      Presidents don’t control gas prices, directly. They do control actions which can cascade to higher gas prices. For instance, causing a massive, unnecessary war or refusing to intervene in a once in a lifetime global pandemic before it’s too late.

    2. Then: “GAS PRICES ARE GOING UP! IMPEACH BIDEN! IMPEACH BIDEN!”

      Now: “PAYING MORE FOR GAS IS PATRIOTIC! WHY DO YOU HATE THIS COUNTRY?”

    3. Oh, make no mistake. This is by design. It’s deliberate market manipulation. Executed by people with lots of money and no conscience. Who want more money. They’re also using it as a smoke screen to distract people from the Epstein files, and about a hundred separate efforts to chip away at civil liberties and voting rights.

      Plus people who can’t afford their basic necessities are less likely to show up to protest In massive numbers. It’s harder to get time off work, and traveling is prohibitively expensive.

      In effect it was Donald both times.

      By not containing COVID, and injecting $5T in new dollars into the economy, it caused a shutdown, restart and inflation wall, that only just receded as 2024 was winding down (because cause and effect aren’t always immediate or linear in supply chains).

      Then February 28th happened, and the prices adjusted based on ‘oh fuck, but this’ll be temporary, reserves will take the worst off’. Which is the prices we see now after those releases. Except it’s not temporary, it’s looking to be the new status quo.

      But your fuck nut friend who can’t calculate a tip without taking his socks off has many thoughts.

    5. MAGA: Sleepy dementia joe Biden, the worst and dumbest president in the history of America, left behind so many devious traps and mechanisms he’s actually running the government in the shadows, leading a shadow cabal to undermine Trump, everything bad that has happened is because sleepy dementia joe biden is actually a criminal mastermind who is running rings around THE GREATEST and SMARTEST and MOST brilliant president, 47, Donald J trump, who had passed SO MANY IQ tests, they never tested Sleepy Joe but trump and his AMAZING cabinet are in the process of fighting Biden and they will WIN, releasing the Epstein files were just the first step, Biden never released them, it was trump that released them, and All the redactions? All bidens names underneath. Biden and Obama an AOC and Clintons…. Soon Biden and Obama and all the Dems will be in prison where They belong!!!

      Edit: this was a joke. Satire. But I guess it’s too real lol.

      Trump has set and continues to improve upon the record for highest gas prices America has ever seen.

      I can’t, not in America! Only tRump’s protĂ©gĂ© Mr. Pootin could be considered, but he’s taking a lot longer to do it.

      Is all market manipulation for him and his buddies
      That have a lot pf money invested in those gas companies

      Is obvious what he is doing he is been doing it since day 1

    10. Almost like, context matters.

      “Sleepy joe” didn’t start a war which caused a key pathway for tankers to pass through, to become closed.

      Trump did. And he actually falls asleep too. đŸ€Šâ€â™‚ïž

      Only because “Global economic factors that are beyond the president’s control and generally too difficult for the average person to understand, but in 2021 it was super SUPER easy because it was a giant fucking shipwreck that plugged up the entire global shipping system and took years to recover from, but somehow people blamed Biden anyway” wouldn’t fit on the screen
