & republicans started] damages energy infrastructure in the region.

Well the consumer taking the upper cut to the face does not matter because Trump the most intelligent president ever says we are MAKING SO MUCH MONEY with high oil. The SPX index does not seem to be making progress, been in the crapper since this stupid Israel war started.

I wish I was paying $3.91 for fuel....$6.09 where I'm at

Overnight into the wee hours of Saturday morning that has inched upward again to

$3.92 per gallon

International energy agency warns that Iran war is the largest supply disruption in the history of global oil market.  Even if war ends today, restoring oil from Middle east might take 6 months.  World simply cannot produce its way out of a energy crisis.  It must adapt by reducing oil demand.  Higher prices increase risk of stagflation.

Because of trump's war . . . 

High gas prices immediately add significant cost to American households.

Every extra dollar gas prices rise translates to $122 billion in additional annual spending at the pump in the United States, according to Mark Finley, a nonresident fellow in energy and global oil at Rice University’s Baker Institute and a former senior economist at BP.

That’s about $1,000 per household per year! 

“It’s the only price that screams at you from every street corner,” Finley said. “The price of gasoline matters in many different ways — most importantly for consumers’ pocketbooks.”

Monday, March 30:

             $3.99

The rising cost of fertilizers is far worse for your economy than the surge in oil and energy prices. If you view America as a single combined business, higher oil prices mostly redistribute wealth within the country, whereas fertilizers are essential for food production and are OFTEN something you need to import in big quantities—also from countries that use Iranian waterways for transportation.

So unless you guys plan is to feed your kids oil for dinner - you should be more concerned about that 

  HEADLINES Tuesday, March 31 . . .

trump gas prices now  $4.01  

  Diesel has risen to $5.45  

Contrary to Trump's claim, Goldman Sachs warns oil prices are likely to remain high for months if Iran war ends today.  Risk premium and damages to infrastructure mean supply normalization will be slow.

Today rising to  $5.49  ...thanks to trump!!

Oil prices surge
on Trump's vow to hit Iran 'extremely hard'

The top seven states experiencing the biggest gas price hikes over the past month are all ones that President Donald Trump won in the 2024 election, according to AAA data reviewed by CNN.

All this bold print is nauseating. Why don't you update us with bold writing when prices are higher than Bidens terms AND for longer.  YAWN

Trump’s address to the nation last night — which offered few details of an exit strategy for the war with Iran [which HE started] or a reopening of the Strait of Hormuz — has rattled markets around the world! 

The president used familiar talking points in his remarks, telling Americans the conflict is “nearing completion.” Yet he also signaled [he] is prepared to intensify [his] military response over the next two to three weeks.

Hey at least he didnt spend 40 minutes talking about how wonderful a Sharpie marker is...
