Gashole: Trump says high fuel costs are good, actually [View all]
FULL of it... ass usual.
Gashole: Trump says high fuel costs are good, actually - Dailykos
As Donald Trump's war in Iran spikes oil and gas prices, the warmonger-in-chief is trying out a new message to blunt political blowback: High oil prices are good, actually.
"The United States is the largest Oil Producer in the World, by far, so when oil prices go up, we make a lot of money," Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
The "we" Trump is referring to certainly isn't average Americans, who are paying 65 cents more per gallon on average to fill up their tanks due to Trump's war.
"Americans today will spend roughly $250 million more on gasoline than they did 30 days ago," Patrick De Haan, an oil and gas price expert, wrote in a post on X.
