I’ll Take Trump’s Gas Prices Over Biden’s ‘Roaring Economy’ Any Day
The Federalist ^ | 10 Mar 2022 | Kylee Zempel

There’s a reason that stickers with Biden’s face and an “I did that” caption are ubiquitous on gas pumps around the country.

Gas price averages keep skyrocketing upward in line graphs resembling Mount Everest, and it’s astonishing in light of the rosy way President Joe Biden painted the state of our union just last week during his eponymous speech.

It’s almost comical to consider how Biden proudly and delusionally compared himself to his predecessor, under whom gas prices lived in the $2.00 territory — especially when you consider that Trump’s predictions about Biden being a presidential disaster have proved to be spot-on.

Donald Trump’s tax cuts only helped the rich, Biden said during his address, and now anyone earning less than $400,000 a year doesn’t have to pay any more in taxes. Buying American products is a priority, he added, and my tax plan will lower costs. Oh, and our economy has roared back since my administration took the reins.

Americans didn’t need Glenn Kessler fact-checking these statements to rightly conclude that they’re lies; they feel it at work, the grocery store, and the gas pump. The exorbitant price of fuel sure doesn’t feel like the result of a “made in America” pledge, nor does it feel like a tax cut or a roaring economy.

Reminds me of that old saying about the roaring actually being farts.

If it were only Brandon, then I’d agree. There are a lot of players in this. Including those who tell partial truths in the right wing media.

All the misery and world strife is the result of the steal. The steal was and still is real. The steal has done great damage.
Fix 2020 and set things right.

If the economy is roaring like they say, then we shouldn’t have a problem with paying more for gas. Right Joe?

Joe has to be careful when it comes to farts. At his age, things can go South very quickly...
