Instead of dropping by a dollar-fifty a gallon, since the start of the year the price has gone up by a buck-and-a-half per gallon.

Repeat after me: What Donald Trump and the GOP promised was to
Make Americans' Groceries Affordable,
Make Americans' Gas Affordable and
stop the endless wars that cost needless trillions of dollars.

What Trump and the GOP gave you is an illegal tariff war that made the costs of your groceries skyrocket and
a war of choice with Iran that increased the price of your gasoline by $3.00 per gallon more than the price Trump promised you.

Trump and the GOP have betrayed you by taking their eye off the ball while they obsessed over their ballroom.
