Another sugar high from Mar-a-Lago chocolate cake, Trump’s spent too much time being schmoozed by his fellow club members. The reality comes from the CBC among others who show that in reality unleaded gas prices have been rising since the beginning of the Trump regime. More Bigly Lies from 45*.
mentions You do know that Canada (that country above us that you keep attacking) supplies 40% of US oil?

mentions Some important context:
1. WTI Crude is still higher now than it was during the first year of his administration.
WTI Crude was ~$47.51 a barrel in June 2017. It’s now $50.42.
50.42 > 47.51

mentions "are you listening Fed”

mentions The price of unleaded gasoline has been rising since the start of the Trump Administration.
mentions Looks like it is the same for the price of oil.
mentions Damm, President T hit a triple. Inflation has been rising for most of his administration as well.
