Is it the "price of gas, stupid"?

    Say what you want about Trump (and for the record once AGAIN, I don't like the guy one bit) but this is making the rounds. Trump is taking credit (of course) for gas prices when the pandemic knocked down the price of oil. But still, the call looks correct. Especially the "let them drive Teslas" comment.

    This is where conservatives fall apart. Some fail to rally around a person who has carried the banner so well and fought so hard for the principles they champion and America. People need to get over not liking Trump. He's the best thing since sliced bread for the pro-American Conservative movement.

    Sorry, I disagree. Where conservatives should find common ground is in the ability to accept other's viewpoints when they disagree.

    Gotta get over the dislike of Trump. He only lashes out when he's attacked first. I like that. He is a fighter and all these years we have wanted a fighter. Go back and look at what he said to the UN about Russian Oil. Go back and look at him telling NATO they need to pay up and not be beholden to Russia. This is who I want in office. I don't care about mean tweets.

    Just because you don't care about something doesn't mean others can accept it.

    I don't like lies, false promises and unkept promises. Is Trump any different than any other politician in that respect? No.

    I do support a lot of his policies. I just don't like the guy at all.

    Republicans: Why won't Biden stand with Ukraine and ban Russian oil?
    *Biden bans Russian oil imports*
    Republicans: Why does Biden hate American families? He's making your gas prices skyrocket.


    Republicans Pushed For Russian Oil Ban, But Are Already Blaming Biden For High Gas Prices
    A third of all the gas price increases since late 2020 have taken place since Russia invaded Ukraine two weeks ago.

    That's the thing though. Trump kept promises. It disgusts me when I see people like Mitch McConnell, Bill Barr, Bill Kristol etc rip Trump when he is the best flag carrier we have had and who champions our cause.
