I’ve been saying that on here.

But….EVERYTHING must be Trump’s fault.

This is mainly because of the idiots pushing Ukraine.

We should just deploy special ops to Ukraine and eliminate the Ukrainian leadership. They are not our allies and never have been

The one thing under Trump's control is invading Iran. Without that gas would be a dollar cheaper per gallon. So yeah, it is his fault.

Hormuz is the bigger influence on gas.

Ukraine is the bigger influence on diesel.

Years of leftist green propaganda and policy plays a role on both because we stopped building refineries.

None of this is POTUS Trump's fault. We went to war to prevent a future beholden to zealots and globalists. What we are seeing now is their last gasp effort, right before an American election, to harm the POTUS policies that will ultimately prevail by removing the power from the zealots and globalists.

There is a reason the name of the Department of Defense was quickly changed to the Department of War. It is because we are in one and we are winning. Please, do not ever think this is all about Iran, which is just a pawn on the board that the US currently has in check.

The next move by the US is checkmate!!

How is Ukraine affecting an American refinery not having the crude oil to refine into diesel?

No, that attacking Russian refineries is the reason diesel is so expensive.

The same Trump who said he would end that war before he even took office?

Who is to blame for gasoline being $4 a gallon right now? Kamala? Biden? Tell us.

Its not but Russia is the 2nd biggest exporter of diesel.

Now our exports will seek to fill that gap, hurting consumers domestically. The only way to avoid that is for Trump to stop exports. Otherwise, we pay more for diesel to compete with the world shortage due to Russia's diminished capacity.
