As Gas Prices Soar, Transportation Secretary Mockingly Encourages Summer Road Trips
America, Trump and the Republicans are laughing their flabby asses off at you, and you know what, you deserve it. According to them, you must be the dumbest sumbitches wearin’ shoes.
That is, while you can still afford shoes.
In Project 2025 they told you they were going to do away with any meaningful subsidies to the ACA so they could use that money to fund tax cuts for the already obscenely wealthy; then they went ahead and did just that!
They said they were going to reduce as many benefits in Medicaid and Medicare as they could to fund future tax cuts, and they did that, too.
Veteran’s benefits? Trump called them suckers, so let them limp around on stumps.
Food stamps? If the Republican pedophiles aren’t screwin’’ your children one way, they are screwin’ them in another.
Aid to education? Your kids better learn the difference between curly fries and crinkle cut while Barron Trump, a 19-year-old college student, is already a billionaire. A billion dollars could buy a lot of textbooks.
Social Security? A thousand different Social Services? Regional hospitals? All gone.
Our former best friends now hate us, and our allies now recognize another Trump could come along at any minute, and they now know better than to trust us in anything.
And all the while the GOP is laughing at your sorry asses. They are so blind to the failing economy the Transportation Secretary, a multi-millionaire named Sean Duffy, who never had to worry about paying a bill in his life, is mocking us by blithely suggesting Americans jump into their jalopy and ramble off to see America this summer.
Really, isn’t that what everyone does on summer vacation?

As Gas Prices Soar, Transportation Secretary Encourages Summer Road Trips
Story by Graeme Demianyk • 2h •
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy dismissed concerns about spiraling gas prices caused by the Trump administration's war with Iran as he urged American families to hit the road for their summer vacation. Speaking to a reporter during an event in Philadelphia on Thursday, Duffy suggested Americans are “going to see prices come down immediately,” pointing to the fall in the price of crude oil amid hopes of a U.S.-Iran peace deal.
“So, we're in a good place,” he said.
Asked about when the drop would trickle down to prices at the pump, which impacts the vast majority of Americans who take road trips for their summer vacation, he replied: “First of all, we want to encourage all Americans to take a road trip. Whether you're going to go two hours or two days to see your country.”
His comments come as AAA said gas prices have hit another new high, averaging $4.55 a gallon.
“Pump prices are now $1.40 higher than they were a year ago and have reached their highest level since 2022, when the national average peaked at $5.01 per gallon,” it said.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy dismissed concerns about spiraling gas prices caused by the Trump administration's war with Iran as he urged American families to hit the road for their summer vacation; the arrogance of wealth.

No Road Rules for him and no Peanut Butter for his wife!!
I think most people can afford $1-$2 more per gallon. It’s not that deep. You just sound broke.
