Trump Says Gas Prices “Aren’t Very High” as Americans Are Paying Billions More at the Pump

 Americans have now spent $21 billion more on gas and diesel since Trump attacked Iran 

Washington, DC – Trump tried to gaslight Americans by claiming that gas prices “aren’t very high”, which is news to anyone who has filled up their tank in the last month. The price of gas skyrocketed at the fastest pace in decades following Trump’s attack on Iran, with the national average at $4.09 per gallon. 

As Americans pinch pennies thanks to Trump’s war of choice, billionaire oil and gas executives are raking in a billion-dollar windfall while telling the American people to “drive less” to save money. Trump has made his priorities abundantly clear: Billionaire oil and gas donors first, the American people last. 

REMINDER: With Trump’s approval ratings in freefall, this isn’t the first time that he has desperately tried to convince Americans to stop being so dramatic as his war kickstarts a global energy crisis.

Donald Trump: “I don’t have any concern about [gas prices]. They’ll drop very rapidly when this is over, and if they rise, they rise, but this is far more important than having gasoline price go up a little bit. And they haven’t risen very much.” 

Donald Trump: “Short term oil prices, which will drop rapidly when the destruction of the Iran nuclear threat is over, is a very small price to pay for U.S.A., and World, Safety and Peace. ONLY FOOLS WOULD THINK DIFFERENTLY!President DJT”
