I bet it’s my taxpayer money.
Speed run for fastest decline of a Nation?
It’s so infuriating that no one is stopping this shithead while he just does one illegal thing after another.
The conservatives and their party are terrible and nutless wonders. Imagine being such a cuckservative that you sit in Congress as an R and do absolutely nothing about any of this corruption.
We tried to stop him, but she had a vagina and a funny laugh.
If the product is free/under valued then you are the product!
We’re stealing it, obviously… From Russian shadow fleet tankers, Venezuela, and Iran. Trump hasn’t even been quiet about it, not that he ever is…
I AM THE QUIETEST PERSON ON EARTH, by far the quietest, most humble, some would even say humblest person in the world, one day a big man, strong man, tears down his eyes, came begging me to build a statue of me of gold, saying mister President, you must allow it, but because I am so humble, I said, no, you must not worship golden idols, just like it says in the BIBLE, my favourite book, great book, love all the testaments, you know that the JEWS share part of the BIBLE WITH US CHRISTIANS, really cool, truly unique, no one knows that, Bibi knows that though, he’s very smart HIGH IQ just like me, I took THREE TESTS and PASSED THEM ALL, doctors said nothing like this has been seen before I AM IN SUCH GREAT WEALTH, just like the GREAT MITCH MCCONNELL, poor Mitch, old Mitch, right now lying in bed trying to fight the WOKE LIBERAL MIND VIRUS, I wish him well, all the DUMOCRATS (dumb+ Democrats) DIDN’T, those DOGS which THEY ARE EATING are LIARS AND BAD PEOPLE.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER
You forgot the “POTUS DJT” sign off
I dunno, sounds like a bunch of lies tbh. Like, he isn’t quiet, but how much of what he’s saying is coherent, let alone how much of what he’s been told is true?
3.59 today while I was on foot. The 3.47 is not some subsidized price. The president endorsed a random-ass marketing campaign, presumably for a kickback
Probably the most toxic form of gas on the planet.
It’s just watered down. If it’s 25% cheaper its likely 40% water…
I do they they’re throwing more ethanol in. My gas milage is down.
I beg to differ, has is 3.69 and diesel is 4.59 where I live (Arizona). Sorry that’s not cheap
Relative to other nations besides ones in the Middle East it is.
Simply look at the wholesale price of gas + taxes. There’s massive profit margins everywhere you look.
When this new gas station opened 3.47 was significantly profitable. you’ve been getting ripped off and now call out a business with realistic pricing a scam or fraud?
More than a half-dozen fuel industry analysts and officials, including some who work with retailers in the two states, told POLITICO they had no idea who was behind the effort and were baffled at how the retailer could survive offering discounts of up to 50 cents per gallon, well below market rate.
Experts in the field all seem to think it’s fairly obviously not profitable.
Gas stations changed their branding overnight, the business only incorporated June 23rd, and no one can say who’s behind it or who is covering these losses.
It’s obviously some shady BS from the trump regime, trying to minimize the impact of their fuckups in iran.
“Experts” that obviously profit from high prices
There’s no losses when they are selling at profit. Look at the wholesale cost of gas with taxes. When the brand launched it was $3
Running a gas station costs more than the raw cost of wholesale gasoline. You have to pay for delivery, employees, rent, maintenance, and taxes, at the very least.
The number includes tax and delivery. More is sold than just gas, and 47c per gallon is considerable profit margin for a gas station to operate
Russian imports
This. Hè found a way to help Putin
State run petrol boys. We made it! Up there with the likes of Aramco, Rozneft and Gazprom
No idea how long it will last, but as soon as the mid terms are done, they’ll definitely be gone.
My theory is, some domestic fuel producer has done the math and decided that a dem majority in the mid terms will cost them more than providing this discount on fuel for the next 4 months.
Hopefully, they pay for the discount and face a dem majority after the mid terms.
They have been assured by the Epstein class that the fix is in for the mid terms.
How long until people start complaining about check engine lights and wrecked fuel systems due to the 50% ethanol or 30% methanol mix of Freedom Fuel? Lol
You assume they aren’t just straight up adding water.
maybe they are harvesting algae to make biofuel
Like in the reflecting pool?
It’s aaaallllll connected! Lol
I wouldn’t put it past them but water sinks to the bottom of the tank and doesn’t mix with gas. When they talk about gas stations “watering down” gas they almost always mean ethanol or methanol. Unless it’s E10 because ethanol is hygroscopic it will hold aboit 1% water if fully blended. That’s why E10 is shit.
Didn’t he already mandate that we can have increased ethanol this summer due to his stupid fucking war?
People from other countries call this “communism”.
No we don’t. We call it authoritarian corruption and price fixing.
You are both correct!
… but some of us are more correct than others.
They’re selling the strategic petroleum reserve.
They’ve been selling that.
One of the major storage sites is dry,and this was reported a month ago.

This is a great guess, because it’s one of the few ways that explains the lower prices but also allows Trump to both grift public resources to his friends while getting unearned positive MAGA publicity.
And it’s in direct response to that Pennsylvania woman on the news at a gas station saying that she voted for him 3 times and “apparently I’m an idiot” over the gas prices. He’s trying to keep PA from going blue.
Bold of you to assume they give a shit what voters think or do at the ballot stations any more.
They don’t give a shit about voters, they do care about optics though which is exactly what this is.
I think you’re wrong. But you are bold as well for making a statement like that.
Their playbook is to do everything they can to make voters not matter.
How? He just fired the last 2 officials on the federal election committee (there’s zero now). He already said DHS will be at the polls and they’re extorting voting records from the states.
Socialized gas!
Is that how the reserve works though?
Here in Australia the reserve isn’t a bunch of big tanks owned by the government. Its a legislative mechanism requiring fuel retailers to hold a reserve.
It wouldn’t make sense for the government to own or manage a reserve because it needs to be cycled constantly (petrol deteriorates quickly, diesel too but less so), and they’d need to replicate skills from the fuel industry.
That being the case I don’t think there’s a big tank of fuel owned by the government.
The SPR holds mainly crude oil, so you can’t just open a gas station and start selling it. It has to be sent to a refinery first, and once that happens the product that comes out is fungible.
In short it would be logistically simpler to just buy gasoline on the market and subsidize it. The subsidy is only 20-30 cents / gal as well.
Disclaimer I’m not American, and I don’t really have much actual knowledge on this subject.
…but I THINK US presidents can actually do this. I’m not sure what the legal mechanism is, but I do remember some chatter some15 years ago about Obama releasing the reserves. This makes me believe that the strategic reserve builds up during normalcy, and can be drained through executive action.
SPR oil is sold competitively when the President finds, pursuant to the conditions set forth in the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA), that a sale is required. Historically, the President has authorized emergency releases from the SPR on four occasions.
In short, yes I believe this to be the case
You’re correct. That’s why the US reserve storage holds oil, not fuel.
