Since the U.S. and Israel launched air strikes on Iran, gasoline prices have skyrocketed across the country. As President Trump protects the U.S., obviously, regular unleaded prices will rise a little bit, temporarily.
Sure, California prices have hit an all-time high, with a gallon costing over $7. Some well-known left-wing economists estimate that Americans will likely pay approximately $740 more for gas this year, but these are just scare tactics from the left.
The White House has said the spike is temporary and that it will bring down fuel prices. So, then why is the fake media at it again? They’re missing the story, as this may just be President Trump’s greatest success since regaining power.
As he explained on the aptly-named Truth Social, “The United States is the largest Oil Producer in the World, by far, so when oil prices go up, we make a lot of money.”
And he is right.
From Texas to Alaska, the U.S. pumps more than 13 million barrels of oil per day and became the world’s largest oil producer in 2018. Indeed, oil companies such as Chevron and Exxon Mobil are making “a lot of money” from the spike as stock prices rose following the attacks on Iran. Exporters and traders of American liquefied natural gas are also reportedly earning nearly $1 billion more per week.
For the average American, a trip to the gas station has become a fun, interactive experience. Drivers can now play a “guess the price” game where they predict the gas prices on the signs. Americans cannot get this level of suspense when prices are low and predictable. President Trump has once again done what no one else could.
High gas prices also encourage commuters to spend more time at home. When travelling a mile costs around $7, people can relive their “pandemic era” — without the virus — and engage in virtual hangouts with friends, staying at home with their families. What’s better than going to the park or shopping at the local mall? Staying in your room.
The spike also affects airfares, as domestic flights are up 10% to 15%, just in time for spring break. Summer trips are also expected to increase by about 19%. Higher airfares mean less crowded airports, more legroom and room to recline — making trips to Mar-a-Lago a delight.
Unlike previous price spikes, this one is different, according to President Trump. The strikes on Iran are not like the 2022 Ukraine conflict, in which global supply shocks caused U.S. gas prices to reach $5 per gallon. Rather, gas prices are solely affected by domestic changes, not global ones.
Biden’s economists have no idea what they are talking about when they say “supply and demand” and “global markets,” but President Trump does. The basic concepts of economics are fictional and this global conflict defies everything. If he says high gas prices will make the U.S. “a lot of money,” then it will happen.
So, when Americans pump gas and watch as the price shoots upward on the screen, there is only one person to thank. President Trump, “to Thee I sing!”
