"Dear Supreme Leader, dictator Trump. Thank you for making America bankrupt again": Americans are already trolling Trump at gas stations over skyrocketing fuel prices
Ironically, during Sleepy Joe's presidency Trump regularly used high gas prices as an argument against the Democratic administration, and before the current war he promised to lower energy costs. 27 in February gasoline in the U.S. cost on average about $2,98 per gallon. The very next day the U.S. and Israel started a war with Iran, after which the oil market faced a massive shock due to supply problems through the Strait of Hormuz.
Now the national average price for regular gasoline has already reached about $4,44, in California it's over $6, and diesel averages around $6,40. Individual stations and fuel types can be significantly more expensive, so the $7,89 shown in the video do not represent the U.S. average price.
Trump himself now attributes the price increases to the war and disruptions in the oil market, has accused oil companies of price gouging, and even told Americans that slightly higher gas prices are an acceptable price to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.
