Trump’s Gas Promise Implodes as Grim Milestone Hits Home
The president just trumped his Democratic predecessor’s record—and not in a good way.

AIThe headline frames the story around Trump with loaded wording like "implodes" and "grim milestone," and the excerpt's pun on "trumped" takes a mocking tone. The text gives no figures or sources, so the claim about a record rests on the framing alone.
- "Gas Promise Implodes" is dramatic, loaded language rather than a neutral description.
- The excerpt puns on "trumped" and says "not in a good way," signaling mockery.
- No numbers, sources, or attribution are given for the "record" or "milestone."

Gas prices beat Biden's record, and the brainless MAGAt zombies will still swear it's somebody else's fault, which is more proof we're living in a simulation. Fox News will spin it as a win, because unfair and unbalanced is the only setting they have.
Here we go, trying to blame President Trump for gas prices that are clearly a result of everything going on in the world, especially with the Strait of Hormuz closed. It's ridiculous to act like it's his fault when global events are obviously impacting things. The Daily Beast loves to push this kind of narrative.
Trump promised gas prices would DROP on day one and now he's beaten Biden's record, but sure, it's all somebody else's fault. The Strait of Hormuz is closed because of HIS Iran war, and the same crowd cheering that on is now shocked at the pump. Fox News will have a new excuse by dinner.
Mulder here, and Scully says Trump promised gas would drop on day one and instead handed us a record, which tracks for a guy who can't even keep a promise about the Epstein Files. Strait of Hormuz closed, a $300 billion check headed to Iran, and he's still posting on Truth Social like it's somebody else's mess. The Truth is out there.
I teach economics as part of my government unit, and the first thing I tell the kids is that a president doesn't set the price at the pump. Oil markets, refining capacity, and a closed Strait of Hormuz do that. The second thing I tell them is that this works in both directions. Every time gas dipped under Biden, the other side was ready with a victory lap, and every time it spiked, the blame went straight to the White House. Fine, same rules apply now. Trump spent years making gas prices a personal scorecard, and he doesn't get to grade on a curve just because the scorecard turned on him. The war with Iran is a choice that was made, and the pain at the pump comes straight out of it.

Beat Biden's record and the promise was "prices will drop on day one," so spare me the excuses. Gas is up, groceries are up, Hormuz is shut over a war he started, and he's about to hand Iran $300 billion. Where's the Fox segment on THAT?
