The Trump Administration Knew That Trump’s War of Choice With Iran Would Send Gas Prices Through the Roof 

Energy Secretary Chris Wright told the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee that they “knew exactly what would happen” if the Strait of Hormuz closed

Americans have spent $24 billion more on gas and diesel since the war began

Washington, DC – Rising gas prices come as no surprise to Trump administration officials, who “knew exactly what would happen” if Trump attacked Iran, closing the Strait of Hormuz and bringing the world’s oil supply to a grinding halt. Americans are facing months of pain at the pump, and Trump and his henchmen are doing a terrible job of hiding the fact that they’re the ones to blame. 

This isn’t the first time that Secretary Wright has put his foot in his mouth while making excuses for the energy affordability crisis he helped create. Last week, Secretary Wright gave the world’s worst motivational speech when he said, “just because it looks like we’re going in the wrong direction doesn’t mean that’s the direction we are going.” Today, he continued his abysmal messaging streak when he admitted he doesn’t “know the future of energy prices,” as Americans struggle to make ends meet.
