Gas Prices Skyrocket as Trump’s America Gets Punched in the Gut

Look, I’m not saying Democrats and their Iranian puppet masters are behind this, but when gas prices hit $3.25 a gallon under President Trump’s watch, you have to wonder. Just months after re-election, and suddenly we’re all paying through the nose at the pump. Coincidence? I think not.

John Andrews, a patriot running a meal delivery service in South Carolina, is driving 100 miles weekly just to keep his business alive. “The economy is killing me,” he laments, watching his profits evaporate faster than Biden’s cognitive abilities. But hey, at least he’s not some lazy welfare recipient expecting handouts!

The Iran conflict—which totally wasn’t inevitable given their nuclear ambitions—is supposedly driving up oil prices. Funny how that works when you have to actually confront America’s enemies instead of sending them pallets of cash like certain previous administrations. Now small businesses are getting hammered, and who suffers? Hardworking Americans, that’s who.

And let’s talk about these so-called “small businesses” crying about expenses. Maybe if they weren’t so busy virtue signaling with DEI hires and paying for gender transition benefits, they could afford the rising costs. But no, they’d rather blame Trump’s America First policies than admit their woke business models don’t work.

Kareem Miller, who runs Strong Pact Trucking in Chicago, is watching diesel prices jump 11% in a week. “I’ve never seen prices spike that quick,” he says, probably while wearing a mask and believing in climate change. Typical liberal response—blame the market instead of supporting domestic energy production. Maybe if we’d kept drilling, we wouldn’t be at the mercy of Iranian oil!

The media wants you to believe this is all just market forces at work. But ask yourself: why now? Why during Trump’s second term when America is finally standing up to globalists and communists? They want you struggling at the pump so you’ll vote Democrat in 2026. Don’t fall for it!

Meanwhile, California florists and Hollywood bus tour operators are whining about their costs going up. Boo hoo! Maybe if they supported law enforcement instead of defunding them, tourists would feel safe visiting again. But no, they’d rather complain about gas prices than admit their sanctuary city policies are killing their businesses.

The bottom line: gas prices are rising, small businesses are suffering, and somehow it’s all Trump’s fault according to the fake news media. But we know better. This is just another Deep State attempt to undermine the greatest president since Reagan. Stay strong, America! Keep the faith, and maybe invest in a bicycle while these globalists try to destroy our economy. MAGA!
