Gas prices are not going down anytime soon. Despite the constant spew from our president, the oil companies have no intention of ramping up production (sorry, no “drill, baby, drill”). The U.S. already produces the most oil of any nation in the world. But, as they always have, oil companies appear to be prioritizing earnings over listening to Trump. Funny how that works.


And, by the way, presidents have very little power over the price of oil or much else, and anybody who believed Trump was going to wave a magic wand and return prices to pre-pandemic rates was smoking the good stuff. He is currently just using smoke and mirrors to make it appear he is cutting the government bureaucracy, but until he goes after the defense budget, social security and medicare, his current cuts are basically meaningless—when the Dems take back the House of Representatives in two years and the White House in four years, they will simply restore many of those programs because they just don’t cost much. Trump’s only real motivation right now is retribution against his perceived enemies and, of course, an extension of his tax cuts for wealthy corporations and individuals, like himself and Musk.


Alas, I’m sure it’s fun for the right-wingers to laugh at the hysteria Trump is causing among the libs right now. I just hope they don’t believe that anything in their lives will change much (like lower gas prices) under Trump.

But then, those of us who know better, point out that these same commenters, never say a word when gas prices go down…

Oil is owned, price fixed and abused by two groups. Opec; we all know them; oligarchs and princes; ie, Kings and Queens with blood of influence of revolution to enslave the masses and own land; and Sovereign Ownership, which; always screws the citizen of profit and placed all Liability and Fragility if Failure in them. Presidents; even if Trump says he’ll lower groceries and gas, Cannot do either. And gutting agencies that attempt to monitor fraud, Is Haneous in an already failing fragile system of checks and balances.

Wasn’t our newly elected god-king supposed to bring prices down? Huh, funny how that works, who would’ve thought the deranged billionaire who wants to dismantle the government would blatantly lie. If only a broad coalition of prominent figures spanning political ideologies warned us about this.

Between Canada and Mexico, the US imports over 7 million barrels of oil a day. This produces 140 million gallons of gas a day.


The tariffs will add 70 cents MORE a day per gallon.


Before the rocket scientists as dumb as Trump says “we will produce our own!!!”. Every. Single. Oil. Executive will tell you that it is cheaper to import oil from Canada and Mexico than it is to process it ourselves. They will also tell you that it would take @ 3 years to ramp up production to produce as much as we import from Canada and Mexico. The production cost in labor and equipment to get to that point is many, many billions. That doesn’t even factor the cost of the oil.

When Trump is rolling his head back and forth at the podium growling how he will do all these magical things-the dumb ass cult members laps it up.

How did people get to be so gullible.

Oh… load up on nearly everything else. Including MAGA hats, shirts, flags, bumper stickers. Trump ties and other clothing because all of it is made in China.

Clearly, within weeks of Trump taking office; economic warfare on the lower/middle class has begun and will continue to get worse until the ultra rich achieve their goal of the majority being stuck in inescapable servitude eternally or are overthrown by the people willing to stand up to this nonsense. Use your head; billionaires do not have your interests in mind!

Most of Trumps army is middle class and retirees. They are going to get smoked. Trump and Musk is going to pinch away at social security. The army will then blame everybody but Trump.

If the Trump army wants some financial relief-they need to stop doing fist pumps and belly bumps every time Trump growls.
