Big orange ass spews gas about the price of gas

"Shame, shame, shame," former President Donald Trump said Thursday, blaming President Joe Biden's policies for increased fuel costs ahead of a major holiday weekend marking the start of summer travel.

"I'm sorry to say the gasoline prices that you will be confronted with are far higher than they were just a short number of months ago where we had gasoline under $2 a gallon," Trump said in a statement. "Remember as you're watching the meter tick, and your dollars pile up, how great of a job Donald Trump did as President."

The White House didn't immediately respond to Newsweek's request for comment.

Gas prices rose dramatically when the Colonial Pipeline—one of the major fuel suppliers across the southeast—was compromised by international hackers earlier this month.

Hey you stupid fuck did you ever learn about supply and demand while attending Wharton? As demand goes up with no change in supply so does the price. The price of gasoline has always gone up during the spring and summer months because that's the time most people travel.

last year was so many people stopped driving when everything was closed.

I think gas prices are high because there is no real competition among the handful of giant oil companies.

People were doing so little driving that auto insurance companies rebated partial premiums.

"So pat me on the back"

"Oh and it was fucked up that oil actually went negative for awhile, which had never happened ever because the bottom literally fell out of the market completely!"

Fuck off you fucking fuckface fuck.

and hundreds of small drilling and associated companies went belly up.

Trumpy was a DISASTER for the American oil industry. In order to keep gas prices low, he encouraged the Saudi's to increase production, which they were happy to do because it was bad for both American producers as well as the Russians.

Always sniping, always assigning blame, always claiming credit, always self-aggrandizing. He's toxic to the body politic; he is a malignant tumor.

I've never hated another human being as much. He has no redeeming qualities. He can't pass from American Culture quickly enough.

Means that demand is increasing, hence gas prices are going up.

Plus it's summer.

Gas wasn't $2 a few months ago that I recall. Def not around here in AZ.

Also, he could never have written 'you will be confronted with' all by himself. Too complex of verbiage.

You can sure bet he did, but he pretty much knows his base does not understand it a bit.

So while his statement pisses you/us off, his base loves it bc it justifies getting their hate on against Biden.
