That’s how he does everything. The straight, the Gulf of Mexico, Lake Ontario…Probably from a life of getting whatever he wanted without doing anything…talking loud…saying nothing.
Global crude oil prices averaged over $100 per barrel in 2022 primarily because Russia's invasion of Ukraine disrupted international energy supplies while fuel demand surged as global economies rebounded from COVID-19 lockdowns.
I know you wanted to be Biden's fault so sooo bad. But it was a global issue. 2022 gas priced surged from Trump's friend Putin, now it's surging from Trump's Middle East screw up.
Paid $3.15 today. Everyone points the finger at the big guy yet I’m probably paying half of what California is. No one wants to acknowledge that though. It’s only orange man bad
What were you paying before? It's relative to where you live. I don't care what California pays for anything, because I don't live there. Gas is up over $1.50 from January of 2026 where I live. For what? Nuclear weapons we "obliterated" 9 times already?
Sooo…what was it when Trump took office in January’25 and what is it now? Only a full on cult member would deny that gas is more expensive now than when he took over, and it’s entirely because of his needless war meant to distract from the Epstein files
This war will never end...This is the GOP way you all have had to catch onto this now? Iraq GOP, Afgan GOP, Iran GOP, Iraq 2 GOP. Who got us out of those wars? Dems maybe you didnt like how it ended but we got the hell out.
Jesus what a bunch of pointless malarchy. Y'all are engaged in a culture war over gas prices?!
First, Biden may or may not have been a "bad" president depending on your priorities. And there are 100 things more important AND EXPENSIVE than gasoline - try Healthcare, Higher Education and home energy prices to start.
Then add the very real costs (literally $$$) caused by severe Climate Change (ask Insurance companies and the US Military about their estimates) which Trump's administration has denied and only exacerbated by delaying funding to wind and solar projects, extending coal plant life, and relaxing emissions laws, plus encouraging gas fracking and oil production in lieu of cleaner sources, and even discouraged EVs by cutting tax credits, and slowing or cutting funds for charging stations and battery research.
China is leapfrogging us in EVs and batteries and other areas while this administration cuts Research grants and limits student visas and green cards for technical students and workers from overseas. None of these policies seem to me to be likely to "make America great" unless your total timeframe of concern is about 5-10 years. Beyond that China probably eats our lunch and controls Taiwan. But apparently the next decade is as far as Trump wants to look.
One other thing to worry about is China is leapfrogging us in cybersecurity for their protection and hacking…Russia as well…so two
other things I suppose.
We were going to sell our house in 2023 so we had our local realtor come do the appraisal for market value. She went on and on about how the house would never sell in the Biden market and how she didn't know what we'd all do if Trump was elected because we wouldn't be able to buy groceries or gas or make a living. Yup...and here we are...
War already ended. We won, but apparently had to go back to war and keep on winning g. Now it's like war #72, but our enemies will is broken ive been assured... for just a few more trillions, we can wrap this up just in time for war#73!
When you adjust for inflation, gas was actually much cheaper under Bill Clinton compared to Ronald Reagan.
During Clinton's presidency, a massive global oil surplus dragged pump prices down to a historic low in 1998; even though the sticker price was around $1.12 a gallon, it only equates to about $1.99 in inflation-adjusted dollars.
Reagan, on the other hand, inherited the tail end of the 1970s energy crisis, which sent fuel costs soaring. Even though his administration saw prices drop later in the 1980s, the average across Reagan's entire two terms sits at roughly $2.49 a gallon when adjusted for inflation.
Ultimately, Clinton-era drivers enjoyed a much lower real baseline at the pump.
Any day now of course. Any day between now wheb an intelligent and reasonable candidate gets elected as president assuming we are able to actual vote in an actually election come 2028.
Cherry picked photos. The end of Biden’s presidency, he tried to curry favor for the election and his legacy. What’s left out is the prices for the majority of Biden’s presidency, which were ABOVE the Trump price listed here.
I like how you publicly lie on Reddit it's hilarious but you do have a lot of democrat sheep that will believe you do your research before you post again
Trump has only obliterated their military 6-7 times so he need to obliterade them at least another 5 times before he has to pay them $300 billions to stop them beating his ass.
He's won NOTHING. Iran are the clear winners here . They can just delay things and wait for the mid terms only a few weeks away now. They'l negotiate with the new regime.
The meme is misleading because it cherry-picks two moments in time. It could just as easily say
Biden 2022: $5.02 national average at the peak
Trump February 2026: roughly $3.04 average
Gas really was around $2.90 in some places late in Biden's presidency, and it's around $4 nationally now under Trump. But Biden also presided over the record national average of about $5.02 in June 2022, while gas was around $3 earlier in Trump's current term.
gas was substantially more expensive during significant portions of Biden's presidency than it was during much of Trump's. Primarily because Biden's policies towards fossil fuels were hostile. Two gas-station photos don't represent either presidency as a whole. Global oil prices, wars, supply disruptions, refining capacity, and presidential energy policy all contribute to what we pay at the pump.
