It’s interesting you said you voted for Trump and now against him so I guess you did change positions…

Idk why libs bitch about gas prices. They don’t believe in oil and don’t have jobs. Maybe they are mad they have to fork up more EBT coin to attend their 100th no kangs protest.

$10 or more because Iran would have a few nukes and screw all of its neighbors

I’m not against Trump, I’m against baseless war in the ME. I’m against unfettered support of Israel. I’ve learned since 9/11 that our interests have never been advanced by war in the ME. I also understand that if your foreign policy aligns with Lindsey Graham and Chuck Schumer, we are not on the same page on foreign policy.

We need to focus on the deficit, on aging infrastructure, on domestic production, etc.

You just adopt whatever Trump does, irrespective of whether it’s good for the country, even if it tracks with liberal positions, like foreign intervention, spending like a drunken sailor, surveillance state IC, covering up for Epstein, etc.

Trump is not a conservative.

Long term gains? The same butchers are running Iran. They will be more determined than ever to obtain a nuclear weapon.

Remember when Trump and you idiots were talking about how the Middle East will be changed forever! A prosperous and peaceful future! Finally peace in the middle east!

Some of you are legit retarded. Trump, despite preaching against this type of action since 2015, took on a war of choice that was poorly thought out with no exit strategy. The best option he had was just stop which I guess he deserves some credit for.

Come February Iran will once again be weeks away from a nuke!

He fell for the bullshite and now has to sell the bullshite about Iran raining nukes everywhere. Trump was authentic. That was his appeal. Now he sounds like John Bolton and Lindsey Graham. Sad.

Are gas prices taking that much money out of your monthly budget.

I’m curious. How much more money per month are you paying to commute?

Netanyahu has attempted to trick every president for the last 30 years into attacking Iran. He first claimed that Iran was close to obtaining nukes in 1992.

Trump was the first president stupid enough to fall for it. Even Biden didn’t get tricked into this shite.

I know you will never consider this but what IF….

Trump was tired of Israel saying Iran
was a month away from having nuclear weapons and he decided to take Iran out of the equation.

Some people have said Trump is saving Israel for last to deal with.

Is this something that would interest you?

The cure for low oil prices is low oil prices. Gas was never going to stay $2 a gallon. Iran accelerated some market dynamics, but oil was always going to climb in 2026.

Does that seem like an intelligent thing to do? You think spending billions on the military action, getting several servicemen killed, and severely burdening the economy and Americans with inflation, fuel costs, potentially losing Congress….AND the Strait is shut down AND the same people are still in charge. That seem smart to you? That’s a clown thought.

The price right now doesn't bother me. It was even more expensive when Biden was in power. So to me it is still cheaper.

There was no war anywhere under Biden, yet . . . .
quote:

Under policies of the Biden Administration, the average weekly retail gasoline price hit an all-time high of $5.07 per gallon.

Also, no war in 2012
quote:

In 2012, under Obama gas prices reached $3.69 per gallon

This was Bushs last year in office, when talks about Iraq War troop withdrawals had begun
quote:

President Bush saw a huge rise in gasoline prices when he was in office, which more than doubled to $3.30 per gallon

I actually filled up at a Murphy gas at $2.19 about a week before the conflict with Iran started . I truly believe it could have dropped another 19 cents and be around $1.99 had this conflict not cranked up. Just my opinion

IMO the Cabal wants those gasoline prices high. The cost of fuel (aka transportation cost) is passed on to the consumer in the form of high prices for goods and services. IMO that spells a disaster in the making for President Trump.

IMO he's falling into the same trap that George Bush I fell into with the "gallon of milk" thing. As in the argument that President Trump is ridiculously rich and does NOT understand the struggles of ordinary people. The democrats use that argument effectively against Republicans all the time.

Then there are all these peripheral events - like the Iran debacle. Which I now have to admit was a trap for President Trump. He campaigned on the promise not to get us into a war and what are we involved in? A war with Iran. And inspite of efforts to convince the electorate the war is ended Iran still exerts control over the passage through that Straight of Hormuz. Effectively, driving up the futures on energy which ultimately is passed on to the consumer.
