Because we haven't reached Biden levels. Once we do, we can lump them together. Until then, cry more pussy.

I remember Biden’s energy secretary saying that gas prices weren’t Biden’s fault or responsibility but somehow when they rise under Trump’s administration it’s of course his fault

This is an “on the surface” argument that I can understand completely. No one likes these high gas prices, but if you view it in greater context you understand the reasoning, and this gives you a clear view of the difference between the two.

Why are you worried about gas when, as a man, you should be driving a diesel?

B/c we will eventually get something for this small inconvenience (nuke less Iran, stability in the M.E., etc) but with Biden all you got were higher gas prices

How about right now?

Are these high gas prices bad because of Trump's war with Iran?

Pedo Joey used kickbacks to finance his pedo rings and made his family richer. Trump doesn’t take kickbacks

Verifiably false


As of May 2026, U.S. national average gas prices are significantly higher than they were for most of Biden’s presidency (2021–early 2025), especially in the later years. LINK

Today’s prices (4.50+) are $1.30–$1.40 higher than when Biden left office and well above 2023–2025 levels.

Not yet, but that places the bar awfully low when you are saying that it's acceptable for gasoline prices to be 4.00 a gallon on avg vs 4.40 on average.

Anytime gasoline price go up like this, it's not good for whomever is in charge. Trump won't pay a political price, but the Republicans will if this price structure lasts beyond Labor Day.

You can't tell regular folks that paying high prices for gasoline without a big war going on like WWII is somehow to their benefit, even long term. They are paying the price short term, daily.
