A delusional Trump lies about Gas Prices, says gas is $1.99, is he OK?

    The word "trigger" never meant so much, for so many, for such trivial things.

    Why not just say 99 cents? I mean if you are going to lie, go biggly!

    I filled up yesterday at $2.699 headed into Independence Day. My previous fill up was $2.669. Both were at Sam's Club.

    Compared to last year at this time, my gas is down .30 cents per gallon.

    I don't see how we are going to do much better until more US supply come online. Oil running between $65 and $69 a barrel doesn't allow for much lower prices at this time.

    BTW, my gas spiked up to $2.839 during the Israeli/Iran Conflict.

    Trump is prone to exaggeration. However, all I care about is results.

    the question, as always, is whether he simply has no clue what gas pricese are or if he's simply lying.

    Here's dear leader again from New Republic"
    "Trump had a sit-down with the more moderate House Republicans on Wednesday in which he told them that the three things they needed to let be if they wanted to win in 2026 and 2028: Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security.
    “But we’re touching Medicaid in this bill,” one member told the president, according to NOTUS sources.
    Trump has never been the wonkiest guy, but the fact that he was seemingly unaware that his “big, beautiful bill” is attacking Medicaid is alarming. Either he’s just completely settled into being a vessel for the Heritage Foundation while their guys spoon-feed him legislation, or his mental acuity needs to be questioned. Or both."
    So here we are again: Lying or poster baby for dementia?
