2.69 to 3.15 over the night! Those in power don't give a rats butt end!
I even can't make comments on all this mess, peoples are actually little girls. This is diabolical.
Almost $100 per barrel, predicted to hit $300 p/b. But lemme guess, it's the Democrats fault when things go south. But if the current admin gets the victory they seek, Democrats had nothing to do with it! Here's the reality folks….it doesn't f**king matter! We all suffer at the gas pumps, coming home with $100 in groceries in a single shopping bag, barely making ends meet, constant inflation vs. stagnant paycheck, insane child care, school debt, and medical costs….democrat nor republican gets no party favor discount! War is almost at our doorstep, out allies are turning their backs, and we're creating new enemies daily. We need to wake up and realize this 2 party political system isn't doing NOTHING for us except division and getting shafted!
goibg escort tankers, threw the straights to slow an take to long time we hit 5 dollars by next week great midterms house is gone an senate in play now
So when will Americans wake up to the fact that they have an administration completely off the rails.
1 billion a day spent, how long before the economy goes down the toilet. Only the billionaire set making money out of this.
And yet to to see terrorism escalate within America.
FUDGE'N NUTS… 🤬
Trump is going to pull out from the Iran War soon. None of this 100 days nonsense. if the US economy and stocks begin to struggle, then he isn't going to keep going. He will just say he "totally obliterated" the country and leave even Israel to a decision to keep going or give up.
It's going to take a lot more before Trump supporters change their minds. Just look at people. They rarely change their minds. We humans can rationalize and justify ANYTHING.
Which is exactly why this will not be a forever war.
WE THE PEOPLE HAVE TO STOP Trump & His Cabinet. NOW! Before it’s too late. MAy GOD BLESS ALL Of US. GOD BLESS AMERICA 🇺🇸
Give us a break! Trumps just said that it was temporary.
It won't be the slightest concern for the MAGA-matons. Whatever happens under dear leader is ok, just fine.
If only there was an alternative to combustion engines.
Didn't he also say Covid 19 would go away like the flu?
Us shale crude is too expensive to turn to gasoline , so don’t fool anyone . US suffer as well
It's pathetic how they knew there was going to be a massive problem with gas prices rising, but it seems like they are only now trying to come up with a plan. Wouldn't it have made sense to have a plan BEFORE bombing the heck out of Iran? And of course there isn't any plan they can come up with, because the war has already escalated massively and Trump is clueless how to deal with it.
Whatever reserves , the Brand will base on the new crude price , they Reap
And what does a billionaire care about gas pricing going up a couple dollars per gallon when they have billions? Not to mention that Trump has caused us millions and millions of dollars just on his golfing habit, about a third or more out of each year he's supposed to be working.
"Well, maybe the children will have two d̶o̶l̶l̶s̶ gallons of gas instead of 30 d̶o̶l̶l̶s̶ gallons" –Trump April 30, 2025
This war helps Israel, not the American people. They are the tail that wags the dog.
I think it is laughable how many people hate President Trump. Unless you make oh…500k + a year..none of these politicians care about you. We are all peasants. Stuck in a social media feedback loop that shows us inflammatory rhetoric to keep us clicking. These news stations LOVE trump becuase you sheep just lap it up. We are fighting across the fence, and theyre BOTH standing on top of it peeing down our backs. Blasphemy.
Still not to bad at the moment better then biden prices for sure
If you wake up everyday ask what can we say to make someone look bad that is not new that is hate
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Cry baby cry
"We have to focus on the short term…" Proceeds to say, "will be a very good thing … in the long term." Airhead doesn't begin to explain it.
Trump only knows how to break stuff. Total loser, thankful he too shall pass.
He knows he's not going to survive the Epstein revelations, so he's burning down the house. Fake president; real jerk.
THIS REMINDS ME OF HOW VIETNAM STARTED. JUST A FEW TROOPS AT FIRST. THEN A DRAFT. WONDER HOW FAR PEOPLE ARE GOING TO LET THIS THING GO?
9:32 min How can something where explosions are taking place not be called a war ? The Main issue is the War with Iran – Iran has to be defeated . Oil prices are a secondary matter.
Same media never talked "skyrocketing" during dementia Joe's disaster years.
Don't need no stinking gasoline. AI will soon take all the jobs, no job, dont need gas to drive to work. Invest in bicycle futures.
This could be the 1st time the national avg will surpass 5 bucks a gallon.
This network had little to nothing to say when Biden drove oil prices up $130 a barrel and decimated our oil reserve to make up for his blundering of the American economy that is still an issue to this day. Prices are high today due to the economy not going into a recession.
Yup, i think US people will take their own government 😂😂,
America has been exposed
The maga lovers will say it's fake news. We're all just imagining high gas prices. We haven't realized yet how good we have it under president dumpster and his big beautiful administration.
Delusional with the firings, it has already been shown that fewer and fewer Americans are filing for unemployment. Dont need as many jobs when deportations are going well. Millions of jobs lol. Non GDP revenue government jobs for brainwashed college students created by the Biden administration means nothing for Americas GDP.
Trump is a liability
Twenty years and $8 trillion spent with Afghanistan war to topple the Taliban and place them back in power.
So US is now TERRORIST STATE?
Oil prices will reach $150 per barrel by April
