How Trump and the GOP drove up gas prices

Remember prices are subject to the laws of supply and demand, Trump and the GOP worked hard to drive up demand which caused prices to spike

Thanks to the GOP and Trump gas prices have never been higher thanks to all their efforts to increase the demand for gasoline. Some of the ways they are costing us huge amounts of money include:

Trump rolling back MPG minimums for automakers
Trump followers and their giant gas-guzzling pickups and mega-SUVs
Elon Musk making all his employees return to the office
MAGA vehicle parades
The right-wing "people's convoy"
Trump imposing tariffs on solar panels
Trump constantly bashing wind power

You are correct, 67 Rover, my mistake.  I will say that the DUmmies list up there made me literally laugh out loud, which is hard to do these days.  "Bashing wind power" = gas prices go up.   :lmao:   Elon Musk making his employees get back to the office.   :rotf:

So President Trump made gas prices high by making gas prices low when he was president and conversely Sponge Brain Shit Pants Biden is going to make them low by making them higher.

DUmbass DUchebagary logic.

True. And this is only early June. After this Jan. 6 farce doesn’t move the needle, as inflation continues to turn voters against Biden and the Dems, and all the other negatives coming down the pike, they’re going to fall deeper into the abyss.

By early September we’ll be looking back and noting how in June they were only mildly insane.

8. Supply and demand don't apply to these high gas prices!

There are no gas shortages driving up demand, no gas stations with long lines of cars waiting for fuel.

This is gouging, make no mistake about it.

....and OPEC is probably the biggest factor in setting the global oil commodity price. They can REALLY screw us now that we're no longer energy-independent due to the demented FOOL in office right now. They didn't have that leverage over us when we were energy-independent under Trump. Last time our prices were high AF was during Obama....when we were also energy-DEpendent like we are today and had to rely on our enemies.

Thanks for admitting Biden is at fault and thanks for playing.

Lesson here, kids, don't vote for Democrats.
