3. that POS has never pumped gas in his entire privileged life

he also thinks EVERYONE is as stupid as the people who voted for him

[House of Roberts]

5. He never looks out the limo window either

except when he passes one of his hotels with his name on it.
In my town, there's a gas station every half mile or so, and you're constantly reminded of the current price for gas.

[Skittles]

15. to be fair, even if he DID see it with his own eyes

he'd STILL lie about it

[wnylib]

19. He's GASlighting, as usual.

The only thing about gas that's likely to go down is its availability while Hormuz remains closed.

[PatSeg]

31. That is true

For him, reality is whatever he says it is. He thinks he is magic and can create any reality he chooses.

[Skittles]

35. "fake numbers"

he lives in his own reality and his bootlickers participate in his delusions

[PatSeg]

40. I've never seen anyone throw out wild, fake numbers

like he does. He doesn't even try to sound credible and when his mistakes are called out, he just doubles down and repeats them again.

It reminds me of when he kept referring to the "Spanish Flu" of 1918 as the flu of 1917. The mistake was pointed out over and over again, yet he STILL called it the 1917 Flu. Who does stuff like that? Everyone else in the world is wrong and HE is right?

[Skittles]

41. the man simply can NEVER admit to being wrong - not ever

and yes, it is ridiculous beyond belief in ANYONE but pretty catastrophic in a fucking "PRESIDENT"

[PatSeg]

42. I think it was instilled in him as a kid

and admitting he is wrong is like a death sentence for him. We've been watching all his traumatic childhood issues playing out daily as he repeats the same cruel taunts and putdowns he experienced as a child.

How different the world might be if this man-child had had meaningful therapy when he was young. Though there is no way to know for sure. Perhaps he would be just as bad.

[Skittles]

43. anyone with critical thinking skills can see how fucked up he is

yet so many people see something of VALUE there - UGH!

[PatSeg]

44. That is the part that blows my mind

If the average person met a Trump-like man in any other setting or even as a character in a movie, they would immediately know there is something seriously wrong with him, yet we had tens of millions of Americans who voted for him to lead our country............most of them voted for him TWICE!

What the hell!?!? How is that possible? He tells the world who and what he is every single day. I don't think I'll ever understand it.

[Skittles]

45. I always knew there were a lot of stupid people around

it wasn't until Trump came along that I started to realize just how many of these fucking morons exist

[PatSeg]

46. Oh yes, same here

I've known such people throughout my life, but I never imagined there were so many of them. How many rocks have they been hiding under all these years?

Of course, the other side of the story is that these are the kinds of people who didn't used to vote. They had no real interest in politics, government, or democracy. But they did watch reality TV and Fox News which transitioned into the Tea Party people and eventually MAGA.

It is a social thing for them like a club which clearly has become a cult. They would show up at rallies with lawn chairs, coolers, signage, and totally weird costumes - a picnic or a party. These weren't serious voters, they were people looking to socialize and Trump gave them a reason to meet with like-minded people. I would like to think that perhaps a better educational system could have prevented this.

[Skittles]

49. wow, I never thought of that

you are correct, these morons didn't used to vote

I remember the shock some of them expressed when Biden won - they opined WTF, there weren't mega-rallies for Biden and no prolific Biden merch - yeah, BECAUSE WE'RE NOT A FUCKING CULT

[RussBLib]

4. Just crossed $4/gallon in S TX

On an uphill climb. Falling my ass. Trump lies about everything, as usual.

Record high of $4.45 here back in 2021.

[Blues Heron]

6. Demented

[Botany]

16. Straight up nucking futz.

The last minute or so was so whack a doo that it defies description.
The crazy man was talking on how he controls the price of gasoline
something about “we are going to bring it down to …. 85 … and then he looked
@ somebody off camera who said, yes 85. Or something like that.

Trump is nutz!

BTW his face is sliding off his head or at least that is how I see it.

