except when he passes one of his hotels with his name on it.
In my town, there's a gas station every half mile or so, and you're constantly reminded of the current price for gas.

The only thing about gas that's likely to go down is its availability while Hormuz remains closed.

For him, reality is whatever he says it is. He thinks he is magic and can create any reality he chooses.

The last minute or so was so whack a doo that it defies description.
The crazy man was talking on how he controls the price of gasoline
something about “we are going to bring it down to …. 85 … and then he looked
@ somebody off camera who said, yes 85. Or something like that.

Trump is nutz!

BTW his face is sliding off his head or at least that is how I see it.

Fri May 8, 2026, 12:13 AM

...because I was low on gas and that's where the opportunity arose to get some. I paid $5.199 per gallon, the most I've ever spent. It has gone up since, not down.

The real tragedy here is that some people will believe it, because their savior said it.

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grammes a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be REDUCED to twenty grammes a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed

I didn't listen to Trump's voice on that video, doing so only produces anger and revulsion, but did any of the "reporters" listening to his bullshittery ask any follow ups?

Or is he so surrounded by sycophants that he’s being told this? It’s one or the other cause it’s definitely not based on facts

29. Gas prices are down? Could have fooled me!

I have receipts from several months ago with mid-grade gas prices marked at three and some thing per gallon. More recently I’ve been paying four and something in Colorado and New Mexico and FIVE and something in the Rocky Mountain high country. Who do I believe, Donald John or my gas receipts and my lying eyes?

Answer: the latter two.

And what’s more, I expect petrol prices to go further UP, not down!
