KEY POINTS
Donald Trump said Thursday that gasoline prices are “not very high.”
A Quinnipiac University national poll of registered voters showed that 65% of U.S. voters blame Trump either “a lot” or “some” for the rise in gas prices seen since the beginning of the Iran war.
Trump said those prices are not as high as what was expected from the war, which he said was aimed at denying Iran the ability to produce a nuclear weapon.



What is wild is that so many reactionary centrists spent years lecturing the Biden administration and “blue MAGA” 🙄 for trying to explain the full context of the economy under Covid and instead trying to insist that instead of numbers, we should be listening to the vibes, man. Ignore all those market indicators, people feel bad, man, and anyone that says otherwise should be ashamed, etc.
Wonder where all these assholes are now, given that, as opposed to the case for Biden, we can point DIRECTLY at something that PEDOnald has done to drive things that hurt the economy and make everything more expensive.
