Gas prices at the pump here shot up 30% in one day after Trump bombed Iran and the price of oil jumped.

I reckon they will lower prices just as fast, right?

Gas price in the last month here has gone from $2.79 per gallon to $3.99 per gallon.

The usual suspects are getting rich by ripping us off, and the President and his family and cronies are leading the way.
