    1. “Will you poors just get over it! I bet none have you have even said thank you for the ballroom.”

    2. How would he know? He never refueled a car in his life! He had people who do that. He doesn’t even know what groceries are.

    3. Nothing is very high when you scam millions of dollars a day from the American people and have never looked at the price of anything your entire life. Fat orange moron.

      He’s setting that Overton window now because there’s no end in sight for this war that ends with him ‘winning’, and Europe is 6 weeks away from running out of jet fuel.

      Oil is going to skyrocket once the markets stop believing his ‘should be over in two weeks’ line that we’ve been hearing since the war started.

    5. What he means is that he could make them even higher, so you should be appreciative that he’s such a great leader that he’s not doing things to make them as high as he could.

    6. If he so much admits that the prices *are* high, he will be admitting that he fucked up. Ain’t no way that’s happening.

    7. If he’s saying they’re not very high right now, expect gas prices to go much much much higher…..

      This guy has never been to a gas station. His driver handled that before he was picked up, his whole life.

      Ditto never been to a grocery store.

    9. Like he’s ever had to watch is budget… and like he’s ever pumped a tank of gas himself.

      I think the original French translation of his statement reads ‘let them eat cake’.

      45 fucking dollars to fill up an accord in the deep south where gas is usually cheapest says otherwise. Out of touch old fuck.

    11. Any price increase is a burden if you have already cut spending to bare essentials and still have trouble making ends meet. That is where millions of Americans are now after a decade of wage stagnation, inflation, recent tariffs, gas prices going up, energy prices going up.

      Trump will *never* understand that struggle, because he has lived his entire life with obscene wealth. And it is still not enough for him.

    12. So the genocidal manchild dropped his version of “let them eat cake” as he burns the middle east and destabilize the greatest defensive treaty the world has ever known in NATO.

    13. Understanding-Fair on

      It’s almost like he’s never paid for anything in his entire life and is completely unrelatable to anyone.

    14. The only silver lining is all his F-150, big truck driving idiots taking it up the ass at the pumps. Hope they all go broke supporting him.

      But all the conversations at election time was MAGA bitching about the price of eggs and gas then. It was all BS paid propaganda fucksticks that don’t say shit about it now.

      Oh so I’m not paying double the cost to fuel my equipment for my farm? Oh thanks Donald. 

    17. I’ve ordered a few slightly frivolous things I’ve been putting off, one from overseas, just because I have a feeling we’re on the edge of things getting a bunch worse and I’ll either not be able to afford this stuff because the price went up too much for something I really don’t need or my job went away and I can’t afford anything at all. Or both.

      I’m a mechanic for Porsche so I’m insulated a bit but if people aren’t driving, I’m not going to be getting paid to stand around and do nothing at work for long.

      I already had to live and work through the ‘08 mess and then Covid so maybe only one or two more “once in a lifetime” crisis and I can finally retire (fall over dead in my work bay).

    18. Donald has never bought his own gas in his entire life. And even if he had, he would never notice any increase in gas prices with the amount of money he has.

      It’s time like these that you wish the NRA would do a thing, I thought this was like THEIR WHOLE PURPOSE?

      You have a dictator, a king, a false prophet, a fascist, a pedophile, a CONVICT, a failed businessman, an adulterer, etc…. sitting in the president’s chair all embodied within one “man” and I thought even a single one of those was supposed to be a major no no, what gives?

      Are they all too busy eating cake?

    20. idiots_r_taking_over on

      Maybe we should all just stop eating avocado toast so we can afford the cheap gas?

    21. Let’s be real – if gas prices go up a dollar then on an average tank you are paying 15 more a fill up. Even if you fill up every week that is only 60 a month.

      Most folks I know who are broke are already wasting money ordering Uber Eats regularly when they could save hundreds cooking at home.
