this doesn't excuse high gasoline prices, high grocery prices, war with Iran, inflation, or high mortgage rates all things Trump told us we would get with Biden or Harri


define high gasoline prices

define high grocery prices

define high mortgage rates.

define inflation.

use some historical context. say since 2000 or 2008 for instance.

It's one thing to take pot shots at gas prices from one week to the next because OMB. It's another to be a clown like you.

BTW, we have those illegal immigrants becasue Obama Biden and Harris (the latter two of which you want to claim you're getting the same thing with Trump), failed in their primary purpose as President/VP. And you oppose what OMB is trying to do to curb and reduce that number. Clown

Instead of cherrypicking the perfect month for your rant, why not just pick where it was when the old guy left office and the new one came in?

But let me guess. You were hoping that Trump would bomb Iran before Trump thought that Trump decided to bomb Iran and considered Iran an extessential threat to Middle East securty and other globalist talking points way before Trump told you that's what you should think.

What's happening currently isn't cherrypicking, genius. It's today's events.

Yup...all those oil and gas speculators are killing America. America doesn't use that much oil from that region..but they'll make you believe we do. Either that or India, China and Japan do and they are buying it up and pricing America out of the small amount we do get from the Middle East.

What you’ve both supplied is certainty without proof.

Nc tigah calls Biden’s prices incompetence and Trump’s prices geopolitical consequence. Lsut81 goes further and says Biden raised them on purpose to force electric vehicles. Neither of you has established that causal story. You’ve simply assigned the ugliest motive to Biden and the most charitable explanation to Trump.

Presidents can influence gas prices, but they do not command the market from the Oval Office. OPEC, wars, refining capacity, supply shocks, demand, and speculation all matter.

So pick a standard and keep your boots in it. If Biden owned every increase, Trump owns these. If global forces matter under Trump, they mattered under Biden. Changing the name on the door does not change the burden of proof.

I didn't make it past this remark ... so,,,

China is not bailing out the world; instead, it is dealing with a severe domestic economic slowdown, characterized by falling real estate investments and declining energy demands. While China previously extended $240 billion in emergency loans to Belt and Road countries, this lending has dried up as Beijing focuses on its own financial rescue efforts.

What the frick are you blabbing about. I've never given Trump a charitable explanation.

Biden purposely drove up gas prices to drive his green agenda, Trump inadvertently drove them up through his asinine Iran conflict

Hilarious, to be called a TDS/LIBTARD from the right and now Biden Bashing/Trump apologist from you.

I’m talking about your standard of proof, not your opinion of Trump.

Sure, that should not be a problem. Please let me know if there are any other days you need for comparison. How about milk and eggs prices? Please let me know when you are ready.

On January 20, 2020, the day before POTUS Trump left office, the U.S. national average price for regular unleaded gasoline was approximately $2.54 to $2.55 per gallon, according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA) and AAA. This represented a decline of about 3 cents from the previous week and was roughly 29 to 31 cents higher than the price during the same week in 2019.

On January 20, 2025, the day Joey Biden and Otto Pen ended their occupation of the White House, the U.S. national average for regular gasoline was $3.12 per gallon, according to AAA data, while the EIA reported an average of $3.10 per gallon. GasBuddy data indicated a slightly lower national average of $3.09 per gallon on that same date.

no, they'll just tell you they'll gladly pay $4.00 bucks a gallon if it means Iran can't have a nuke.

You are a moron if you won't pay $4 a gallon so that Iran can't have a nuke.

What is your understanding of the likely global impact of Iran and Israel trading nuclear strikes?

I'm convinced there are those whose loyalty is first and foremost to a man. It's ridiculous at this point to pretend that man is not a phoney selling us out in the interests of another nation. The trojan horse trots on and his sycophants lap up the droppings as they crawl right over the proverbial cliff.

A bunch of figs come on here to cry about Trump and everything associated with him, daily, here. So why should you be any different?

Complain away.

Gas prices suck... So do Democrats. I'm still fine with my vote in November 2024.

Keep the fight up, patriot. When we’re sitting in Trump Tower Iran, sipping on Mai Tais and overlooking the strait of Hormuz these fools will shut up.
