And all it took was a complete shut down of oil leaving the Gulf! What a foreign policy genius!

Back on the planet Earth, Trump rejected a new Iranian offer today, and no talks are scheduled.

Prices are going to keep rising while that Strait remains closed. National average gas price today is $4.23.

Just curious - were you complaining about gas process under the prior President?

If I remember correctly, it was the Putin price hike or something else stupid. National avg price was over $5 a gallon in June of 2022. Any complaints then?

Do you remember what was happening in 2022 that sent gas prices so high?

Let me help you: Russia invaded Ukraine. You might remember that. It was back under $4 by August.

National average for a gallon of gas was $2.83 on February 27.

I was just asking. I say we give Trump the same rope you gave Biden? If gas isn’t down in

a year, I’ll say it’s Trumps fault. Even though I was told time again that the President doesnt have control over gas prices.
