    They just thought that was the magic word he was going to use to set gasoline prices back to what they were in 2016!

      I almost wish for gas prices to be as high as they are in other developed countries… That and the tariffs would be a huge wake up. Unfortunately it would be blamed on Biden even 3 years down the road… It’s a no win situation.

        Yeah, Trump not having his horrible decisions and actions held against him is kind of how we got here in the first place. :/

          Oh my sweet summer kiwi friend. If we are going to teach my fellow Americans that other countries exist, and that global commodity prices affect them too, and that they are often more expensive than our “high” prices here, I don’t think we can start with the country that gets left off the map all the damn time by people who should already know better!