[Blue Owl]

7. It's raining in MAGAland

Or wait — is that just trump pissing on your leg with his beautiful golden showers?

[Morbius]

8. Late last week I was forced to get gas in Chicago...

...because I was low on gas and that's where the opportunity arose to get some. I paid $5.199 per gallon, the most I've ever spent. It has gone up since, not down.

The real tragedy here is that some people will believe it, because their savior said it.

[DBoon]

9. and the chocolate ration has even increased

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grammes a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be REDUCED to twenty grammes a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed

10. Lying sack of shit!

[Prairie Gates]

11. Literally GAS-lighting

A little too on the nose, innit?

[dalton99a]

13. +1

[llmart]

47. More like "gas-lying".

[struggle4progress]

12. "And I am a stone-cold liar"

[dalton99a]

14. .

[LudwigPastorius]

17. There simply MUST be a pony underneath that mountain of horseshit.

Right?

[Vogon_Glory]

30. There might be, but there was so much horseshit that

the poor thing was smothered to death.

[calimary]

18. How 'bout "have YOU looked?"

And by the way, what have YOU been smoking lately, donald?

[jonstl08]

20. $4.39 St Louis Suburbs

It hit $4.39 in the St Louis Suburb where I live.

[Emile]

21. He's snorting way too much coke.

[eShirl]

22. yes we have fucking looked you compulsive liar

[sop]

23. Gas prices aren't just down a little bit...no, they're "way down." Because when Trump lies, he swings for the fences.

I didn't listen to Trump's voice on that video, doing so only produces anger and revulsion, but did any of the "reporters" listening to his bullshittery ask any follow ups?

[D_Master81]

24. Does he just say shit now?

Or is he so surrounded by sycophants that he’s being told this? It’s one or the other cause it’s definitely not based on facts

[Mr.Bee]

27. What, You Expect Him To Start Telling Thr Truth?

He'll Be Lyin' Til He's Lying
in his grave.

[Mr.Bee]

25. Sure They Are

When You Don't Have To Buy Gas

[The Madcap]

26. Up is Down, War is Peace, Death is Life...

Man, this administration is full-on 1984.

[Bristlecone]

33. More Victory Gin for everyone!

[Submariner]

28. Has that Soft Handed Desk Mammal ever put gas in a tank?

doubt it.

[Vogon_Glory]

29. Gas prices are down? Could have fooled me!

I have receipts from several months ago with mid-grade gas prices marked at three and some thing per gallon. More recently I’ve been paying four and something in Colorado and New Mexico and FIVE and something in the Rocky Mountain high country. Who do I believe, Donald John or my gas receipts and my lying eyes?

Answer: the latter two.

And what’s more, I expect petrol prices to go further UP, not down!

[Bristlecone]

32. He is truly delusional.

$1.85 in IA. Bull f’in shit. It has not “ come down substantially, like we’ve never seen before, in many places”

In IA or anywhere else.

34. Ah the joys of senility

36. The only thing that's declined is tRump

37. He lies easier than he breathes.

[Efilroft Sul]

38. Nobody working for a living believes that shit.

Unless they're jacked in to Fox News and talk radio.

[themaguffin]

39. The cultists still deflect

[llmart]

48. I paid almost $4.80/gallon today.

And that was with my Kroger points I saved up for the month of April. Fortunately I am retired and own a Honda Civic, so I usually only fill up once a month, but my total was $48 and my tank wasn't even almost empty. Ever since I've owned that car (2015) it has cost me anywhere between $20-$28 to fill up.

Let's not forget about the impact it has on just about everything else also. Every single one of my monthly utility bills has gone up and not just a little. Then there's the cost of groceries. I feel sorry for people trying to raise children and run a household in this economy.

[Retrograde]

50. If "down" is the same as "up"

then yes, they’re down from $4 two weeks ago to $6.50 today. When someone like Donnie can make up his own meanings for words you can prove anything - like logically proving anything from a false premise
