Should Trump address the Nation on the oil and gas price crisis...

What crisis? Gas is still less than it was during your buddy Joe Biden's "presidency". Did Joe or one of his handlers address us then?

He'll just say something like "I told the oil companies to quit gouging" and they won't do shite about it. He really could give a frick less but hey at least iran doesn't have a nuclear weapon right?! We should all be thankful.

My point exactly...nobody is being told this IF TRUE...and it's definitely NOT true for diesel.

Maybe, but he needs his Energy Secretary, who is 700 times more knowledgeable on this subject, to frame all his talking points, and he needs to stick to the script.

President Trump has become his own worst enemy, especially when he goes off script on a subject he knows nothing about. Zero reason to do that and give the Lamestream Media free ammo.

Average for gas when Biden left office was $3.08

Current average $4.48

Yes, that Biden inflation has been a real sore spot for us all!! In the very least, POTUS Trump should let the nation know just how horrible the Biden "presidency" was for their pocketbooks which is why POTUS Trump won in a landslide. Joey Biden could not even run again because he was such a horrible "president".

In January 2000, when POTUS Trump left office, the average U.S. retail price for all grades of gasoline was $1.329 per gallon, while regular gasoline averaged $1.289 per gallon.

All Grades (Jan 2000): $1.329/gallon

Regular (Jan 2000): $1.289/gallon

These figures represent nominal prices; the 2000 average annual price of approximately $1.51–$1.52 is equivalent to roughly $2.93 in 2026 dollars due to the inflation during the Biden "presidency".

I for one cannot understand why it just keeps getting worse with no explanation from the Whitehouse....

Because then they have to publicly defend the choice to start war with Iran and that would make it worse, and the admin knows this.

Because Trump knows he fricked up but he's too fricking arrogant to admit it and try to find a fix. Instead he just doubles down on his errors to give the impression he feels it's the right thing to do when in reality, he doesn't give a frick how our monthly budgets are taking a hit because we're now paying nearly two car notes a month in fricking gas purchases.

I for one think that he thinks he's making the world safer and the gas issue is a hard part of that, and that's the only reason he's doing this. I don't believe for a second that Trump fricked up. History will show that...he just needs to explain that in simple terms to the American people..

I do believe he fricked up. His own intelligence community, filled with people he handpicked, said Iran was not an imminent threat. He attacked them hard, fricked up prices even more, reduced our stockpiles, and likely created thousands of additional terrorists and emboldened the ones who already existed who will plot attacks against us going forward.

The Iran war was not needed and a massive broken promise. Trump fricked up royally and if he had a D behind his name, this board would be 100% against him and his actions during this 2nd term. You know it, I know it, everyone here knows it deep down.
