Trump's brain is permanently locked on 2020. That's the last time gas was under $2 nationally, at the beginning of Covid. Who knows how many years it's been since he actually pumped his own gas -- maybe never.
Fair enough. But the WH press pool has already been reduced, and actual journalists have been replaced with MAGA "influencers." Obviously Trump wants the pool to eventually consist of nothing by MAGA trolls, and crossing him up will just accelerate the process.
I tried to tell the attendant at the gas station that the $3.69 price was incorrect because the president said it was $1.99. I even showed him the social post as proof.
Yet if they don’t speak up they will get booted out anyways as he will only allow media that promotes him and his ignorant views. So they are still gonna lose.
they would be removed and forever banned from the press room, so nobody dares to do this... wish all reporters would show some backbone and simply all get up and leave when they are demonstrably being lied to.
His MAGAt cult will believe it. Of their two brain cells, one is distracted by the refrigerator, and the other is distracted by the shiny keys he dangles in front of them.
Maybe, since he's just back from the Middle East, he's talking about pump prices in Kuwait where it is currently $1.06 per gallon, Usually known to be the lowest price country in the region! It's even $2.35 in Saudi Arabia. Still more than in Mar-a-Lago?
It doesn’t matter. His bigot base will believe anything he says. He can say all Americans got a million dollars deposited in their bank accounts last month and his bigot base would go around convinced they are millionaires.
And worse yet, try and buy a 100k cars w/ their imaginary money.
$4.39 here.
Please Inform All the Service Station owners that the President has Executively Declared that the Price of regular gas is now set at $1.99 before this weekend when I’ll need to fill up next.! Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Reporters need to be armed with facts and figures and be ready to defend the truth when lies are dribbling from the mouths of politicians. This is their job.
Also, according to Trump, egg prices have come down so low that pretty soon they will be free. He said the price had come down about 90% or more. At this rate we should be able to go in a grocery store and get free eggs. Really, they talk about Biden’s mental acuity and not Trump’s, amazing.
Who will ask the press secretary tomorrow about this? Or better yet Dem's (or American people) should film themselves pumping gas and show the price. Flood the media with the visuals
To be clear our prices are higher because we are trying to nudge our residents to move toward a more sustainable transportations module such as EV's.
It's an instant rebate at the time of an EV purchase or lease. Not popular but it's a start when the federal government is trying to kill EV's.
Those prices you posted seems a bit high for me. When was the picture taken? We do already have one of the highest gas taxes because we don't have an income tax. I think that may be the case.
Sorry my bad. I just looked at the price. Chevron is definitely a higher cost bran. I don't waste the extra cost in my 2001 Santa Fe Gas is tooo high but I plan to move into a full EV by the end of the year and take advantage of the $9K instant 3 year lease rebate the state offers.
I think he’s looking at the wholesale cost but is too dumb to realize this isn’t the price people pay at the pump. He probably doesn’t even know where the gas goes in the car.
Without fossil fuel modern life is impossible.
If no fossil fuel, world stuck in preindustrial hell:
- No industrial revolution.
- No trees.
- No whales.
- No trains.
- No refrigeration.
- No economy
- No Las Vegas
- No Boeing 747s
- Streets full of dung.
- Medieval villages of starving peasants.
Can you please tell Garrett Haake to relay that FACT to the President instead of us???
I would like to see some journalism that holds officials accountable to their face in real-time instead of reporting their lies & fact-checking only to us!
That doesn’t feel like too much to ask.
Lies got Trump where he is today. The great & powerful Trump firmly believes even more lies will take him even further.
Emperor of America?

Do everyday MAGAs ever personally fact check this guy? Do they hear him say that gas is $1.99 across the country and then go to the filling station and pay $2.99… scratching their heads wondering why all the gas stations in the country are wrong?
Gas hasn't been below $2.00 in my part of the country for quite some time. Currently at $3.09 and rising.
Cheeto is either smoking something or severely delusional. (I'm opting for the latter).
just filled up today (20 May) at Exxon and it was $2.65 here in SE Texas. at HEB, a Texas grocery chain, it was $2.45 which is about the lowest in the area.
Our local news channel is showing daily campaign rally-style videos of the 🍊💩 telling lie after lie after lie about jobs, inflation, cost of living, gas & grocery prices . . . ALL the bullshit everyone knows are LIES, but they keep up the brainwashing till I want to PUKE! This shit MUST STOP!
HE says it - MAGA believes it. Facts are 100% irrelevant to the MAGAts. tRump's addled brain just spits out nonsense, and that nonsense allows those without a functioning brain to think they;re smart.
MAGAs live in deep rabbit holes. It's not Trump who is lying, it is the gas stations! So, what Trump says, is the the QAnon certified gas price, before the gas stations rip you off. 🤪
I'd pay money to see Emperor Tangerine 5D gas up a car at a tank station, without prior training and instruction by anyone!
I doubt he ever personally put gas in a car himself, so how would he know? gas prices are commoner problems and are a foreign concepts to him, like "groceries" or "equalizing"!
I quit X/Twitter last Fall.
I do not wish to ever return.
However, I am sure there will be thousands of faithful MAGA members telling each other on X that they get gas for under $2 in their community. Same for eggs being priced lower than last year. Amazing.
Lowest averages, according to AAA are Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana at $2.665 where they basically have lines directly from the refinery into the gas pumps.
How does he get away with this nonsense? Anyone who drives a car knows it's not true. It infuriates me that anyone else would be skewered for bad takes like this.
So apparently whole sale gas prices are around $1.99, but for retail at the pump it's closer to $3.20 not that Trump cares or knows what the difference is.
Comments
"Where did you hear that? Since you don't drive."
"You've been told this is not true before. Why do you keep saying it."
Of course he will insult and bluster. That's NOT a reason to let him be unchallenged.
The attendants response:
and that would kill them
Didn't think so.
That’s it
Master of the Morons
The Great Orange Dope lied
Shame on Orange Jesus
The station I go to was $3.25 on Jan 20th, today it’s 3.89.
Thanks to the 🍊💩🤡
He also said he aced his cognitive test…again
Draw your own conclusions…
And worse yet, try and buy a 100k cars w/ their imaginary money.

Alright, all homes for sale nationwide are $45K with no interest, no property tax.

Looks like we are paying a flat $.45./gal excise tax. I can't find how the EV rebate program is paid for as a tax?

If his mouth is ope, he’s lying.
It’s more noteworthy when folks track when he tells the truth.
That is why it is clear that MAGA is a cult.

Completely divorced from reality!
Sorry Two Dolls but everyone knows the price of gas but you!!!!
his lies on national tv. 85% off prescription drugs is a pipe dream.
Cheeto is either smoking something or severely delusional. (I'm opting for the latter).
When someone intentionally says something untrue, with the intent to deceive, that is now called a "lie".
$3.17+ is what you pay at the pump for a retail store.
If I put in a fuel delivery anywhere from 100gls to 10,000 gls I’ll get a price quote for that delivery. If I can store it I can get it around $2.80.
It’s a cult

That was a little over a week ago.
MAGATS are such brain washed fools.
