The $5.02 ghost: Trump’s team faces a symbolic blow to one of its favorite economic talking points. Trump officials are “absolutely, totally freaked” about the symbolism of breaking gas price record. There is little the administration can do except watch the figures tick up day after day.

They’re completely regarded but there’s no way, even on this embarrassing timeline, that they didn’t see this coming.
There’s a lot they could do, but they ain’t gonna do it.
5.02 will feel like a bargain by the end of the summer.
I’m gonna be able to buy a nice Tahoe from someone for like $500 again like it’s 2007
But I was told by every trump voter that the president controls gas prices…
They literally made stickers for it
Ummmm…..they could fucking end the war they started in Iran??!?
Gas prices would still be fucked for a long time, but still, the best time to end the war was yesterday. The second best time is today.
they don’t care.
Gas prices are $8.44/gal in London and $9.43/gal in Paris.
Watch…it’ll hit $5.02 and chuds will be like “hurr durr its still less than Biden hurr durr because in today’s dollars $5.02 is $5.50 hurr durr…”
Which will totally ignore why inflation has been high enough to cause a shift like that in only 4 years.
And when it hits $5.50…well I’m not even sure what their mental gymnastics routine will hold.