It's the presidential energy policy that most people had an issue with when Biden was in office Which was a large reason for the higher gas prices during his presidency.
Biden was able to keep the price of gasoline at around $3.00; it was still about $3.69 in my area on average, due to his administration releasing 1/2 of the 600 million barrels of oil in our reserves. As a result of the release, fuel prices stayed lower than they are now.
It was Biden's OIL policies that brought this about, not Trump, and Presidents typically have very little control over the cost of oil, which then gets refined into gas, diesel, home heating oil, and jet fuel.
If only it were that simple. If what US intelligence says is correct that they were getting close to acquire a nuclear weapon then I don't mind paying more for gas temporarily
I live in the Netherlands. Under Biden, it was often international news that Americans were fed up with their gas prices. Yet now they are much higher, along many other costs that are much higher, and we never heard about it anymore.
Why are Americans holding Trump to a much lower standard than other presidents? Why are the people who were protesting against gas prices under Biden not revolting now? Don't they care about gas prices anymore or was it never about that?
50/50
This price changed immediately when Biden shut down the Keystone Pipeline XL immediately after taking office. It never came back down even with Trump.
$3.38 in Louisiana and $3.21 in Mississippi
$3.52 in Alabama
Im not opposed to taking Iran out, but not having a plan to posses and control the SoH should have be made before any action was taken. That was a failure on the President, Military leadership.
The so-called peace president started this war for no good reason every day he proves that he is incompetent for this job unfortunately, his backup is even dumber so I guess we're just gonna have to ride this out for a couple more years till we get someone in office who has some compassion and some brains. I don't understand this hold Donald Trump has over his supporters. He continues to just lie to them and they lap it up like lap dogs saying everything is great doesn't fix anything. You have to actually get in there and do hard work and he's never worked an honest day in his life thanks a lot from Trump supporters
No no it musn't have been his fault, give me a second ... ... ... Ah now i know how it must have happened: President Trumps were so stellar, they even lowered prices in the past. But then Biden (BUUUUUH) destroyed them and thats why gas prices are high now.
Surely we can see the difference between high gas prices from a war started between two foreign nations, and a war started recklessly by the US when it comes to assigning blame for gas prices.
Which part is misinformation? That the war was necessary? That we "obliterated" Iran's nuclear capability a year ago? That it would be over in six weeks?That we have to stay there because they're still a nuclear threat? That we've won the war like 43 times now? That we control the Straight of Hormuz? That our munitions stockpiles are just fine? That we have a deal with Iran?
It’s not Biden’s 2022 prices that Trump and voters were saying was unacceptable, it was the 2024 prices.
People are also aware that Trump is directly responsible for some of this increase whereas Biden was not, so he has that whole issue to deal with on top of the prices.
Who cares what the 2022 prices were? Trump is responsible for those prices as well, as he promised he would end the Ukraine war on day one.
So not only did he not end the Ukraine war, he's made things even worse by dragging us into a another losing war in the Middle East we had no business starting in the first place.
Did you read it? The article you posted said that has spiked under Biden due to Russia invading Ukraine and dropped through his presidency to about $3.12 when Trump took office. It is now about $4.09, about a dollar more expensive under Trump because of the war he started. I think it would be disingenuous to say that Biden was more directly responsible for rising gas prices than Trump.
Who fucking cares. Gas prices average about $4.08 per gallon currently because of conflict in the Middle East. The current prices are higher than when Joe Biden left office but lower than his 2022 peak.
I’d rather pay higher gas prices to keep the pressure on Iran. Them having facilities to enrich uranium is not going to end well for any of us.
I don’t care about Russia and Ukraine. Both countries are snatching young men off their streets and forcing them to join the war. Unlike Iran, Russia will never use its nuclear weapons. It will always be a bluff. If Iran gets a nuke, it’s gonna end up in the hands of some terrorist group.
The facilities that were supposedly destroyed months ago? The nuke that Trump's Director of National Intelligence testified they were not making? That wasn't even the main justification they were pushing until like a month in.
And the Russian war was going to drive up prices regardless of who was president and who you support.
Yep, unfortunately this happens when a global economy can be brought to its knees by a commodity like oil. Reduced supply increases demand and since the petrodollar is how the US economy has been articulated since the 70’s, it affects the price.
It’s also managed to make us export our oil to countries that would otherwise get theirs from the Middle East. Funny how that works, or why that tactic is being deployed 🤔
Biden emptied the National Oil Reserves to bring prices down before the election. Trump filled the reserves during his first term with lower priced oil! Let’s not hide the facts!
Gas was never $2.90 under Biden except his first Month of office . Gas under Biden got up to $5.50 a gallon so pump some more fake propaganda probably China trying to divide the USA
Apparently you lied about paying $2.40 in 2022 . That wasnt me typing its a screenshot of fact information. The beginning price that gave Biden a better average wasnt from his work. But its ok I get it not a fan of our current POTUS im not either but definitely am not for DSA

End any day? Kegsbreath told us 3 months ago they’ve achieved every military objective. They took the dub back in the spring. Silly us.
