You forgot your usual banter that includes MAGA, dear leader, etc. It’s so original and fresh!

And then add that zest of like an angry old guy shaking his fist at the sky. Or in this case, shaking it at Biden’s $5.01 per gallon.

PS - HD just posted in the “government shutdown” thread. Hurry up and go ride his coattails and include some of the above, but only in an insultative manner!

I have no sidekicks. But, Trump did help pave part of the way for those gas prices. Not relevant to this thread, though

Sure he did.

Yeah, that's the ticket. Keep slinging the personal digs while avoiding the issue.

Gas prices are higher today than they were a year ago. This is trump's mess now. Deal with it.

Post 278 uses facts and data that gas prices have decreased since Trump has come into office.

A year ago, Trump wasn’t in office so it doesn’t matter. Your data point is garbage and irrelevant.

Run along to Bluesky now so you can be in the echo chamber chamber chamber.

Dude, seriously. You can't be this dense. Prices have GONE UP since this time last year.

trump not being in office at this time last year is exactly the point I'm making. HD tried to illustrate this, as well.

Is any of this registering with you? Gas prices? Higher under trump NOW than when he took office.

Jayzee is smarter than AI again! Or so he thinks!

New handle, same wrong takes. The 43 is interesting after the new handle, must be year of birth.

Post 278 says gas prices are lower under Trump courtesy of AI.

[jayzee43]

The price at the pump begs to differ with your little AI nonsense.

Can AI tell the difference between $3.43 and $3.36? Can trump? Because he says gas prices are "way down". Even if the numbers were reversed, gas would only be 7 cents cheaper than at this time last year.

That's not "way down", no matter how much Dear Leader lies to you about it.

Anyway, back to reality, gas is 7 cents "way up" from last year.

Trump wasn’t in office a year ago.

Gas prices are down 40% today under Trump from the Biden peak of $5.01 per gallon.

Two can play the “let’s pick whatever starting point we want” game.

[jayzee43]

You really must be that dense. Nobody, and I mean nobody, is saying trump was in office a year ago.

If missing the point was your job, you'd be getting a raise.

trump campaigned on lowering prices "on day one". The prices of both gas and groceries are HIGHER now than the day he took office. Full stop.

And coming this January, you'll be able to add healthcare premiums to that list. NOTHING is getting cheaper under trump. Not a single thing.

Someday, maybe you'll be able to admit that you got fleeced by a carnival barker. It will be a cathartic moment. I promise.

Sorry jayzee born in 1943.

Gas prices are down since Trump took office.

And if you look bigger picture (it’s hard for you) inflation under Biden averaged 5%+ per year peaking around 7-8% in 2021. YTD 2025 for Trump is around 3%.

Advantage Trump.

Gas is part of inflation and thems the facts.

[HDGristle]

If you focus on when gas was the highest vs what it was towards the end of the administration you get some different facts and a different story

Keep making personal digs. It's adorable and very telling that you don't have the facts on your side.

Both gas and groceries are more expensive now than the day trump took office. But go ahead, and trot out your little AI graphs that show something other than the reality that's directly in front of all our eyes.

Hey, look! I can do AI, too! Woops...

Gas prices are higher today than they were in January 2025. The national average gas price was about $3.08 in January 2025, while today's average is approximately $3.15, a slight increase.

January 2025
The national average price for regular gasoline was around $3.08 per gallon in January 2025, according to data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics.
Prices had stabilized in January 2025 after peaking the previous month, reaching a low for the year.

Today (November 2025)
The national average price for regular gasoline is currently around $3.15 per gallon.
This represents a modest increase from the January 2025 average.

Let’s pretend your Bluesky AI is correct, which it isn’t.

It says gas prices have gone from $3.08 to $3.15, this is a 2.3% increase.

Inflation is at 3.0% so gas prices have increased less than overall inflation.

Trump wins again! Even BlueSky AI knows it!

Muahhhhhh!
