Trump hikes Americans' (Democrats and Republicans alike) cost of living "just for fun".
He'll just lie to his cult and tell them that gas is under $2 a gallon...like he's been doing for months...they'll believe him and continue to support him - even as they pay over $3 at the pump - "it MUST be $2 SOMEWHERE...duh president wouldn't, lie - he's a gud Christian man!" It's back over $3 a gallon in Charlotte, NC and we're considered relatively cheap here. The economy has NEVER gotten better, but ask any Republicans and they'll tell you how wonderful life is under Rump!
Nice to hear that gas still costs nothing in US.
I know that the US enjoys cheap gas prices. That's not the fault of the consumer. Honestly, we need to be phasing oil out across the board - in everything from fuel to plastics. It won't happen... until oil costs so much that people stop using it. Maybe that's Trump's plan... maybe... and I'm being extraordinarily sarcastic here: His whole plan is to end US oil dependancy by making it too expensive for anyone to buy.
Your fuel is ridiculously cheap.
And food prices have been reduced by 800 to 1200% - yeah, that's the ticket.
Americans (and the rest of the world)
