Price of gas is almost 5 bucks a gallon here in Ohio.

Oof. Yeah the other day I told my nephew after I picked him up from school. I'm like, you support Trump, give me 50 bucks. Heh. Nah, but I'm hoping ppl will be more allergic to bullshit now that the results are speaking for themselves. Ahem. Normally I don't post politics. But we be coming up to a crescendo.

Just think if he didn't lower the cost you wouldn't have known they raised.

@lomaine Actually, Biden brought the price of gas lower, according to AAA.

January 09,2025

WASHINGTON, D.C. (January 9, 2025)—The national average for a gallon of gas is stuck in neutral and has not budged since last week to stay at $3.06.

@ElwoodBlues exactly just pretend it's not happening now and later on you'll find confirmation bias to prove your point. Thanks for demonstrating for us

@lomaine You're advising us to pretend this didn't happen??

US average gas prices now are $4.30, up from $2.87 at the end of Jan 2026. That's a 50% increase in 3 months. Pretend this didn't happen??

Presumably you are claiming tRump lowered the cost. But the data proves that the cost came down during Biden.

The cost came down during Biden. That's the pesky fact you are trying to ignore.

@ElwoodBlues you're just reaffirming my claim. If you can say gas went down under Biden and have a graph to prove it in 5 years I'll do the same. We're different sides of the same coin

@lomaine NOPE. You said

Your pronoun, 'he' has antecedent tRump. You appear to be trying to slip in the claim that tRump lowered gas prices. That is what I'm pointing out.

@ElwoodBlues you're not pointing out anything you're just being argumentative.

That makes no sense. We can notice high gas prices regardless of whether or not they have been high earlier. The graph makes that pretty clear!
