We’re only at mid May right now. It’s expected to increase by another .50 a gallon by mid June.

To be fair, he is “winning” at being the worst on gas prices

Trump is responsible for the worst global energy crisis in modern history.
These world wide trade disruptions and production setbacks are not just causing the price of crude oil and gas to rise, but also the cost of food and many other goods and services.
This war also comes with a massive pricetag for the American taxpayer.
In the meantime, the Trump administration is looking to secure nearly $1.5 TRILLION in military funding, which they plan to offset by cutting funding for domestic programs.
And it’s not just the war that’s to blame either. Americans are facing financial difficulties because of Trump’s failed policies at home too.
Like his tariff and trade policies which have passed costs down to consumers in the form of a regressive tax that is disproportionately raising costs for low income, working class, and poor Americans and families.
Policies that have led to higher prices all around while causing trade wars and hurting domestic industries.
Trump promised to bring manufacturing back to America, but the US has lost nearly 100,000 manufacturing jobs since Trump returned to office.
Under Biden, the US saw four straight years of job growth, but in 2025 alone, there was five total months of job losses.
Trump has also weakened our global alliances and has strained our relationships with trading partners.
China is filling the void left by the US and is becoming a more reliable economic ally for other countries who are now turning to them for trade.
Meanwhile, America’s trade deficit is only growing.
Note that Trump’s policies were exploding the debt and deficit before this war even started.
Trump’s big beautiful bill extended huge tax breaks and incentives for the rich and corporations at the expense of millions of Americans access to healthcare, food assistance, and the social safety net.
Studies also show that without Trump’s tariffs, the inflation rate would have returned to pre pandemic levels.
Income and wealth disparities are MOUNTING. Trump is doing fuck all to address affordability issues and rampant economic inequality.
In fact, income inequality in this country has just reached a 60-year peak.
Trump’s policies have also allowed for the top 1% of stockholders to own more assets than the bottom 99% of investors.
So whenever you here Trump brag about the value of the stockmarket, he’s really just acknowledging that the rich are getting richer while most Americans are struggling to make basic ends meet.
The US dollar is also weakening against other currencies, goods and services.
Trump is making housing *less* affordable for first time buyers and renters in favor of serving the interests of the richest homeowners and investors.
Worse yet, while Americans are being squeezed financially from every side, Trump is using taxpayer money for personal vanity projects and is suing his own government for a hefty taxpayer funded payout for damages to his fragile ego.
He’s also accepting lavish gifts, bribes, investments and donations from foreign governments, CEOs, rich corporate and pro-Trump benefactors, right-wing tech oligarchs, overseas monarchs and petrofascists in exchange for political and economic favors and influence and access to the president.
Trump’s sons are pursuing lucrative business deals through Daddy’s influence. Hunter Biden’s cash flow was insignificant in comparison to Don Jr’s and Eric’s.
Trump and his allies claim that he’s ushering in the “Golden Age” of America.
No, he’s ushering in the greatest redistribution of wealth in a generation, a second “gilded age” if you will.
Sadly, his supporters don’t understand the difference because it would require a basic knowledge of US history.
In other words, Trump is transforming the government into an authoritarian kleptocracy that is literally stealing from the poor to give to rich; concentrating financial power and resources into the hands of the few at the expense of the many who are suffering under the economic tyranny of his regime.

Gas has been in 5 dollar range since the 2008 crash. Its hilarious to watch people pretend this has anything to do with trump.

Even if his supporters didn’t approve of his handling of gas prices, they’d still vote for him
Independent_Habit908 on
politicians love taking credit for cheap gas and blaming everyone else for expensive gas until voters stop buying the excuse

turns out screaming about gas prices nonstop means people eventually expect you to actually fix them
