If Rogers is not smart enough to run an ad showing NYC pre-Mandami to post-Mandami and simply reminding people that Communism has far greater lasting effects than temporary gas prices, he doesn't deserve to be elected.

If people switch parties over a tank of gas, America has no hope.

hey're completely driven by cartoonish emotions at this point


The anti-Trump voices since 2016 right on up to present day haven’t been exactly notable for being driven by simple cold calculation and facts.

Sitting there throwing the “emotional” tag at the Trump supporters side is pretty absurd.

And let's face it...the reality is that the dumbass running his War Department is equally guilty. He had absolutely no relevant military experience for running the Department, unless you think guarding detainees at Guantanamo and teaching in a classroom in Kabul qualifies you to run the biggest department in the federal government, with the most employees and the biggest budget. Hegseth is the Secretary because he gladly sucks Trump's cock and tells him what he wants to hear.


I’m not willing to pass the buck downstream. Someone came to Trump with a plan and he greenlit it. Competent leaders, even if they aren’t experts on the subject matter, ask questions or they surround themselves with people that will.

Apparently this was all decided as Trump turned the corner at the 9th hole, because he is so alpha and all, and not a single person asked “what happens if this doesn’t go as planned.”

Not one. And here we are. And we got 2 more years of this Shiite.

Minimum wages for servers at $15.
people tend to forget these more permanent changes that truly effect prices. And they'll still support it to go higher. Pushed by Democrats.

For me...the fact oil prices aren't at least 2x higher at this point, with a ME conflict going on, shows me we'll be fine.

Unfortunately there are way to many broke arse cheap skates that can't handle a financial bump in the road. Cause that's all this is. Not a long term permanent goal like the Democrats under Biden proved they wanted.

Prices have not increased by 40% since February. I stopped reading right there and discounted everything I read before that absolutely false claim. She needs a do better letter from her editor and boss, but they are obviously not up to the task themselves. You can’t despise the media enough


The author is talking about the price of diesel. Not only is she not wrong, she undervaluing the increase.


Avg Cost of Diesel before war and current:

Week of Feb 23 - $3.81
Week of Sep 21 - $6.53

That’s a 71% increase.

You can both support Trump and be clear eyed about the increase costs since February and the war.

President Donald Trump isn't helping by belittling those concerns. He recently told voters in North Carolina that higher gas prices were “a very inexpensive price to pay” for the war.

Inexpensive for whom? A few weekends ago, I drove 200 miles each way to northern Michigan to celebrate my birthday. I can tell you the sticker shock is real.

Trump has promised prices will come down "like rocket ships in reverse," but he hasn't said how.

No wonder voters are growing frustrated and pinning the blame on him. After all, a big reason he won in 2024 was his promise to right former President Joe Biden's economic wrongs.


Trump on the campaign trail spoke to the frustrations people had with inflation, gas prices, and general cost of living, but Trump as POTUS has completely disregarded those feelings. All policy debate aside, the tonal shift is the biggest reason for the growing resentment.

You mean the Russo/Ukraine war where Ukraine is droning the shite out of Russian refineries creating a global demand for diesel? Trump didn't start that.



No, but he/we are funding it.
