Only if you’re an easily manipulated useful idiot. I posted the numbers.

You didn't post the price of gasoline, diesel, mortgage rates, inflation, or even a bag of Doritos or a 12 pack of Mountain Dew for the fatties.

You did use mental gymnastics. Keep in mind in several states Governors are having to temporarily remove the gasoline tax and gasoline is still high. That's how bad things are right now. Even with trying to artificially suppress prices its still high.

False. Trump has denied knowing anything about him and now he is covering up the files.


Liar. The attorney for the only victim to come forward has said on multiple occasions that Trump was the only person wiling to do anything to help. The amount of ignorance it takes to correct someone making a completely factual statement is astonishing.

How is that war going? Can you describe the most recent battle?

The price of oil per barrel, indexed for inflation, is below the average. Same with inflation and mortgage rates. I don’t eat Doritos or drink Mountain Dew. You will have to fill us in. I do love you basically admitting the actual numbers don’t count and it’s just the perception of “the fatties” that does. Basically you are blaming Trump for the populace, including you, being ignorant to the facts.

Why is gas so high if oil isn’t? Why don’t call gas that is below average indexed for inflation high?


You haven’t posted a single fact. You’re just another NPC useful idiot repeating what you’ve been told. You ignore the actual stats.

Maybe some day you won't have Money Illusion.

At any rate, interest(if you are getting it) builds wealth while inflation destroys it.

Gas could be 10 cents tomorrow and I still wouldn't support Trumps war.

I answered the question.

I also buy real gas, not corn alcohol.

I don't either but I have eyes and can see the prices when I am at the store.

Great. Glad you can admit it isn’t about gas prices and it is about Trump. Proving my point yet again.

This is like saying a cancer tumor and a savings account are the same thing because they both grow over time.

Keep telling yourself that.

When folks are spending twice as much on gas as they are groceries each week, shite is gonna get a little wonky.

I list the actual facts and you refute it with your eyeballs. Then call me a dishonest sycophant. beautiful. You suffer from recency bias and extraordinary ignorance. You can’t refute facts so you give us your feels. Beautiful.

Why is gas “high” when oil isn’t? And how is it Trump’s fault?

I said it's about WHY gas prices are up. Most people oppose the war, the gas prices are salt.

Kind of like gas prices were salt when gas prices went up under Biden. We all knew why they were up and most people opposed it.

You'd all call it a win if you could just get back to pre-war status is how it's going.

You could have just admitted you aren’t aware of a single battle in this “war.”
